Double D · 07-23-2007, 01:32 PM

I would let you sit on the pedastal with me.

Double D · 07-23-2007, 02:20 PM

The pedstal is not big enough for the two of you.....

Double D · 07-23-2007, 02:32 PM

From the photo Stew put up its definitly not big enough for those triceps!

Stewart14 · 07-23-2007, 02:37 PM

ok, well I got big arms and can press a lot of weight, that's cool, but I can't squat for shit! Pulls are coming along nicely though, but I mentioned in YMs journal that I weighed in a 214.5 this morning, so I am down about 10 pounds from that picture. I am not really on a cutting diet or anything, I am just being a little more selective with what I eat I guess, and with the summer heat and being generally more active, I guess it's easy to drop some pounds. I will probably put it back once the weather gets colder, or if I keep my quest for 405 going, I may eat it all back anyway...it's hard to max out without calories!

Double D · 07-23-2007, 02:41 PM

Haha....I am at 205 right now. The summer always takes it off of me. I dont like the winter though. If I lived in Florida I would probably walk around at 190 or so all the time!

Your still big, shut your mouth.

AKIRA · 07-23-2007, 03:02 PM

I wonder ho wmuch Id have to lose ot meet my goal...Im down to 213.

what is your goal?

AKIRA · 07-23-2007, 05:33 PM

To have a visible six pack without flexing. Since I dont know what BF % that will be, I cant really make a goal.

There are only guesstimations.

Edit..come to think of it, I dont know whats more rare for a GYM RAT. Having someone having visible abs or benching 405lbs...

Double D · 07-23-2007, 05:37 PM

Easily someone who can bench 405 is much more rare! What would be super impressive would be someone who benches 405 and a 6 pack!

I'm sure I could bench a 6 pack. Now to work on the 405 part.

Double D · 07-23-2007, 06:38 PM

I got a laugh out of that one!

Stewart14 · 07-23-2007, 06:49 PM

thats what i will do....when i get there, i will bench 405 AND a 6 pack, and then proceed to drink the 6 pack when I am done. There, that is good.

AKIRA · 07-23-2007, 09:33 PM

Youre making me want to start a new thread. Its just a fun ponderment.

Double D · 07-23-2007, 09:44 PM

It is isnt it. My lifts have stalled and I need something new....I am thinking about it as well

BLACK747 · 07-23-2007, 09:54 PM

how often do you bench once a week my advice to you is take a week off from benching and then go and bench and that way you can see your true 1rm and work from there oh and start doing partials and force reps peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stewart14 · 07-24-2007, 01:39 PM

July 24

Low End Bench Day*

Paused Bench Press
275 x 5
285 x 5
Full "1 mississippi" pause on the chest for these.

Hammer Grip DB Press
115 x 8
115 x 7

Chest Supported Rows
170 x 8
170 x 6
170 x 6

Done. Working on about an hour of sleep last night, my 9 month old son is sick and was up all night crying

.

*After doing some research, I am gonna stray away from Westside for now on my journey to 405. Goal is still the same, just trying another route to get there. Going to set my weeks up like this:
Sunday--deadlift day
Tuesday--low end bench day
Wednesday--Squat day
Friday--High end bench day
Don't know what exactly I will use each day for exercises, but obviously deadlift day will be a deadlift variation for 2 sets of 5 followed by accessory stuff. Each other day will follow a similar pattern. I will probably go for a max on the big 3 maybe every 3 or 4 weeks to gauge progress.

Stewart14 · 07-25-2007, 03:58 PM

July 25

Squat Day

Paused ATG Squats
255 x 5
255 x 5
*Full "1 mississippi" count in the hole.

Leverage Squats
320 x 15

GHR
BW x 10
BW x 10

Burner02 · 07-25-2007, 04:14 PM

just got all caught up...wow...stew...you ANIMAL! Good luck on the goal!

Double D · 07-25-2007, 04:47 PM

Nice numbers like always......you beast!

Archangel · 07-25-2007, 05:02 PM

Beast is right, Excellent w/o's Brother 20!!!

Stewart14 · 07-25-2007, 05:44 PM

thanks guys, but I've got a ways to go before I catch DD and Archie on the squats. Maybe with benching you can get away with beast ,but not on the leg stuff
