Deadlifting my way to Happiness - Al420's log

Nice deadlifting, Al.

The close-grip on bench, even if you only use it for a few months, really hammers home to technique for everybody for some reason.

It's the fucking bench - Sarge can feel me. When your pulling and squatting decent weights then benching like a one armed girlie man it is frustrating. There are some punny fucks at the gym that can out bench me - they have no clue where the bottom of a squat is, but still......
I just need to train the lift harder but my damn shoulder is preventing it. To be honest I hate benching b/c of how weak I percieve myself - only room to improve is what I have to remember.

Don't worry about anyone else while your there.

You're there to bench. Every week you progress while you see those same kids coming in and doing 1/2 reps with weight on the bench using wide ass grip.

Screw 'em... you'll have a bigger bench, as will I. I'm looking forward to 225 in a few weeks hopefully.

hey I need some pics. Get your wife or whoever to take from foot up front, back, and both sides. I have your first pics I already see discrepancies in them before you even started lifting heavy. I'm working on the rest.....

Count on it - I'll PM you tomorrow hopefully

Shit, I very rarley see ANYONE benching properly. All the gym rats I see doing it stop one-two inches from their chest and don't even take a split second to pause, go right back at it. I used to do that, I changed my form and my bench went from 185 back down to 155. It's back to 185 now but it took me about 3 and a half weeks.

I'd rather do it like a man and feel like a bitch with the numbers, then to do it like a bitch to feel like a man. Numbers will come.

The best part of my lifting yesterday was the shirt FF and his wife made me for my birthday -

Your next pic update must include one of the shirt...

Also, sounds like another candidate phrase/design for an mm107 PL competition shirt...
