So had something kinda weird happen today... Was doing some cleans and my left wrist just kinda went full retard on me and couldnt get the bar flipped. I was kinda miffed bc it wasnt very heavy and i hadnt done very many. Grabbed a 5lb plate and rolled it around for a min and back to normal. I guess i need to start using gloves with alittle wrist support. Didnt feel any pain or anything and its not sore....

 

my bench fucking blows......

 

I was stuck below 200 lbs for a long time...until I told myself that I would put up 225, so I put 225 on there and got a spotter and put it up. Then I 1RM'd at 235..mind over matter.

 

i wish i was even close to that....did 2x10 of 135lbs, put on 155lbs and did 5 tough reps and on the next set did 4 and almost couldn't get the 5th one up

this time last year i was doing 10 reps of 185lbs

 

IF you are going for strength, stick with 2-4 reps on heavy weights. train your CNS before your muscles. also like kodiak said mind over matter you are not gonna find your limit with out failing.

 

And failing is ok.

 

Because we've all been that guy, crying on the bench with the bar on our ribs unable to get it back in the rack because uncle touched me one time....



Right?

 

^this, i fucking ate shit in the cage doing squats so many time going for PRs, and people in the gym are still mirin

 

Btw Rack pull is a good ass back exercise if you go heavy as balls. my whole back is sore and pumped to the max from my back day 3 days ago

 

Not sure about you but...me? No.

 

Not a fan of rack pulls unless I'm going for heavy shrugs, then I incorporate both.

 

did he at least buy you an authentic Hawaiian pizza (canadian bacon and pineapple) from domino's before?

 

I know its time to move on to the next lift when I fail at finishing a set twice

 

weighted myself empty stomach today, 265lbs 2 month ago before my shanghai trip 260lbs. not bad only gained 5lbs in 2 month, consider i did't really workout and ate FUCKload of food lol

 

Just don't eat like that forever
