I dont see to many people on here with the rowing strength of me. You are the closest I have saw! Nice work Repro.....I am impressed!

**Gazhole** · 06-21-2007, 12:52 AM

I think you guys should have a Row-off.

Thats not as gay as it sounds.

DB Rows look impressive. Any higher than that will be considered elite in my book. Always cool to try a workout when youre fresh for a difference.

Thanks guys. It's amazing what you can lift when you are forced to. The only shitty part is I could easily have done the 3 sets without straps with my right arm, but I could hardly pick the DB's up with my left arm after the first set. All those years of bowling showing its face around the weight room.

Ah, youre left arm sucks too eh? I almost dropped my 110s on the 2nd set with my left hand.

Yeah, I gotta do something to fix that, it's annoying.

**Gazhole** · 06-21-2007, 06:40 AM

More grip training for the left hand perhaps?

What is it with me and the innuendos lately...

Double D · 06-21-2007, 11:34 PM

A month of hard grip work and you will never know the difference.

Thursday 6/21/07

- stretch
- 15 minutes elliptical
- 30 minutes stairmill lvl 7 intervals

Friday 6/22/07

Cheat meal for lunch:
- Mango Chicken Habanero Wrap
- Muscle Blaster Smoothie

Fucking awesome.

ReproMan · 06-22-2007, 05:12 PM

Friday 6/22/07

- stretch

Squats: (4 min RI's)
45 - 12
135 - 8
225 - 5
245 - 3
265 - 3
285 - 3
305 - 2
315 - 2 PR

Pullthroughs: (90 sec RI's)
150 - 8,8,8

Lying Leg Curls: (75 sec RI's)
125 - 8,8,7

Pretty amazing what a good diet will do for ya. I'm basically getting beginner gains right now and it's awesome. I didn't even get 4 hours of sleep last night and I still rocked it today.

The second rep of 315 was fucking tough. I could have lifted 320 for a single no doubt, but my philosophy is don't lift past a PR, that's what next week is for. I always squat high bar as well and today I had the bar lower than I ever have before, felt awkward but didn't hurt my performance in the least. I can finally say I squat more than I bench which is major stokage. Knees are getting a little tender from the combo of cardio and heavy squats, so no stairmill this weekend.

**Gazhole** · 06-22-2007, 05:44 PM

Excellent progress, man!

Thats brilliant news about the knees holding out too, good call on holding back the stairmill. You gotta be smart, yo'!

Thank you sir. Feeling fantastic!

AKIRA · 06-22-2007, 09:51 PM

Yeah it feels good to have 3 plates on each side. I wonder if Ill see those days again.

Good lifts.

Hell yeah it does, accidently hitting the fixed safeties on the squat rack because I went so low feels good too. Thanks.

ReproMan · 06-25-2007, 04:44 PM

Monday 6/25/07

- stretch

RDL's (2 min RI's)
45 - 12
135 - 12
225 - 8
315 (w/straps) - 8,8,6

Double D · 06-25-2007, 11:18 PM

So far so good. I never expected to get stronger which I seem to be, and I'm losing weight and belly fat so things are right on schedule.

**Gazhole** · 06-26-2007, 06:00 AM

Thats pretty awesome if you can lose some fat AND get stronger at the same time. Thats some mental focus right there
