Ya your bench is starting to get very respectable especially at your bodyweight.

Thanks ghetto and spektor!


Monday 2.28.11

Bench
5x2x255 PR

1 handed deadlifts (x both arms)
135x5
225x3 wore a strap from here on
275x1
315x1
355x0
315x1

DB Bench
85x8
90x5
100x6

Comments: Fantastic workout! Almost all reps on bench press felt smooth and strong. 255 is starting to feel much lighter and more manageable. I decided to start up squats and deadlifts again with 1 handed deadlifts. I wore a strap cause the goal here wasnt grip strength it was to see if I could pull the same as before. I got 315 which was my old max so thats good. DB Bench also went well considering I had already done bench and havent db benched in a while

Gotta say you got me doing planks again, haven't done those in a LONG time.

Good haha I am a huge fan of weighted planks these days. I think it is one of the best lifts for a stable, strong, and injury free core

I've recently started working in sets of push-ups and pull-ups on my calisthenics day and used to use the ab wheel for some core work, but I think I'll switch between that and the planks for a while. I've become a huge fan of weighted push-ups and pull-ups now though. Anyway, nice to see you making great progress!

Nice I love weighted bodyweight stuff too. Havent had a chance to do the weighted pushups in a bit though.

Wednesday 3.2.11

Military press
3x10x125 PR

Weighted pull ups
45x5
45x5
45x4

Comments: Okay so on this workout I was still extremely sore from doing deadlifts for the 1st time in months, and my shoulders were really sore from the heavy bench and db bench. On top of that we did PT that morning and a bunch of pushups. By the time I got to the weight room it hurt to move my arms lol. So for that military press went incredibly well

Good job bro.

I like weighted pullups but I dont feel anything from them. I never feel my lats or back involved with any back exercise I do, especially pullups, rows. Only deadlifts get my whole back sore.

Thats wierd glad, quite often I feel heavy weighted pullups more in my back than bodyweight ones. But I use a pretty differant form to tblock.

If I use a form like him then I feel nothing.

 

[the.gladiator1987]

How do you do it? I feel like I go up but its not smooth

 

[SPEKTOR-AAA]

x2 I dont get sore or anything from pullups. Im willing to bet my biggest problem is I have never been consistent with them.
