Competition #2 For Anyone and Everyone

[cityhick]

Well tonight I learned one thing for sure. I need to start workin out with my buddy when doing powerlifts. I went to squat today and really wanted to do 315 to the floor. Put the weight on, dont get me wrong it was heavy, and I started down and got about 1/2 way down and had a doubt in my head that I couldnt do it and it fucked me all up. So I didnt get it. I have been getting mental blocks. I cannot have any more distractions and worries when I lift. Fuckin pissed me off. On the other hand, I dead military press 135 X4 on a barbell. That is nothing to brag about but my delts are a big weakpoint im workin on. I am finally getting good pumps threw my ENTIRE back as well. And putting on some weight finally. Im bloated as well so I am kinda soft lookin. Oh well, shirts are getting WAY to small. God its a good feeling.

Mmmm, I know what you mean with the mental blocks. I get mad at it. I lift at home, so on my last rep or 2 of heavy lifts like that, I'll scream "Aaarrrrrrrrrghgghghg!

Hellooooooooooo, anybody Home?
I had a wonderful workout. Went & played 1/2 a round with my pops. Shot a 68. I suck, but it was good fun & fresh air.
Haven't worked out in a coupla days. Wifey's feeling neglected, so I been enjoying her company.
Went for a bike ride yesterday, was good. Gotta get a coupla good worjouts in before my trip to the OR on Monday.

So how you all doin?

Haha. Im still here. Been posting on everybody elses journal.

I lifted today, Bench and some tri.

Bench still at 225. But got out 2 reps. Funny I can get 215 like 7 times. Its wierd my chest just does not want to get bigger.... and its not big. Well still plenty of time to work on it. Tommarow I am going out on the boat. Prob have a couple beers. Nothing to crazy. I need sleep. Feeling good though. Although I might have strained my right calf, My fault I havent done them in awhile because they are large and then went all out on some raises. Stupid me.

My bench is like that, too. Can't get it to go higher.

I do that with my calves, but I tend to strain it lower, in the ankle.

You gotta get your sleep, man (says the pot to the kettle). That's one of my biggest problems. Too much to do in so little time.

Hidngod, good luck with the Opperation! Best Wishes.

Hey Hick, Stuck at 225x3? Every try some bands? Ever Try NOT maxxing?

My problem with getting stuck at a weight is basically i was going for a max weekly, on the SAME TYPE OF LIFT. Instead of maxxing on the flat bench all the time, MAX on the incline bench for a week or 2, then jump back to maxing on the FLAT.

Flat benching activates more Tricep then chest. Try some JM presses, or Close Grip Benching to blow them triceps up.

I was stuck(and still am) stuck at 225x3 (but this was before i started the 5x5 and got out of my old idea of training)

I also am lucky enough to have bands at my gym, so when i plateu, i can easily hook some bands up and im good to go.

BUT YEA HICK, if your going for your max weekly its not gonna happen, im telling u from first hand expierence, Start seeing your max on incline dumbells Get them stabilzation muscles real strong too.

But i think the excercises that MOST HELPED MY BENCH: DIPS/CloseGrip & JM Press benching. Get your dips up bro, I want u to do BW + 90 for 5.

Dipping is very good since u move your body through space instead of a bar, so it activates alot more muscle groups. Just some tips for ya hick.
