Nice.!

[benz88]

So my legs are still cashed from Tuesday. Im willing to bet I could do that routine once a week and make as much progress as my normal twice a week. Did Chest and Triceps today. Arms are are killed.

Nice.!

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.

[benz88]

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

[andybob]

I've always been able to deadlift really well. Not sure why. lol

Never been the best at bench though but hopefully someday I'll move around some heavy poundages.

Not sure if I've ever mentioned this in here but I also do all my lifts raw. No wraps, no belt, no straps or gloves. Only thing I use is chalk. I've got nothing wrong with people using any of the stuff I mentioned (well, maybe gloves, ripped up hands are a right of passage) but I've always done everything without them and it's just the way I like to lift.

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

[benz88]

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

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.

[benz88]

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

[benz88]

Yup

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]

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.
