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.

RustyhookerI'm sure he's got his aches. But the things I've seen old dudes accomplish in the gym is inspiring. Old dude in every morning same as me, first started he walked like a question mark. Short wobbly strides. Now he's hauling ass in on his 10 speed and solid. Not a stick shaped question mark. Upright and pumps. Very inspiring
Been natty since March but things are definitely clicking for me lately don't know why or how but have been feeling really good for the past few months. This past Sunday I benched 365x8 on flat once I hit 10 good reps I'll try for 405. Incline dumbbells I'm finally using the 130's for working sets. Deadlift are up to 575x3 was my best ever and that was last Wednesday. Squats I'm still around 475 foe max but I like volume for squats I usually stay around 225-250 and 4 sets to absolute failure hovering around 25 reps or so. Lookin to stay natty foe the rest of the year
RustyhookerThat's huge lifts!
Awesome!
I benched 85 the other day. I don't even try so it's kind of impressive...
On a serious note my working squat (regular and sumo) weight is up to 165 (more than I weigh), hopefully I'll hit 225 next year.
Very good!
I just worked out with a dumbbell. I feel Vigorousssssss!!!
Squats widow makers 5 sets 20 225 lbs 2 min rest periods.
Right on!
270strength305 for 20reps unbroken on squats no machine straight barbell work ass to grass to
Now gonna shoot for 315 for 20
That's good work there, especially for a 190lb guy. Lot of big boys would struggle for those 20 reps. I train guys who can squat 5 or 6 plates per side but just can't handle the stress of volume squatting.
I do agree. Its definitely a feat to perform a solid heavy squat for max. It is imo so much more taxing to squat a considerable amount of weight for reps. I mean you only literally have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Humbling after such workouts...silence and exhaustion after...
270strengthThanks man your so right about volume squats they are animals,, you ever heard of this Russian squat program I'm bout to start it http://www.exrx.net/WeightTraining/Weightlifting/RussianSquatProgramGene...

Squats 225 for 6 reps...I know it's nothing for most people in here but just a couple yrs ago I couldn't lift a gallon of milk....back surgery on 3 discs lower lumbar ..takes a long time to heal up
All of our goals are individual bro. You know where you were and where you are now. Congrats on the PR.
Thank you darth....wish I would've found eroids a long time ago! ...has helped me tremendously!
don't discount your accomplishments
Thanx girl..I'm happy with what I've done! Gotta try n keep up with the mrs! She's a little beast!
yeah well we women know how to push our men ;-) ... I think Goth tore his bicep trying to keep up with me ;-)
I can feel his pain lol.....how can such a sweet caring person be so damn tough in the gym?!...I gotta get a divorce and find a woman that doesn't work out! Haha....
8 and a half pumps instead of 3, good effort, all natural no viagra!!
that the amount of sugar you put in your coffee?
Did the ol' NFL combine 225 for max reps last chest day for shits n grins. Hit 41. Damn happy with that!
That's awesome bolt.
Thanks brother...shoot now I'll try for 50 at the end of this little eq run...
I felt pretty good today. Got 365 for 5. Maybe could of got 6 but no spotter. Friend of mine got 52 reps before on 225 and dudes all natural!
Hell yea Harley! And with a tweaked shoulder. That's insane! Born powerhouse! That saying...there is always someone stronger...
Don't know bout the born powerhouse. Intermediate at best on this site. Lots of strong dudes on here, yourself included.
Referring to your all natural buddy. Not takin anything away from you though brother shit. That's what's awesome about this shit...as we progress we get stronger than our past self. I bet Harley from a couple years ago wasn't pushin 365 for 5.
May have been pushing 300 for 5 pre aas. 345 max bench. I'd like to see a scientific study done on my friend cuz his strength is off the friggin charts. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet though.
That would be a scary mix if he was a mean mofo. Hit that 6th rep no spot next time!
benched 365x2 then 385x1, I went for 405 but in my excitement I didn't wait long enough and failed. I will hit it next week for sure.
Nice work.
It has been at least two years since I tried for a new bench PR. I owe a lot to Eroids. And honestly I feel like primo has been a huge catalyst for my recent strength gains.
Not something I can do now since shoulder surgeries. Most I've even tried to push in the last three years is 5 plates a side. What's that, 465lbs I think?
Yea, that is 495, that is likely more than I am ever going to attempt. Honestly I didn't even have the 405 goal until last weekend,lol. I was conversing with a fellow gym rat and we got talking what we think the max we could realistically do would be. I felt like 375 was definitely within reach but I said maybe even 405. I blasted the 385 up pretty handily so I know it will happen. I just didn't wait long enough today for my run at it.
I don't know why but benching for me has always been unpredictable. I have days where 450 feels light and days where 300 feels heavy. Doesn't happen to the same extent with other big compound lifts, alwYs fairly consistent with what I can and can't shift.
Flat bench 405 and my weight is 185...365x5 for clean reps... None of that half way down shit neither! I give guys crap all the time in the gym when they say I can bench this and they go half way down!
I see a lot of that too
nyerk332315x 14 on the flat bench :^)
Well this morning was actually shoulder day but we all got bullshitting towards the end and I decided to see if I could best my 5 reps at 315 on the bench. I warmed up with a couple sets at 225 then took a good 3 minute rest and went for it. I knew on the first rep it felt light. I finally after the better part of a year broke through and cleared that 6th rep clean. I think I could have had seven if I hadn't started mentally celebrating,lol.
What actually started it for me this morning was some fat bastard I know posting a video on facebook of him claiming to do one rep at 315 with one of them goofy ass benching shirts. In my opinion he didn't make it and I just understand them shirts.SMH
Animal! Nice work my friend.
Thanks, I know by eroids standards it is not huge, but I can remember four or five years ago when I couldn't bench 225
