Tweaks Log - Teh Tweakness

[Rocky]

Good job for getting in there and getting something done and working around it and still getting a better lift on the benching. Hopefully these couple of days off will only help further.

 

[Clint]

on db shrugs I dont worry about straps, since forearms are a priority of mine I like to use my grip

thanks for stopping by dude, much appreciated big fella

yes sir gripping them heavvvy dumbbells is a very nice way to build your forearms, i do the same thing sometimes, until my grip is just dead :crymeariver: and then i pull the straps out .........always a pleasure stopping by brother without a doubt

 

[Bulkboy]

great session tweaky pie, like the dumbell shrugs, and im happy to see that ur not focusing so much on the weight on bb shrugs, i really think form and contraction is essential on those.

good work buddy

 

[Dobbs]

Nice session, great job with the shrugs, to bad your grip went out before ur traps did with the db's but either way amazing job right there. Heavy calf traing awesome as well. Hows ur body feeling?

 

[Beau]

ya good work on the traps...and good work getting the free supps! that never hurts

 

[onebigeric]

Beautifully nasty shrugs, brutally excellent calf work, and free swag....



:angrydude::angrydude::angrydude:





Teh jealousy

 

[Rocky]

Nice work. Our simliraities continue. I too do DB shrugs without straps purely to improve my grip and they fail before I'd like (witness my log I'm about to post).

Good job on the calf PB.

 

[Rageking]

nice work tweak, calf work is awesome as always, soon people gonna be saying synthol!

 

[Glex]

Standing Smith Machine Calve Raises - didn't put any pressure on the back

I know you're a very form-conscious person, but if you go heavy on those be careful. I tweaked my back pretty good doing these carelessly. Good job on the PB

 

[Basebodyfitnesspaul]

Free stuff! Thats awesome .

Standing Smith Machine calf shrugs eh? I've never done them before, i'll give them a go next session. Whats the benifit of doing them this way over doing them on a calf raise machine btw Tweak? (if any at all).

Base

 

[Clint]

everybody that stopped by, thanks a lot. I still have to get around to everybody's log, sorry I haven't been around as of late

Base - the standing calve raise machine at my gym (as most are) is made for midgets so I prefer the smith machine


Anyway, I did a leg session yesterday with Paul (he joined the same gym as I now ) but it's nothing special, so I won't bother to post it

Aftermath: Considering I fluctuate from 156-166, and most of the time I weigh 158-162, I'd say my strength isn't too shabby if I do say so myself (benching 195 plenty over my bodyweight )Especially considering I'm not gaining any weight, but continue getting stronger
I honestly thought I'd put on a few pounds from the Creatine, but it has only been a week since I officially started, so we'll see how that goes. In all honestly at this moment I don't care about putting on a ton of weight, I just want to get as strong as possible before I plan on putting on weight on purpose

 

[Turkish1530]

ur strength isn't 2 shabby at all tweak, it's awesome that u weigh around 160 and can not only bench 195 but do it multiple times

 

[Dobbs]

Nice workout, bench keeps getting better and better, I have a hard time putting on weight too, but like u said its awesome to be light and lift impressive weights, pound for pound its very hard for any one to match u, Strength i believe coms alot from the heart, some cant gain size like others( i think im under that category), but to be able to gain strength like u have, shows u have serious determination.

 

[Bulkboy]

yeah great workout tweak, getting stronger from week to week thats awesome man, the chins are superb, the bench press is good too and i love those side laterals, repped for an awesome session bud

 

[Rocky]

Bench is strong indeed sir.

Your chins shame mine these days. Git.

Nice drop sets and supplementary work to finish with.

 

[Tunen]

Some sweet benching right there dude. Nice intensity/volume ratio
