Few pics of bearrito...I swear he is looking bigger. Goal is for him to weigh 250 by December...or close to it. I think he wants to deadlift 500 by then also...

Enjoy...and bearrito...post your numbers man....they are pretty close to mine...

nice spotting job on bearritos missed attempt.

How's your clean and jerk coming along? I was thinking, maybe you could try doing them with a mini band strapped to your feet and the bar. maybe that would help alot with the jerk part of it.

Also, do you always go that close on speed benches?

I wish I could train with you guys, but I live in Oklahoma. I love the setup and the music!!! Awesome videos. . . two big boys training.

Bands tear up my tendons and joints on pressing movements anyway...this session reminded me why I didn't use them anymore...lol. I used to use them on my overhead pressing movements and they only seemed to cause shoulder twinges and injuries...

My widest grip on speed bench is pinky on the ring which is fairly narrow for my size. I work till my pointer is on the smooth then back out again... Triceps are more important than pecs to me...

I am also quite sore after that workout! The chest and shoulders are feeling it. Hope you all enjoyed watching me missing that third rep with 348 on 4 board presses! That's two weeks in a row now that I've done that. I guess I just don't know when to quit. My sets/reps/weight used was similar to b folds. Mine went a little like this
