[DOMS]

Nice job, man! I'm sure you'll hit 365 soon!

 

[Triple Threat]

You're totaling almost 1300 lb now.

 

[soxmuscle]

Any reason as to why you're doing only Squats, then only Bench Press, etc.

Perhaps I just missed the post where you detailed your routine..

 

[JerseyDevil]

Great progress Arch!

You're gaining on me, Arch.

Don't worry, you'll get 500. It took me a few weeks of trying 500 before it finally went. Not to mention that 475 was already a PR and then you try to beat it by 25 lbs.

 

[Stewart14]

Yes Sir, just started a while back (in February I think) and am TRYING to get stronger LOL!!! I honestly don't think I'll be ready for a meet for about 6 more months or so!!!

Does it matter if I think you are ready??

what do we have here, let's see:
bench 350
squat 450 was it?
deads 500 (you got it man)

so that's 1300 total at what weight, you are like 215ish? Now that probably isn't going to win any competition, but damn, you would do pretty well, plus, you would get loads of experience doing it and it would help you for when you are "truly" ready.

I say find the next one local to you, and just enter it and kick some ass, see what happens!

 

[Triple Threat]

I think Arch said he was in the low 240's, which would still give him better than 5xBW.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, it's never been a goal to win, I honestly just enjoy the competitive part, ya know???

Your absolutly right, just weighed this morning, 241!!! Looking to drop to close to 225 or so!!!

 

[Stewart14]

Damn, I didn't realize you weigh so much.....is that a lean 241, I'm not talking bodybuilding show ripped lean, but respectably lean?

you are like me, right now I am at 225, would love to get to a rock solid 200, but I gotta be honest, I love eating waaaay too much, plus whenever I go longer than 2 1/2 hours without eating, I get headaches, no shit. Actually if someone knows what the hell that is all about, I am all ears, but for now, I just put something down to satisfy myself. But, I figure I gotta be around 12-15% BF, which all things considered, I can live with.

 

[JerseyDevil]

Your numbers look great Arch. You are WAY too modest.

Have you had your blood sugar levels tested?

 

[Stewart14]

Have you had your blood sugar levels tested?

no, what are you thinking could be wrong?

 

[DOMS]

no, what are you thinking could be wrong?

Lower blood sugar. I'm not talking about diabetes. You can suffer from low blood sugar without being diabetic. I'm assuming that your diet is fairly clean of processed sugar. Which would mean that your blood sugar levels are fairly constant on the low side. Any extended period could trigger a low blood sugar reaction.

Headaches are one of the signs of low blood sugar.

This sort of problem is quite common.

Thanks!!!
Just teasin, I just took my BF% the other day, It read 17% so I'm not lean, but not overboard either!!! I really want to cut some weight here, and when I do the % of the max #'s I finish with, I think that will be a good time to cut back!!! I get headaches too, but not every time!!! I eat every 2-3 hours myself, and if I don't eat, I do get irritable, LOL!!!

Thank you SO much my Friend, always appreciate the encouragement!!!
