My biggest thing is I took something like 2 years off. Got fat and lost all strength. While it didnt take very long to get it back, I couldve done some major ass kickin in that time. I think I got up to 245lbs!!!! I did absolutly nothing, but go to work and come home, pop open a beer and watch sportcenter. My softball game was lacking. I was 245 and had no power and was slow. Now that was embarrasing. I think I lost about 50lbs in about 3 months. Now that was some fast losing, but I didnt care I didnt want to be a lardass anymore! So I think that really zapped my strength. I got down to about 195. And went from there. I was barely benching 250 after all of that. SO I would say the past few years have been good to me. The most I have ever benched was 365 about 5 years ago, whenever I was 20. So I have did nothing, but take steps back!

His bench is only around 280! Weighs about 200lbs. Squats about 400. All this at about 9% bf. Now that part makes me mad, fuckin guy and his low bf. He is a mesomorph by every part of the word. Maybe a little ecto since he has such a hard time keeping bf.

Sounds similar to me at 200 9% except i'll be deadlifting 650 benching 203 and squating 420. My chest will be big to lol.

Malley · 01-11-2007, 01:06 PM

Hes a good size guy, and hes about 3 years younger than me. I think hes 21.

Pylon · 01-11-2007, 07:46 PM

Sweet Aunt Jemima! Did you do all those dips as one set? Well done indeed!

Burner02 · 01-11-2007, 10:59 PM

you and stew trying to take all the PR's for rows????

Malley · 01-12-2007, 05:50 AM

Pylon Ya those were all in one set. This was to failure however. My buddy said he counted more like 43, but whenever the reps get that high it really doesnt matter. I am very good at dips. I have alot of strength doing those. I need to buy me a dip belt to see what I can really do.

Burner It is the most I have DB rowed. It was extremely heavy, but I think I could have went a little heavier. Hell I did get 6 reps out of it. While they werent the most strict 6, they were a good solid 6. And I am very pleased with this.

So today my chest is very sore along with my upper back. I love westside, I think my body was waiting to come back to this. I think I will see an increase in bench again. This time around I am going to work alot harder on the lower part of westside. I didnt miss a workout on the lower last time, however I did get lazy and didnt go balls to the wall each time. Expect more out of me this time around.

Malley · 01-12-2007, 05:50 AM

Gotta go to work, will post more later. Oh on another note my wife is preganant for sure.

Pylon · 01-12-2007, 06:24 AM

If you really want a challenge, try holding a heavy DB between your feet instead of using a belt. Turns it up another notch.

Congrats on the new addition!

Jesus who let you out of your iron cage? 40 rep dips i dont think i could matain the focus to do more than 10 with my ADD. You may wanna think about doing 10 reps on your bench and doing 3 rep chins for 3 weeks i bet yoru bench will go up 10-20 pounds.

CONGRATS Brother D2, Best Wishes to you and yours my Friend!!!

Malley · 01-13-2007, 04:53 AM

Thank you everyone. I cant hardly wait to get he/she here. I have 2 girls now so a boy would be great, however it really isnt a big deal either way. I just hope he/shes healthy!

Hey Brutus why do you think that?

Hey Brutus why do you think that?

Cause for 3 weeks i didn't bench then for 3 weeks i did heavy chins and just did 10-12 reps on bench and my bench is up 10 pounds and i suck at benching so you could probably get 20 pounds from that. Plus most people dont have structural balance when it comes to upper body pulling and pushing.

Malley · 01-14-2007, 04:56 PM

I have went back to westside and todays workout was:

Dynamic effort lower

Speed Squats
225x2 (10 sets)

SLDL
275x10
315x6
325x6 PR

Lunges
90lb DB'sx10 (for 2 sets)

Hypers
bw+90x10 (3 sets) PR

1-Legged Extensions
100x10 (2 sets)

Workout time-40 minutes

I am making progress, I thought the SLDL, was pretty good. The lockout was a basturd. And the hypers are easily the heaviest weight as well that I have used.

Pylon · 01-14-2007, 08:52 PM

Nice work, Dub. keep this up and they will have to jack your membership rates. You'll be lifting more plates than they have, and they'll need to invest in new ones!

Burner02 · 01-15-2007, 12:22 AM

congrats on the SLDL PR, brotha! How far bent are your knees?

Brutus_G · 01-15-2007, 06:16 AM

Nice Prs D. That must've been sick using 90 pounds on the hypers.
