who are u talking about?

Haha yeah I actually read Tblocks description and thought "hmmm that sounds alot like me", I thought he was talking about EM though.

Quick question, when you guys post pics do you do them after a workout so that your pumped up. Because to be completely honest that pic was taken about 15 min. after a pull up/push up workout(I didnt get pumped for the pic, it was more of an afterthought). So my arms may look bigger as with my pecs, but not by much though haha.

usually my pics are in the morning before i eat, any other time and im bloated as fuck lol

Where you at with the fatgripz, block?

I'm using them twice a week for various stuff. Standing press, bb curls, reverse bb curls (holy hard as fuck), french presses, and random holds and suitcase lifts. I like them a lot so far.

And yes EM,,, my forearms are growing and my grip is getting ridiculous, you should find a UK distributor and buy some.

DB rows (super strict)
3x10xheaviest db

paused bench
1x3x205
1x2x225
1x1x245 (fucking hard lockout)

Comments: WTF! Probably worst workout of my life, so fucking pissed off. I was hoping to not lose strength from all the time off, but I did. Also I haven't benched wide grip in 3 weeks. I did some floor pressing but barely any, only a set or 2. FUCK!

Problems:
1. Bodyweight was down 193.4 post workout
--------causes---havent had a meal for 4 hours before workout
------------dehydrated, actually felt thirsty meaning 2% dehydration
2. Missing so many workouts
3. Lockout strength was shit
------------I havent done triceps work or bench accessory work in a while....bad mistake

I didnt even realize though cause I didnt feel hungry so I forgot my preworkout meal....also I didnt take much rest so that may have been a problem. The weird thing was 255x1 felt really easy? I even have a video and it shot up pretty good. This was one fucked workout though....I'll stop arking about it now though (anyone get the "arking" reference haha sorry if you are reading this ark it's just a joke: )

Mike: Hold off your laughing at my failure man I'll get you yet!


Southern: I really like the fat gripz but to be honest my training has been sporadic and shitty lately with no arm work so I havent got a chance to use them much

Sorry man I already started laughing once you told me to check your log on my log, and then again when you mentioned arking. Listen man its no big deal, I would chalk this up to just having a bad day, its happens to the best of them. I can say you probably would have had 265 in the bag had you not tried and failed at 275 twice, that'll definitely take something out of you. Also, did you just workout? I dont know what time it is where you live but its about 10:20 here, thats a little late to be lifting.

It sounds like there are alot of negative factors that could have played a role in today's workout, lifting is a lifestyle that is defined by the culmination of all your workouts, not just your good ones.

Annddddd, thats all the motivation I'm willing to give out at this moment, seriously man dont dwell on this you and I have our entire lives ahead of us to get big.

And yes EM,,, my forearms are growing and my grip is getting ridiculous, you should find a UK distributor and buy some.

I cant find anywere to buy them other than elitefts and the actual fat gripz website...

tblock i only benched 275x3 the other day and i think i only could have gotten 5, losing strength sucks

 

[Tblock1]

Mike: Thanks for the encouragement man! Did you get 300 on video for bench this weekend?

Glad: I know losing strength or muscle is a big fear of mine, when I was on a 3 days backpacking trip last week I brought a 3 pound salami stick thing and 2.5 pounds of cheese, and tried to eat as much as I could to not lose strength or weight. Me and my friend ended up each carrying 50 pounds which is ridiculous for 3 days lol!

 

[miked8c]

Dude, I decided to scrap it. I know if I do one more week of some explosive floor presses tomorow and friday I'll definitely have it next weekend, you got one week T-block.

I just realized your my only friend on this username, pathetic.
