Chest / bi's July 5, 2004

Bench press
155 x 10
210 x 8
230 x 6
245 x 4
155 x 10
More like it ! Last time I got stuck on the last rep on set 3 and had to do 2+2 on set 4 to get my 4 reps. Got it done right this time !

Dips
me x 10
me +20 x 8
me +30 x 6
me + 40 x 4
Me x 12

cable curls
55 x 10
65 x 8
75 x 6
80 x 4
55 x 15

D.b. concentration curls
25 x 10
30 x 8
35 x 6
40 x 4
20 x 15

Notes: Going for my 250 x 4 bench next wo, If I get it I will switch to incline bench for awhile for a change of pace. If not i will try again next time. But as soon as I hit 250 x 4 i will change over to incline.
I do need to replace D.b concentration curls though, been doing those for too long. Maybe Incline db curls.

Also after this bulk ends in 3 weeks I will take a week off andthen do an 8 week cut, instead of my usual 12 week. to knock off some of the fat I have gained. then I will probaly do a 8 week leg priority wo/bulk ,take a week off and start my final cut . the one that will reveal the amazing abs I am building for my 50th birthday. LOL Should be able to get that done in 16 weeks.

Any 'special treats' eaten on the 4th of july??? Have you tried those frozen coffees from DQ, they are new. I havent, they are like 600 cals each.(ya Im a losser, I looked up the macros on the net). Have you seen the commercial where the lady falls into the blinds??? I cant stop laughing its soooooooo funny.

Hi Honey !

Wow you make me blush with all those compliments. You're a sweetheart !

My 50th B-day is April 16. I hope to have some pics taken by a professsional photog for the occassion. Debbie is kind of leary of that because the local photog is an attractive lady and I was planning on a few "provocative" poses ! LOL Plus the photog likes to put copies of the pics she takes in her display window and Debbie says she doesn't want everybody in town to know what she has at home . Small town of about 1000 people.

Yeah I just saw that DQ commercial ! But I don't think I'll try one . just doesn't sound to good to me. I 'll stick to banana splits and malts and pizzas and ...No special treats on the 4th.

And I am so proud of you ! You have been doing so great ! You will need a new wardrobe soon and I know you love to shop !

Awesome job on the Bench Press! You've surpassed me quickly. You've really gone up in weight!! I think Incline DB Curls are a good choice, that's my favorite bicep exercise. I like the Incline to be low so my arms really stretch at the bottom!



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

BTW you are STRONG!!! I love strong men....

Hi Cyndi,
I kneel when I do the cable crunches. I will try seated sometime and see what happens. Thanks for the compliment !
You are strong too. What are you up to on your bench ?
