Justin's Journal

Eggs · 02-17-2004, 08:55 PM

I was just cooking up in my quad at my university and a guy was walking by. Now of course I cook in a pair of comfortable pants. Anyways, the guy was walking by and he's like "Hey man, do you work out?" and I was like "yeah, a little"... and he says "Yeah, you look like it." So of course I'm feeling all cool and stuff... been back to lifting about a week and people tell me I look like I'm hitting the gym

So as he's walking out of the quad a bit later and I'm cleaning dishes he says "So how much can you bench" and that made me go

"Not enough! @#$!@#!@" I actually didnt cuss though

My bench is terrible, thats one of my goals, to be a big bencher one day

Rocco32 · 02-18-2004, 06:08 AM

I bet you bench more than I do Justin!

Besides, remember it's not about the weight it's about stimulating your muscles.

Eggs · 02-18-2004, 07:58 AM

I agree with Ris ... what you bench is just a number. What does it matter really. If you look in the mirror and say "I like how things are progressing" then it shouldn't matter what numbers you put up. I'm probably a minority with such thoughts ...

Eggs · 02-18-2004, 03:08 PM

Haha, nahhh, I gotcha NT.

Thanks for stopping in!

nope..it's..it's about the weight. Chicks dig big.....numbers..

Hey Justin! Man, that had to be anoying. I was afraid this story was going the way of: He was going to ask you out....
WHEW!
"Not enough"
That's my favorite answer!

Eggs · 02-18-2004, 07:54 PM

See Rock, you just need a decent training partner.

Eggs · 02-18-2004, 07:56 PM

Yeah B, I agree... well, I like big numbers, its to impress myself

You know, we all have to have our goals!

Nah, the guy didnt ask me out. Good thing, he was standing pretty close to the top of some stairs

I dont do guys asking me out... its happened a few too many times

Rocco32 · 02-18-2004, 08:07 PM

Maybe he wants to be YOUR training partner!

Eggs · 02-18-2004, 08:29 PM

Dont make me tell him where your house is!

Er, wait, you have an apartment dont you?

Looks good honey

Can a make a few suggestions though? Yes I can, you love me so I can do anything

Well, I'd take the fish oil in meal 1 and put it in meal 2, there's enough fat in meal one

And sweetie, you're bulking, you might want to add some more carbs

To gain mass you need carbs ya know

Add some oatmeal (I know you like to eat that dry, weirdo

) and some brown rice

Keep up the good work and make your girlfriend proud

Eggs · 02-19-2004, 05:13 AM

Okay honey, I''ll go get some oatmeal at Walmart

Think I might also adda little Granola post 2nd meal. Probably has some good fiber, and it has carbs in it as well.

Rocco32 · 02-19-2004, 06:18 AM

I have enough weird men stalking me buddy! You keep this one for yourself

naturaltan · 02-19-2004, 09:37 AM

Hey Rock ... I'm sorry

Justin ... what kind of numbers are you throwing around?

If it will make you feel better, I'm only pushing 245lbs

Eggs · 02-19-2004, 03:06 PM

Oh, you could probably half that for my bench NT

I really do have a weak bench... but my chest isnt that small. Its kinda strange. I think I need to work on my triceps alot more.

Whats strange is I could squat 4 plates at my max (which isnt much for alot of guys, but for me it was

) and leg press 7 plates... but my bench is just plain bad!

Eggs · 02-19-2004, 03:13 PM

Morning!
You can squat 4 plates? That's a truck lkoad! Is that a full rep? I can do a partial @ 405...but not a full rep...

no weights on your back workout, pal?
I'm doing back tonight.

Rocco32 · 02-20-2004, 07:31 AM

Yeah Justin, start throwing up some poundages for us man!

My max squat is like... well I did 175 x 8 but I don't think I had good form and it felt heavy to me. I suck at squats!

Burner02 · 02-20-2004, 07:54 AM

that's ok, rock-
just keep doing them, and pushing it with the perfect form, and they will grow!

Eggs · 02-20-2004, 01:33 PM

Mike, I'll start throwing up some poundages soon... might not be until I get back from Spring break though, just not feeling it too much.

4 plates isnt now, it was when I Was in Italy. Now I'm doing 3 plates... but it only takes me a month or two going hard to get back up to four plates so I might. 4 plates was actually for 5 or 6 reps... not sure where my journal is when I was in Italy, but its in there. These days I'm using the smith machine though as I'm doing heavier deadlifts I dont want to tweak my lower back working it so much.

Squats grow on your Rock, just keep working at them and they'll come
