yeah, 4x8 at 45lb has been a goal of mine for a long time, so I went for it today. I actually used 2 25lb plates because they are less bulky between the legs (I'm not used to having a lot of bulk down there - )

P.S. I like boobs.

Actually, if I'm lucky when you see these you won't want to see anymore.



Posted by: SamEaston

They look great!! What are you worried about?

What are your training goals now then? Looking to improve anything in particular?

And, why was the t-shirt in the way?

T-shirt? That's to cover the deformities.

As far as training goals I'd mostly just like to keep improving strength and maybe a little size. I'd mostly like to get more defined right now though.

And thanks.

Weather There is an ice storm alert for my area so if I'm gone for awhile it's because I don't have any power. We had one last year for two weeks and it was pretty bad. No on had power for three weeks, but a lot of the power lines were replaced and I don't think this one will last as long or be as bad, if it happens.

Other than that nothing to report. I'm going back to studying and after awhile I may come back and post some goals, etc.

Actually, I'm not too sore at all. And my diet has been a little off lately, but I'm still doing better than most so I won't complain. I've actually been making a healthy version of fried brown rice and eating a lot of that lately.

Neck Press Machine that is at my gym. You put your head in it and push back. Something new I thought I'd try once in awhile. Fridays I seem to try and get some accessory work done.

Nice one Vortrit! Heavy ass shrugs too!

I know what you mean about taking the holidays to get some reading done. Im doing exactly that when i go home. Mum's cooking, sitting reading by the fire up in the hills of Scotland . . . . Ahh, can't wait!

Priorities Sam. All wrong.

I intend to use the holidays to get as fucked up as possible, in as many ways as possible. The only time of year that alcoholism is acceptable....

Goob - a few years ago i would have agreed with you. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Wore the T-shirt then took all the rest of my clothes off, while standing on the nearest table, singing at the top of my lungs, swilling pints of cider and black and dancing a jig.

Yeah, the alcoholism t-shirt is a bestseller in Scotland , it just doesn't hold the same attraction and novelty for me anymore. Unfortunately my tastes are a bit more expensive now

Thanks. The last couple have been pretty weak for me due to the hand problem. Pec Dec is really new to me, so I can't get much weight out of it.

Yeah, it was a good time. Mostly just wrestling, but if I do the next one it will be wrestling, judo, boxing, etc. Thanks for the props, and the hand is getting a lot better too. Not serious, I just don't want to push it too hard.

Thanks. Routine changes are good. I'm still doing vertical/horizontal/legs, and will be for a bit longer with some changes. I'll probably go back to push/pull/legs after that. The nice thing about horizontal/vertical is the push/pull supersetting you can do. I do believe I've been told that Arnold actually did those a lot, but I'm not sure. I need to read his book someday!

No, not really. I don't even go to St. Louis that often anymore. Only if I go to a game which is rare because I've been so busy. I had a lot of family living in illinois, but most of them moved. My aunt lived in Peoria for a long time.

V - Happy holidays mate!

Looking back I wanted to offer some congrats re: PR on military press. Good job! Keep piling the weight on. You'll have shoulders like bowling balls before too long!

Also... 100 decline twisting crunches! All at once!? Steep? Full ROM? That's gotta hurt anyway!

In '08 howzabout some full-on 1RM testing? It's good to get out of your 8-10rep box every now and then. I've been doing that with all kinds of stuff recently (weighted chins, military press, bench, squat, DB press, deadlift...). It's a whole heap of fun figuring out exactly how heavy shit can get before you just can't move it. It's also strongly recommended in "Optimizing Strength Training - Designing Non-Linear Periodization Workouts" (my latest book).

And maybe some stretching? Hmm...?

And how about some bar hangs too, after heavy shrugs, squats etc. Give your back a chance to decompress after heavy loads. You'll need that back of yours, later in life.

ALL THE VERY BEST FOR THE YEAR AHEAD...

G.

G.

Yeah, these are all great points. That's funny that you mention bar hangs because I actually used to do them a lot and people would kind of look at me weird not that it matters. I'm pretty sure my rountines are 100% different from everyone eles at the gym I go to. Very valid point though, and I think I will put them back in there.

Yeah, I was trying to pick on thing and do a 1RM testing once a week, but a lot of the stuff with my periodisation has been unorganized.

It's all really solid advice. Definitely some good points.

Those crunches did hurt a little but not too bad.
