Really not that impressive in my mind. 405 is pretty light for a lot of people squatting around here. It has taken some time to work up to the reps I do, but works better for me.
Legs have always been my strong point really and they grow pretty quickly.
Are you still pretty quick and agile at 300+?

I like to think so. I can still run and move pretty well. Still play a pickup game of bball with some friends and randoms from time to time. Not the greatest at it, but I do okay.
I can still touch the rim, but I can’t dunk. Never have been able to though lol.

lol that’s awesome
Feels good to have a great amount of strength and/or size while being at least somewhat athletic. You also garner a lot of respect that way.

Yeah to be honest I don’t feel all that much loss of agility, quickness, etc. But I will say I look goofier and less fluid doing things than I did at a lighter weight. I guess some of the bulkiness gets in the way.

Me neither. Though I do feel more “prepared” after dropping weight so to speak provided energy levels are unchanged.

Me too. When I diet down and drop weight I feel lighter on my feet overall and I am sure my speed increases.
Blasting calves after cardio always makes them burn!
Serious question, are you a gorila that’s become as intelligent as a human from taking that alzheimer’s medication from planet of the apes?
you’re a beast man, I will be following.

I am not sure. I did have my mind wiped I think years ago!
Thank you sir and welcome to Bauber’s Journey.
When you do the fly day do you keep your arms straight or do you do a more power fly-type fly?

Slight bend in the elbow and try to get a good stretch with every rep. I say somewhere kinda of in the middle between the two.

So do you feel like most of the chest activation comes from the bottom where your arms are stretched back? I’ve never really felt much at the top of a fly when you’re supposed to squeeze your pecs or whatever.
Might seem asinine lol, but I’m interested just so I get something out of them. I know you’re not a powerlifter, but I have noticed most of the really big benchers have flys as a staple in their accessory work.

I say bottom and very top. I try to pretend I am hugging a barrel when coming up and really focus on contracting the pectoral muscle. If I don’t feel the contraction get very tight and my pec muscles push together and harden up I lighten the weight. In your working sets your pecs should be screaming and on fire if you are keeping tension on them and getting a full contraction at the top of the movement in my opinion. Now saying that it took me some time and practice to form that mind to muscle connection.
I am a huge believer in really focusing on getting mind to muscle connection, especially with more of isolation movements. I think flys really help fill the pectoral out laterally where your pressing movements make them thicker. And it helps reduce some strain on the tendons from pounding heavy weight week in and week out.
