the.gladiator1987's 12 week 5x5 log

His chest is so big, he's hardly going past 90* at the elbows.

lol I know. I would personally like to see his form a bit tighter so his benching is stricter, but to be able to throw 405 up like that..goddamn.

I can do about 50lbs more on my bench just going to 90*s. 90* might be the answer for me considering my one shoulder is fuked.

Careful though. A bunch of guys at my gym started doing that and after a while of only going 90 degrees you big time lose strength off the bottom. You might try 3 weeks 90 degrees, 3 weeks full reps though,. Could help you break through any plateaus and give your shoulders a rest.

I 3rd degree separated my one shoulder doing judo and never had surgery on it. Thats why its tweaked. The wait period was to long, I would of been in a sling for a year. So I just started to do some rehab work on it. But I never gained all my strength and have lost some flexibility.

Did you notice your blood pressure going up during cycles?

Only when I took ephedrine and caffeine. My BP was normal the whole cycle other than taking that for 3 days

This is the best bench video Iv ever seen, if you notice he has no arch in his back like most powerlifters and he doesnt use leg drive. Both of those techniques really push the bench numbers up and thats why all powerlifters use it. He is only wearing a t-shirt and wrist wraps. He also does very controlled reps and slow negatives and they dont seem to be max effort sets! I was just speechless when I saw it! Theres a pic of him at the end of the video and the guy is jacked, I would love to be like him!



I might post this up as a topic on the weightlifting forum...
