[miked8c]

Did a pyramid cheme type thing today since my gym was closed for memorial day.

1xpull ups
2x push ups
3x sit ups

So here what the beginning looked like

1 pull up
2 push ups
3 crunches

than
2 pull ups
4 push ups
6 crunches

Than
3 pull ups
6 push ups
9 crunches

I did this all the way up to 8 pulls up, no rest between any exericse.

Nice work man those pyramid things are hard if you do them with no rest they can make you puke! BTW, you are looking solid in that new profile picture!!!

 

[JDid23]

gd work. I also second tblock that you're looking good in your pic

 

[miked8c]

Thanks guys seriously. I still got some love handles to lose before lifeguarding starts though haha.

 

[JDid23]

haha i doubt many people will notice the love handles over the abs and pecs and arms

Week 9?: Tuesday

Squat
1x5 165
1x5 205
1x5 250
1x5 290
1x5 335

So 335 was a struggle, I was not in a good lifting mood when I came in so my last set of squats suffered. I think i missed parallel on a few reps, and I actually stumbled backwards from pushing of my heels too much on the third rep. You ever stumble backwards with 335 lbs. on your shoulders? it sucks. Regardless of this I still got the set .

Floor Press
1x5 135
1x5 185
1x3 205
1x3 225
1x3 225
1x8 failure 185

These made me realize how reliant my bench press is on my leg drive and form. Since this put all the weight on my upper body I struggled on weight I could easily crank out on a flat bench. I liked this though.

Rows
1x5 95
1x5 115
1x5 135
1x5 155
1x5 180

I hate rows.

Nice work! Did you pause the reps on floor press?

yeah bro... today i almost wiped out with 275 on my back!!! not 335, but for me that's the most weight i've ever used haha. Good job- might want to think about lowering the weight if you didn't even hit parallel.. definitely more prone to an injury.

I am looking forward to see how floor presses go for you..... might add them myself.

good job today.

 

[miked8c]

Thanks guys, I didnt know I was supposed to pause on the floor presses so I just pushed up once my elbows touched ground. Should I be pausing?

Damn your hella strong for being almost 18. Nice job! definitely going to join that 400 squat club and 300 bench !

have you always been lifting like squatting,deadlifting,benching since you were 13?
