Or whatever accomplishments, it's all good. Today after 6 weeks of working at it I hit 4x10 doing body weight skull crushers. Next goal will be 4x10 elevated. That is my new favorite tricep exercise bar none.

Awesome lifts brother! Especially at 190lbs bodyweight. I thought I was doing good with a 225 overhead press yesterday. Clean and jerk is a whole other animal though. I don't think I could clean the 225.
Well just hit a long time goal of mine, 365 pounds on close grip bench press. Super happy I finally nailed it.
Very nice brother! I think my wrists would have snapped.
Thanks bro, I wear wrist straps tight as he'll doing those close grip.
RustyhookerThats beast mode!
Thanks rusty:)
Awesome work! Now that you're there...you will surpass it! Onward and upward!
Hopefully, would be nice to hit 405. Slowly but surely I'll try and hit that.
4 times in one day with the Mrs. I think that deca thing must be a myth.
Rustyhooker^^^^^^high five!!
Haha cant be mad at that pr!
Well.. this is a biggie for me.
12mths to the day since i smoked a cigarette.
Wow! Congratulations brother Vike! What an accomplishment! Studies show that nicotine is more addictive than heroin! Much heartfelt respect brother! I've struggled with this addiction since adolescence, so I can relate all to well! Kudos for your steadfast determination and victory in the face of some insurmountable odds!
Habit I can't kick... I'm down to 2-3 a day though
Try vaping bro thats what got me through hard days, then will power took over and i said to myself no fkn way will i pick up another ciggie..... i feel strong now that i have broken the habit so no way going back bro... i had serious sinus problems and thats all cleared up now so its been well worth the effort... car smells nice too instead of stinking like an ashtray lmao!
I'm still vapeing.
Well done. Smoking is one of those things you'll only stop if you really want to.
There's an old scientific experiment about nicotine. If you put an intravenous line into a rat and connect it to a pressure pad trigger, the rat learns quickly that stepping on the pressure pad gives them a hit of the drug that the IV live is connected to. Any drug, alcohol, cocaine, opiates, the rest ultimately will self overdose due to the euphoria and kill itself. Nicotine, it only does it once, never touched it again.
Says a lot about nicotine.....
They did another experiment with nicotine and mice, had a set upn where the nicotine was in the water bottle on the other end of cage with a electric board in between that couldn't be jumped across. Along with regular water on their side as well. Slowly increasing the electric shock to see at what point they stopped wanting to get electrocuted for nicotine. Well needless to say they went across that board even when it had enough juice to melt their feet off and only stopped when it finally killed them from the electricity being up to a lethal strength. They committed suicide for nicotine. I know its hard I quit about 5 months ago. My 2nd time quitting first time lasted a couple years. And I've been smoking about 6 years this go around. Don't plan on starting again
Wow.....
i have never done cannabis never mind anything stronger! that shit just never appealed to me, used to drink beer when i was younger but i cannot think when or give you a time when i last had any alcohol its just so long ago
You know brother that is a huge PR and it will certainly prolong your life. I wish my father had had the fortitude to quit, he may have still been here if he had. My sincerest congratulations brother..
Thanks bro.... i bet you remember last year when i told you i was planning to have a go at quitting..... gone real fast and it has been surprisingly easy.
That is because you are Viking Evolution...
yeah evolved from village burning, maiden raping, horned helmet idiot into a civilised, think before i act MoFo.............. lmao!
Off the fags huh? ;-)
That's one hell of an accomplishment. Nicotine is a bear to kick. Props to you!
Yeah.. smoked since i was 14 brother so it is a biggie im well chuffed
After reading alot of these older mens PR at twice my age it kinda makes me feel puny lol Im pressing 365 and alot of you are reppin that shit out so kudos to all of you lol. All this means is I gotta quit focusing on maintaining and focus on growing and improving.
365 at your age is awesome brother. I think my max at your age was 305.
Thanks brother I appreciate the kind words. I was a football player so powerlifting was my thing until I gained that freshman 50 hahaha beer and girls play a role but now Im back on the diet like never before and these guys dont lie when they say diet is EVERYTHING. id take juice n get big and strong but nothing major until the diet got dialed in then the weight falls off and the muscles pop
My warm up set for incline dumbbell presses are up to 115s for 16s+ than my 3 working sets.
Careful warming up too heavy. Shredded my pec warming up with 225 on bench instead of the 135 I had been doing for years. Ego got the best of me.
It is not my first exercise so im proper warm. I warm up with my cable cross overs. I'm not a big fan of barbell bench cause if your going to get injured in the gym it will be doing barbell pressing movements.
RustyhookerDamn! That's awesome!
RustyhookerMy shoulders, back and arms outgrew my work shirts 3 months ago. Now wearing a 2xl. I'm only 5-4 so it's a big hurdle for me
So that's what?.... M in adult?
Lol, sorry man I had to. Haven't busted your balls in a while. ;)
RustyhookerI pulled the Ducks and bunnies off the collar. Lmao!!!
LOL!
I currently do not own a button down shirt that fits.
RustyhookerGuys like you and Bolt need custom cuts. I look like I stole granmas shirt. Lol
Still trying to fill out though.
I just need to make a trip to mens wearhouse again and get fitted. Between my neck and back,,if i accidentally flex my lats pow! buttons or seams are going down,lol
Definitely has to be fitted! Button ups are straight jackets otherwise lol
RustyhookerOld shirt I couldn't hold both hands on my work truck. Caused claustrophobic feeling. Crappy part is it looks Hella long. Lol
Better than it looking like a crop top lol
RustyhookerHahaha! True that I
The shirts dont lie! 2X is a common size here in America but not usually due to being yolked up. Good shit brother!
RustyhookerStill pushing hard. I hope to be that buffed up Granpa when I'm old.
lol... im a Granpa to five of them now bro.................. dont remind me how old i am :(
The youngest is 33mths old and he can hit the compulsory poses already hahahah......
RustyhookerOur oldest is turning 20, youngest is a 15. Hoping it's quite some time before I'm baby sitting again. Lol.
I have 5 as well. My oldest grandson will mimic me walking into a room. He will walk like he has a lat spread and will say boom every time he puts his foot down when taking a step. Too funny to watch
Hahaha... sounds great brother, i cant wait until he is a bit older then he can watch and understand his grandma SuzyB doing her thing on the millions of DVDs we have... that should blow his little mind lol
I remember small talk in the elevator at the Dr. with a much older man in fantastic shape. He obviously still lifted and exercised. It made me wonder. At 36 I have aches and pains. This guy 25-30 years older must have PAIN yet he's still pushin weight! So on his behalf I'm inducting that grandpa in here.
