Yeah? Maybe I’ll try them again sometime, I could have been doing them wrong I guess.

with all of that volume are you just having the most wicked awesome gnar gnar chesticle pumps or what? I bet those sets of 20 get the blood flowing the salmon of Capistrano?

I know there is no strict way to do the JM press, but for me lowering the bar more towards my neck and letting the upper arm tilt a bit more gets my tris a lot better, but you have to back way off the weight.[/quote]
This is how I was taught. But I struggle with making this one seamless motion like in the video. I tend to come down and then back. Doesn’t quite feel intuitive to me yet.

Are you still drunk?
Squats
Rough day, long week caught up with me. Felt flat, briefs were loose, but definitely had some silver lining. I didnt miss any lifts, and the comradeship between true lifters is awesome. BIG TIME voluntarily spotted me by himself behind me, the other guy went ahead and instead of doin his own stuff came over to psych me up and get me pumped up cause he knew my trainin was sucking. Left it all on the court with squats, had no energy for anything else really. Lookin forward to better work next time.

Chest/Shoulders/Tris
Two weeks is up, time to work back into heavy flat bench. Used monster minis today to do reverse band, shoulder felt great the whole time. Doing these with the monster minis rather than the average bands felt great, had to work harder the whole way through and they were pretty much deloaded at lockout. LWI.

Monster weights. Killing it, Dix.
I’ll try doing these with the mini’s next time maybe. The strong bands felt like they helped a lot, but hey, deloaded at lockout is deloaded at lockout. LWI man.
Oh, and BIG TIME has THE most pimpenest pants around man! WITH bball shorts over the top of 'em. Straight gangster. Can he come with you to LWI WC?
I’m not sure what I’m more impressed with… BIGTIME’s pants or the weight your putting up? bad ass man
Lets take a vote - should I get some pants like that?
There is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
