Aftermath: Extremely pleased with how well my bench has been progressing. Last week I was struggling with sets of 4, this week I'm doing sets of 5. I haven't improved this well in terms of strength since I was 13% + bodyfat so needless to say I'm stoked. Especially for weighing 160lbs

:io:

 

[Chesticles]

You can do more chin weight then that

Nice tri set on the calves, must of burnt like Paulie's cooking

 

[Bulkboy]

wow great session there man

im stunned that u could pull of that much weight on the cg bench after having done regular bench press first, thats great stuff awesome that ur improving strenght wise like this every week, obvious to me that the program is working for you

 

[Palmetto]

I thought you had a surprise for me in here?

 

[Turkish1530]

overall awesome workout brother......i see that bench press increasing brother!!! keep up the hard work and i wanna see another improvement next workout session

 

[Rocky]

Another improvement on bench - and then straight into close grip. Good.

Chins whilst not to your usual weight adding standard are still respectable.

Calf sets are mighty in number.

 

[Dobbs]

Only a matter of time before u hit the big 225 bench, hell that shit may go up now

 

[Rageking]

awesome progress tweak

calf work is still insane, your crazy

 

[Tunen]

so the split works...

 

[Basebodyfitnesspaul]

Awesome workout there Tweak, but i am confused at the lack of weight for your chins? Seens as your a freekin "demon-chinner" (the demon chinner thing sounds good in my head anyway, i just hope it comes out as good as it sounds in my head ) .

P.s. Nice calf work, good too see a tri-set thrown in there for them.

Base

 

[Glex]

Nice going on the bench press. The DB extensions were good, too.

Papi -

Chesty - I wasn't feeling to strong on pullups, so I didn't bother adding any weight, I'm sorry

Bulkboy - thanks dude, much appreciated. I'm pretty stoked I'm gaining strength while staying the same body weight dude, lean mass baby

Palmetto - :io:

Turkish - Bench has increased even more so, just wait for this session I'm about to post

Rocky -

Dobbs - 225 for a double is my goal while staying under 170lbs, I'm hoping to smash it

Rageking - yes, yes I am gotta smash the calves the way they were meant to be hit :ihavesandinmyvagina

Tunen - hell yea, it works very nicely.

Base - I only add weight on pullups when I'm feeling strong and up to the challenge, sometimes I don't feel like it thanks for stopping by dude.

Emerson - thank you

Superb chins, Tweaker. Do you ever do pullups? I never do chins; I'll have to do some next back day especially for you

 

[Clint]

as I explained to you on AIM I used to do pullups, thats all I use to ever do. However, my right lat is stronger and I'd come up uneven so with the underhand grip I get a better contraction of the lats and don't cheat

I always appreciate your comments Emerson

 

[Rageking]

awesome session, that good shit on that bench, it just keeps going up

chins looking great, i always like to alternate between pull ups and chins, get some variation.

 

[Turkish1530]

solid improvement there tweak........and a nice video with the chins....>>question: do you think chin's hit ur back better than pullups???? i read an article on bodybuilding.com and it said that hitting chins will increase ur back width and thickness...???......i just figured a person like urself who kills chins like u would know a thing or two???

To answer your question, yes. I absolutely think chins hit your back better. I feel such a better contraction, go up evenly and its pretty damn hard to mess them up.
With Pullups its pretty easy to go up unevenly and I find the contraction isn't as great.

Thanks for asking the question and insisting I know a thing or two, I'd like to think I know a thing or two

Rage - I sure hope it continues to go up like this

Thanks a ton for stopping by Rage and Turkish, as always its greatly appreciated
