Blut Wumps Another 25

[blut wump]

Wow...3 plates for a double on bench! I'm still working on 3 plates for one, bro!

Thanks, man.

It's all a matter of perspectives. I look at it as an OK bench and a weak squat and dead, with the saving grace that at least I'm squatting more than I press. I guess I'm just another gym rat with a bench too big for his boots. We have one guy in his mid-fifties who does this weight for 8 reps and is just starting to slow down at the end when he probably has another one or two hard ones still left in him.

The three-plate triple has been one of those very-long-term goals of mine for about two decades.

Congrats on the 3 plate triple, form my prespective it's a serious bench press.

Many thanks. If you don't mind, though, I'll save that congrats until I hit it.

I only got a double.

"The three-plate triple has been one of those very-long-term goals of mine for about two decades."

Don't mind me..

The thing is 140kg = 308lbs, which is more then 3 plates aside over here (305).

Last time I counted, 3 US plates aside was 315lb, so he's hit neither yet

Well, focus on the positive BW. Compared to Week One Day One your killing everything. I think I may hit the triple in 2007 - late 2007.....

So.... how much GH is he on? We have a mid-sixties guy that is ripped and strong (225x5 w/no spot - he wouldn't think of it) - tells everybody about the GH his doc gives him and how great he feels. Not sure how many doctors he has giving it to him..........

Congrats on the progress.

Week 11 - Intensity Week2 Day2

Deads went well again. I still had some trouble finding my setup but better than most weeks. The higher start position seems to be helping. My grip was showing some signs of unravelling as I was locking out the last rep on the last two sets so I might have to use mixed soon or sort out the hook grip. 175Kg x 3 x 3 PR

MP went well. Maybe a shade easier than I expected.

Pulldowns similarly. Nothing to report.

I was pleased with the deadlifts. I have high confidence of getting four plates next week for three triples. Since my week got shunted again by a day, I'll be working out on Saturday to end this week and then I'll probably pad next week a little with days off as I push a little harder.
