Wait, you guys do abs?

 

planks with 45's stacked on your back, russian twists w/weight, decline sit-up w/weight and for obliques - suitcase raises.

 

No

 

Good. Me either.

 

Wow.....you only weigh 181? how tall are you?

 

5'9" or so.

 

Those 1RM numbers or repping that?

 

Hope you guys don't have this near you.
They are too good I couldn't even get a picture of it before I ate it...cheat day

 

I wish I was repping it but no those are 1rm.

 

Either way that's pretty Fin boss...and knowing your weight makes it even more impressive .

(I know your head is getting big....pop!)

 

Haha I definitely appreciate it. But I have done a few amateur raw powerlifting events. There is a local guy at 181 lbs that pause benches 350, pulls like 589, and squats like 420. So all the progress I make is kind of taken with a grain of salt because this dude is a stud. He wins outstanding lifter for the overall meet and stuff. So my goal is to compete with him but.......I'm just a little shy haha. I have paused 300 but I didn't pause my max. That kid had a video benching 295x9-10. Ouch.

 

And yes this is 100% raw where they drug test so it really is natty.

 

Need to post up you workout routine... I wanna check it out. I just got into heavy lifting maybe 8 months ago or so. I always did dumbbell type exercises and other stuff before that but I have seen some decent strengh gains but basically I started hitting plateaus and need something new to do.

 

Bench is my worse. I have been trying to get my numbers up on it and started focusing more on my bench and less on my squats and DL lately. Trying to get more chest gains cause I have never had a big or strong chest but it has been a struggle. Have had so many check my form and tried to critique me but seems to be good form so idk what's going on. Maybe just need more time and need to eat more ...idk

 

Wrong person - it was @Papa Taco but he doesn't even lift so it doesn't matter















Jk. I'm just jelly he's marrying JLaw

 

Ah, gotcha. I remember Newlife saying something about a wedding, thought it was him. I think I need to up my calories, I may not be getting enough nutrients to my brain.

 

He's getting married too. Lol

 

Morning peeps! Just wanted to update. I've been hitting the gym hard for 2 months now and I can't definitely see my gains and/or losses. Clothes just fit differently now. It's great to see an improvement no matter how big or small at this point. The love handles have diminished significantly and I can feel the gains in my pecs and biceps. I take a multi and fish oil everyday as well as a morning whey and post work out whey. Hardest part is continuing to work on my diet.

Thanks for support guys.
