damm, man, even if katt and i had the time, i still dont think i would want to do all the high reps. i only like doing those on leg press to get a really good burn. great looking #s. keep up the great work.

Are you rounding your shoulders as you press up?? concentrate on keeping your shoulder blades pinched back as you press, it may help.

Ouch!!!

So i might be taking this week off now because i just dumped 225 on the ground during my workout . So i was beching like i always do by myself no spotter and i don't use clips just in case i fail so i can dump it if i need to but today for some reason my right arm went up well easier than my left and well lets just say four plates hitting the concrete floor makes your ears ring... I actually thought that i was fine untill i started to pick the weights up and between my shoulder blades just started killing me but the good news is that it is only on my right side now. I will see how it feels later and tommorrow before i make my mind up about scraching this week. I just wanted to let you all in on my stupidity so all point and laugh at me

I feel like an idiot because a i have never in my life had weights fall off the bar and because it was not like i couldnt do the weight, plus i hate it when people go up uneven benching..... im done ranting

Its not how old she is its the fact that I screwed up on Monday plus the fact that like a month ago I had 200 on the bar or 205 and I had her spotting me and the weight barely made it back to the rack... But thanks I thought it was ok I think I should have done more .... But oh well now I just have to pack up all my bow hunting gear clean the truck and start heading the opposite direction as the deer are in.....So if I don't write for a few weeks its not because I’m not lifting its because I don't have access to a computer...

Oh and I get to go to a new gym for the first time in a long time so this could be fun I have no idea what I am getting myself into here hopefully its not a quite gym not that I am loud anyways.

well...you said too....
I got stuck under the bar doing decline bench press WAY back when...after about two minutes of foolish attempts to get the bar off me...I resigned to just being stuck under the bar till someone happened to walk by. That was about 2 minutes later.
A guy was walking past...so I just kinda asked: hey....a little help here?
all been there, dun that....

burner- thanks

katt- I don’t know if it is realistic or not but when I get back to doing 15reps I want to get 225 for 2 or 3 sets...

I’m making progress in most of my lifts which is making me happy, tomorrow will be the first day in a gym that I have never seen and know nothing about so this is going to be an interesting week.

great w/o's your weights are going up very well. we just started doing the higher reps. its alittle bit of a mind set we arent used to. and about doing asnine things in the gym, its ok. awhile back katt and i were doing front squats. i had 205 on and started to have muscle failure-thats what we will call it- and i couldnt get back up, so she went to help me and we both fell backwards. a couple of guys just laughted and didnt even offer to help get the weights off of us.

good luck with the hunting. do u use a compound or a recurve?

It's okay, I still love you.

Nice job on the workout. What's your goal with the high reps?

well it was just to go down in reps untill i got to around 3 reps and start over because i dont like to do the same reps all the time but right now i am actually going to stay at the 12 rep range for a while and run like crazy because i might be at the police academy in 3 weeks and i just don't want to be the last person to pass the mile and a half run....

The best thing to improve your running is run.

I'm sure there's some methodology as far as training goes, but I don't know much about it. Do a search of the training forum. If that doesn't help, start a new thread. There are some marathoners here.
