Out of the hadful of people Iāve seen legitimately bench that kind of weight, your form is by far the cleanest. That is insanely impressive.

believe it or not this makes me feel better about how iām approaching my training now as i do sort of the same stuff(not the weight and reps you do but close). i have a question about the 20x reps on warmupsā¦does that work better for you to get warm? year before tiny meeker suggested a different method of warming up and iām always lookin for better ways.

Back/Biceps Heavy 9/29/10
I usually start with weighted pull ups I have noticed if you do pull ups first when you do row movements you only lose a couple reps but if you do a heavy rows first unless your a mutant your gonna lose alot more than a couple reps on pull ups
If there are dumbbells heavy enough I love single dumbbell arm rows but unfortunately the gym I was at only go 125
Back
Pull ups: 2x15 body weight 90lbs added 1x8 1x6 45lbs added 1x10
Hammer Strength High Row: My absolute favorite machine 3 plates 1x20 5 plates 1x10 6 plates 1x6 last set 6 plates 1x5 strip to 4 plates immediately 1x10 strip to 2 plates 1x20
T-bar rows: 5 plates 1x12 8 plates 2x8
Machine Row: start with rack 15 reps lower by 1/3 15 reps lower 1/3 15 reps
Standing Cable Pullovers: 3x15 I like to use a rotating lat bar most rotate so its not a problem
Biceps
Dumbbells Hammer curls: 30 pounds 1x25 75 pounds 2x10 85 pounds 1x6
drop set 85 1x3 65 1x8 40 1x10 25 1x20
Cable curls : rack plus plate 2x12
last set rack plus plate 1x8 take off plate 1x8 cut stack in half 1x20

you may have answer a problem i have with back work. though i feel your pain on doin dbs rows so i have to settle for barbell rows. i may up the back work as i only do 2 movements and really donāt feel it at all even with heavy rows. youāve giving me a lot to considerā¦

I am 5ā11 285
As far as my light dayās I still do same basic movements for example back I always do a minimum of one row movement one pull up exercise and one reverse fly. Rep range on light days 10-15 range some sets I even go as high as 25. I Have a rotation of a group of exercises I like and based on how I feel or whats available I just do it. I go to the gym with a general idea of what I want to do but based on how I feel I will change reps,weights,exercises. When its heavy chest day I pyramid up, when I get to 495 if it feels heavy I might not go heavier for that day. I think its my body telling me to back off. I do follow the basic routine I posted before but its just a guideline how I feel determines what I do more than my set workout.
Shoulder health is very important to me, there arenāt to many people who lift heavy who have never had a shoulder issue. I do rotator cuff after shoulders. I do 3 exercises 12-20 reps for rotator cuff. Usually 3 sets for each movement.
The most I have done on Shoulder press is a triple with 405. I have never tried to max out. I really donāt like doing anything besides Bench Press for less than a triple.
Rasturai I will write out a sample workout exercise next post I have to shot to the gym. I have them saved somewhere on my computer just gotta find it.

hell iāve done a single with 405 but you mentioning rotator cuff health made me realize the difference. i have a shoulder horn i carry with me on every bench dayā¦defintely goin back to thatā¦

Another older thread but just wanted to say thanks I was getting stuck on the 5x5 workout I had been doingā¦but I have been doing your chest workout and have went from about 235 on the 2x2 to 260 for 2x2 today. Doing about 90% for those sets.
bump for lulz
and hopefully more training updates
Iām still curious about his light days.
wow, very jealous
im currently at 450 shooting for 500.
anyone particular peice of advice you could give me?
without me posting my entire life story?
Just bumping in case someone hasnāt seen this. (I was re-reading it)
BUMP! Anyone know if this dude ever competed??
Man this thread is awesome. Why isnāt this guy a superstar???
Thanks to those who bumped this thread.
Those videos are astounding. The lifts are done with mind boggling ease.
Iāve never seen anyone bench 600 like that let alone for reps.
this is a superstar lift and as Tim mentioned you should be well on your way competing. a 600 raw bench would rape anyone in a meet. hope to see you break the WR one day.
