Haha. Hardest part IMO is getting them up from when your sitting up to sitting down lol

[andybob]

You guys are some animals. I did flat DB bench today but I only worked up to 70's. Nice and alow reps though and I contracted my chest as hard as I could at the top. That makes a huge difference.

[benz88]

I wish We had higher than 100's at Goodlife, Or atleast the one I go to. Im at 85's now and Hoping to hit 100's by christmas.

Chest day today, should be fun. Need to make it past 100lb dumbells, hope to do so by the end of the summer.

We've got both, Stationary bikes that look like race bikes lol. And the ones that you sit back in and peddle. And Rowing machines that apparently burn a crap load of Cals.

I should do some rowing to build my back more. I'm actually going to start hitting back a little on chest day in addition to having a dedicated back day. My back isn't near as thick as my chest so I gotta do a little extra.

I like the stair master. Going to do that twice a week for 15min. Besides that no Cardio

I really wish step mills were still around. Not many gyms have then anymore. They have stair machines but they just aren't the same as a step mill. You can burn some serious calories on them in a hurry.

I'd have to say my favorite though is the good old stationary bike.

[benz88]

Yup

Im catching you Andy lol. I weighed in at 208 today, lol

[andybob]

So I about shit myself today when I weighed myself. Back around the beginning of June I was about 186-187. Today I was 202. Diets been kinda shitty on the weekend so it's time to change that and get back to it.

[andybob]

I really gotta start doing Deads. Ive only done them a handfull of times.

[Average_Jerk]

I was always under the impression Squat and deads should be pretty close. Maybe im wrong though

typically you should deadlift more. my proportions are shitty for deadlifting, so its about even with my squat.

[Average_Jerk]

Yeah. I'm pretty pleased with it. Would love to crack 300 by the end of the year.

So right now as it is my max bench is 225, squat is 275, and deadlift is 405 putting me at a combined max of 905 right now for all 3. Would love to get that to over 1000 by the end of the year.

whats your squat day program look like?
