Well, if you’d like to trade places . . . work part time and barely make enough money to live on . . .[/quote]
Yeah ,But I bet you enjoy what your doing. Mine is a job and not a career.[/quote]

Guilty as charged.

Good pulling. How’s the other pup doing?[/quote]
Then I think you need a job. You know something that makes you get up in the morning and just dreading the next 8 hours plus.

Both pups are doing fine.

Pretty beat up from yesterday…Doing Bench tomorrow.

Squat : Bar x 5 x 5
75 x 5
95 x 5
115 x 3
135 x 3
150 x 3
170 x 6…OH SHIT!!!

Chins:5/4/3/2/1/7

Dips:5/4/3/2/1/ 12

Well, the kid managed to get to my level of squatting. After just a few weeks of training. And I’ve been pounding at for decades. As hard as I could. Why am I wasting my time?

Nice pulls good squats for the pup as well.

I wouldnt beat your self up…There’s a few things you need to take in consideration

  1. hes been physically active in sports since he was 5 years old.

  2. Hes young and going through puberty

  3. hes got someone coaching him whom has a general grasp on the subject.

  4. he comes from bad ass stock…:slight_smile:

Thanks…Pulls still suck in my book but at least there showing signs of life.
Ill be honest the pup surprised me…

Ill will never forget when my son was 13 and squatted 185 for reps (he is short with great levers).

Now he turns 21 next month and moving in to live we me. Plan to get his ass back in the weight room.

What age did BP start lifting? I’m sure you’ve said and I probably asked before. My 3 year old is very into lifting with me (read: playing in my gym) I’m thinking 11-12 would be about the right age to start him with some basic stuff.

My advice Dday, BW stuff before he starts puberty, I know things have changed. However I worry about heavy loads on growth plates that have not closed yet. I mean why take the chance?

that’s about what I was thinking too. Give him a broom handle and teach him proper bar path etc. You know the shit I’m trying to figure out myself at 37 because no one ever showed me the right way.

I honestly didnt get him started until just a few weeks shy of his 13 th birthday last summer. The wife wouldnt let me start him sooner because of what a pediatrician told her.


4/24/11

Warm up : Light db & band movements

Bench : Bar x 20
95 x 10
135 x 5 x 5
190 x 5
225 x 4
260 x 3
290 x 2
305 x 1
320 x 1
340 x 1…Felt light as hell, Paused it for at least a three count flew up fast and easy
270 x 16…didnt go nuts on the back off set left some in the tank

Incline Bench: 2 x 8 x 250

BTN Press: 3 x 10 x light weight

Skull crushers : 2 x 12 x SW

Scott arm curls: 3 x 12 x SW

Got to say it was a pretty easy session , Other then my upper back was feeling slightly fatigue but it was all good… 5 more bench sessions left until the Meet. Feeling pretty damn healthy no aches or pains and the strength is there. So all in all im feeling pretty good for June at this point.

I’m still thinking I’m going to watch you do at least 425 in June.

looks like things are going well in the ol gym for you gladf to see things tracking for you

I’m hanging in there…

Wait…270x16 isn’t going nuts? I must be in the wrong place.

I guess I should ask if I am still allowed in here, after my absence.

Looks like you and bullpup are still moving right along! When is your next meet?
