Chump Change

Saturday Fever · 07-12-2004, 05:04 PM

Thanks, Dan.

I weighed in at 211. I really don't feel like losing weight. Luckily nothing is official until November. I may change my mind and be a 220. It'll be hard to total elite that way, though.

**P-funk** · 07-12-2004, 05:24 PM

How light are you trying to get for your competition in Nov.? The 220lb class would probably be pretty tough, huh?

Saturday Fever · 07-12-2004, 05:33 PM

I would like to weigh 198 on the button. But I don't care to lose 10ish pounds at the moment, so I figure I'll just do what I do and if I stick with my 198 idea, I'll crash diet sometime. I don't know, frustrating stuff.

The 220 class would be rough. I'm thinking I can get a 1600 total, and that's much lower on the scale as a 220 than if I were a 198.

**P-funk** · 07-12-2004, 05:36 PM

Yeah, my freind competed at 220....It can be a tough class. You would do well at 198. You could probably crash diet the week out and drop water, although he what he would always do was give himself an enema because he said that if he dropped water and crashed dieted he may lose some strength but everyone has about 10lbs of shit they can get rid of that wont impact his energy level.

Man that sounds scary. It shouldn't but it does.

Holy shit! Literally...

sftwrngnr · 07-12-2004, 06:20 PM

Hey SF,
I actually am thinking that I should drop down to 198 to be competitive. Realistically, I've got a decent amount of fat to lose around my tummy (joys of a software engineer and having a desk job). Its weird I tell ya... legs, chest and arms are muscular, and low bf... tummy is NOT. I'm going to pay attention to how my change in diet impacts my strength. Thus far, no difference. Felt strong yesterday -- 495 came up about has hard as it did when I left on vacation. I am hoping to get 505 next week.

As always, keep my posted, and keep up the great work.

Bench Assistance Day

Mixed my order up.

Bench of Death
135x76

Uprights
4 sets of 6 with 105

Front Raise
3 sets of 4 with 30

DB Rows
3 sets of 8 with 100

Was going to do triceps but I was dead. BoD killed me again.

Monolith · 07-13-2004, 01:14 PM

Holy shit dude, awesome BoD!

**P-funk** · 07-13-2004, 01:16 PM

Yeah, that is killer. way to go!

PreMier · 07-13-2004, 04:46 PM

Thats out of control...

Saturday Fever · 07-13-2004, 05:04 PM

Just for the sake of everyone's responses, I will define the BoD.

You start benching. When you need a break, you hold the bar at lockout. You start repping again. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I don't want to pass off that I got on the bench and ripped out 76 reps in a row, nonstop. Generally I'll hold at lockout for 10-15 seconds and start again. Eventually you just fail and you get pinned by whatever weight is on the bar. At the gym this really sucks and i embarrassing. In the dungeon you use safety pins to escape and nobody but the cat knows anything.

And I'll kill that 24 toed bitch if she says anything.

**P-funk** · 07-13-2004, 08:29 PM

right, it is like breathing squats.

Saturday Fever · 07-14-2004, 02:17 PM

Today I weighed 209.

**P-funk** · 07-14-2004, 04:58 PM

Is that good or bad? I thought you didn't want to diet anymore?

Saturday Fever · 07-14-2004, 05:22 PM

Well, it's not bad or good, really. I just randomly weigh myself. I'm not trying to drop weight, but I wouldn't complain if I magically camped at 198 either.

I feel most comfortable between 205-210, for whatever that's worth.

Damn man, 3 sets of 4 with the 30's for front raises? That bench of death must have wiped you out!

Saturday Fever · 07-14-2004, 06:16 PM

Shit yeah. Shoulders were about ready to go on strike. It's a miracle I got anything at all on the uprights.

Saturday Fever · 07-14-2004, 06:34 PM

I'm going to follow the recent trend everyone's following that MonStar started. I'm killing this journal and starting a new one. Don't post in this thread anymore or your babies will be born naked!

PreMier · 07-14-2004, 06:35 PM

I think I will post, just because it would be REALLY fuqqed up if my baby came out in a tux.

I mean...uh...I 'll stop posting here too.
