I agree. I need some short-term goals to aim for. ;)[/quote]
You mean like being able to bench what I use as my first warm-up for militaries ?
You sure you’re up to that? Don’t overestimate yourself here… You might get injured with that much weight

Hey if I recall correctly, you weren’t even training when you were my age. 
On that note, I decided I’m going to attempt a 700lb rackpull before I turn 19. Expect a video in the next month.

Do PJR’s as your “extension” movement or just rely on heavy presses…
Also, make damn sure that you’re doing the smith RGB’s right (not gripping with all fingers etc), those can give you trouble too if you do 'em wrong.
But the symptoms you described fit perfectly with the skullcrusher/extension “syndrome”.
For now you need to let your elbow rest. After some time you can get back to tricep training…
But then as I said…
CGP’s, RGB’s, IH-Presses, HS Dips, PJR’s…
The only actual extension you could probably do pain-free are scott-extensions… But It’s a definite risk. Also DB rolling ext. (check the “rawelite” youtube channel of Christopher Drummond/maraudermeat to see how he does 'em). Gotta be real careful there though, good sleeves are a must.

There is a decent chance that I was not doing the smith RGBP’s correctly. At one point I think I was putting most of the weight on my ulnar side, which most likely hurt me. I will make sure to try and start pushing towards my feet more since I do not think I was doing much of that either.
Thanks.
Also, I think a BOI 3.0 is in order, but I have a crap computer.

and that number would be…
The little BB-hamster sure does talk big, but we’ve got no proof that he lifts big as well… ?
Today’s workout was a little “recover from holidays” / “experiment a little” workout. Here goes:
Low pulley bicep curls: 55lb x 15
Reverse curls: 40lb x 13
DC style leg press calf raises: 250lb x 10
SLDLs: 230lb x 6 + 175lb x 14
Leg press w/ narrow stance: 320lb x 7 + 200lb x 23
Ripped a LOUD one during my leg presses, even though it was pretty light weights… The girls standing next to the leg press machine chatting sure got busy quickly studying the roof

He does smith RGB’s as his tricep exercise there at the end.
I don’t have sound on this PC and don’t know what he’s saying though, hope he explains it.
Pay attention to the grip in case he mentions it.
Here’s a Dante quote:
[quote]
Reverse grip bench press By Dante
Reverse grip bench press= when in doubt widen the grip…but the key to it is dont grip the bar tight…
Let the bar run over your palm at an angle and grip the bar tightly with your thumb and 2 forefingers…see the 2 big creases in your palm when you crunch your fingers together?
There is one that runs horizontal and one that runs between the forefinger and thumb and curves east to south or west to south<----thats kind of where the bar runs across the palm of your hand while gripping with forefingers and thumb and loosely or not a all with pinky and ring finger.
thats the biggest mistake people make when doing the reverse grip bench press—they try to grip the bar tight with all fingers

Behold:
The olympic bar.
That’s it and yes, the post above I made in response to Vegg was obviously not a serious one… Unless you expect people to use over 300
lbs on their first warm-up for standing militaries…
Legs
H.S. Leg Press 4 plates x6
2plates+35 x20
Leg Curl 204x6
160x10
Did some H.S. Leg exts to get that nice pump goin
Seated Calf Raises
2 sets of 4plates x10
i did my calves like 2 days ago but im just gonna hit em a lot, round 3 sessions a week granted i have time.
tommorrow is supposed to be an off day but i think im just gonna go and do it so that its 2 days on 1 off. i cant stand being bored at home and not training.
Not so obviously a joke. 278 after 6 months off is still pretty big. And unless that is just a lot of fat, which judging by your knowledge of DC and training in general it isn’t, I don’t think your a very weak guy.
But we all know Vegg is weak as a kitten so you never know…
( i kid, i kid)

you could just have a bad internet connection.
I had cable, awhile ago and T-Nation would reasonably fast, some thread took longer but I never waited forever.
I just got fios and I can tell a bit of a difference. When I download stuff I usually get anywhere from 1.0mb to 1.7mb/second
And cam…i mean stuntman mike haha I trying out the 2 double stackers pre workout meal right now.
I feel amazing.

In all seriousness, Doing strict standing militaries just doesn’t allow you to use extreme weights compared to the bench press…
I think 400 for 1 is impressive as hell, more than that is insane.
Oly lifters used to do that with their back arched so much that it looked like a standing bench press…
Wonder how much Markus Rühl could do… 700 for a double on Smith Front Presses/High inclines… I bet his military wouldn’t be too shabby.
Sure higher than mine lol.

Well, I’m at work when I post and we have T1 lines, so it’s not the internet connection.
On a side note, this is funny. I wish I trained at Elitefts.

over 10,100 people have watched that video now.
Crazy.
So its an off day for me, my chest feels like somebody did to it what Bug usually does to Cam’s butt.
So, Brotherhood of Iron 3.0…
anybody object ?

Go ahead. On this forum, any thread over 50-80 pages should get a new version… I do think I can see what error the ones who coded the forum did, but since they have not done anything with it yet, it probably is too much to hope for that anyone will fix the code now… so please, make a 3.0.
3.0 already huh? Guess it’s a good thing for a thread to be so consistently active.
Better post my weak-ass shoulder workout fast so it’s not the first thing I have to post in 3.0…
Anyway, I had a fever, a migraine, and I was tired as hell, but I still managed a decent workout.
Seated Shoulder Press
Barx30ish(to loosen up my right shoulder)
115lbsx8
135lbsx4
155lbsx8*
*good solid reps, going for 175 next time.
DB Lateral Raises
15lbsx10
20lbsx8
25lbsx6
40lbsx12+5+4 (21 RP)*
*kind of crappy reps, gotta work on that.
Tried some reverse flys, but they hurt my shoulder again, so I did HS shoulder press with a 45 on each side for like 50 reps. Really made my shoulder feel better, so I’ll be doing that often.
OK, made the BOI 3.0
Todays an off day for me, somebody better post a ass kicking workout in there to start it off
