Haha my "board" is 3 inches. What I did was duct tape two books together, 1 was an inch thick and and the other was two inches. Make sure the tape job is tight and I guarentee it will work just as well as any board when you tuck it underneath your shirt. Just make sure they are hardcovers.


Check out my 315 bench vid, the program really did pay off I guess.

Board Press

225x5
255x3
285x1
305x1
330x1
345x0

Put my grip two finger widths wider on each side. Felt like a completely different exercise, seeing as this was the first time I ever did this I am impressed I was able to smoke last week's board press(285x3).

I could definitely feel a greater stress on my shoulders which I was not fond of, even though I tucked my elbows plenty. However I feel like the weight was better dirstibuted and could definitely tell I was not using my arms to muscle it up as much as with the closer grip. I worked with 225 after the board press and tried to really dial down this new grip, I think I did a good job and next workout it should feel a little more natural.


So I leave for my 58 day semester at sea in 3 days. Do you guys think my log will get closed down from inactivity since I won't be accessing it for so long? If so could you guys bump it every other week or something if it does get in danger of going down?

I dont think it will be closed down but I have your six man I will bump it just in case. Wow good luck with sea term man that sounds like so much fun! It will give me a chance to catch my lifts up to you too haha! If you arent too tired for it aboard ship you should formulate a plan for bodyweight workouts

They have a gym, I just don't know if they have barbells. The thing is I wont have alot of chances to eat during the day, it'll be a 3 square meals type a deal so I am thinking weight loss. I have no idea what I am walking into so maybe I'll get robbed of strength and muscle, or maybe the less meals and more activity will get ripped. Only time will tell.
