Do you touch your chest with incline? I ask 'cause your incline is strong in proportion to your flat bench. When I could inlcine 225 for 8 I could flat bench 3 plates. From reading your weights lifted I can tell your shoulders are far and away your strongest muscle group.
White, yeah I see what you are saying. I come as close as you can without touching and sometimes touch I just never bump.
But yeah my shoulders are def more advanced physically and visually than my chest. I think my shoulders are easier to train.
With Chest I tend to have shoulders and Tris doing a lot of the work.
Plus I am starting to experiment with grip width on flat bench and I am finding that as wide as I used to go which was just a scoach from crushing my hands when I hung it up, to a more narrow grip, and I am fidning it works more chest to be a bit narrower.
Plus I am doing heavy slow flys to try and bring chest up.
Thanks for the input bro!

Ha, haa, haaaa!
Damn Dizzaroo,
You really are having a good run buddy.
I’m happy for you. Shows what a good listener and intelligent mind can end up with, as opposed to…Well, you know, lol.
Keep up the good work and watch out for the gyno fairy with that dbol blast at the end, though I doubt it will bite you at that dose. Still, ya never know, as you are at 900 there big fella. And two aromatizers can do funny things right?
I see you having a great full ride.
Taper or standard? I can’t remember right now.
cheers,
ToneBone
Either way, you’re a strong sumbitch. Once you find your “groove” on the bench, your numbers are gonna be silly.
In the Zone, well honestly… Taper or Standard is going to be determined by if I run out of compound… And by the looks of it I’ll be out very soon. 1.5ml makes that vial level drop rather quickly. So probably standard. The Gyno fairy has been good so far and I have plenty of Adex on hand which has really only been used for a little water retention thus far.
Whiteflash, thanks I certainly don’t feel strong with the big MFers I workout with. But I think that’s a good thing, they push me (Like CrazY. One is 260 and one is 335lbs they are big strong Oxen.
They told me they would tie me to the women’s locker room if I didn’t get the 300lbs on Bench last week. Nothing like a little motivation, and as I mentioned before they are all Police Officers too. I know there’s some irony there.
But having workout partners who are much stringer and bigger really starts to bring you up quick.
Thanks All!

Pics coming soon Get Swole, I was a nice guy who lent my power cable to my 2nd computer to my EX so she could have internet at her new place. That was stupid… Now I have to go buy another one.
Pics soon, and that car rocks!
If you can incline 275 for 3, you should be able to flat 3 plates for at least a few reps. Get on it.
Ha I hear ya bro!
My incline was inflated because we did it first, where we usually do flat bench first, I felt strong as balls for the incline then as usual I felt likeI blew my wad and didn’t have much left in the tank.
How does one become stronger for longer??
I also started using the elbows in method for benching as I was thrashing my shoulders while benching with elbows out, I couldn’t figure out why my traps hurt like hell everytime I benched. I am strating to find my groove…
My workout partners keep telling me that I don’t need to bring the bar down so low, but I always feel I am cheating myself if I don’t brush my chest (Flat Bench) that is.
Next week we’ll see what the flat bench fairy brings

How low are you going on incline? I ask, 'cause when I could touch my chest with 225 for 8 on inc, I was hitting 315 on flat. Either you’re not going as low as you think you are, or you’re psyching yourself out with 3 plates. My money’s on psyching yourself out.
Yeah on incline I do not got to my chest probably about 3-4" from chest as it really starts to tear some shoulders up (in a bad way) for me to go lower than that.
On flat bench I go to chest.
And hell yeah not just psyching myself out but 315 feels very heavy in my hands. Whereas 300 just feels cumbersome.
There is a competing bench press pro in my gym and I watch him and his technique is way different than mine. He is only about 5’7 and his arms are probably 10" shorter than mine (3-4" thicker though) but he only ways 202lbs and I’ve seen him (Monday) Push 500 even twice.
Now I know who keeps fucking up all the bars in the gym. He was th eone who told me to bring my elbows in or I was going to use too much shoulder and not enough chest.
He also mentioned for my bench to go up I should stop working my shoulders so much.
I personally would rather have bigger badder shoulders than anything else. So I am taking that with a grain of salt. Maybe I won’t keep killing them so much but I’m not going to stop working on them.
I’d say to add more quality whole grains like slow cooked brown rice, or red skin potatoes.

Killer workout both in weight and length for me.
Took approx 2 hours.[/quote]
Wow, 2 hour workouts are far too long. And I’ve gotta ask is that a typo? Laterals with 35’s, yet only 50’s on Seated DB press? I use 40’s on laterals and press 95’s.
Justin no not a type o…
I can press 95’s too if I didn’t just do miltary press 1 minute before.
And yes I know 2 hours is far too long…That was kind of my point. The guys I workout with like to overtrain.
It does whoop my ass but with Vitamin T I am rarely tired after a workout.
Two different training styles…
This particular workout is a high volume one.
I am working on strength stamina as I have very little, I tend to blow the wad in the first two or 3 sets. As I am used to doing high weight low volume.
High volume low rest = no cardio for me ha!
It’s like Dog Crap meets Strength training, again as you will see this is not the norm workout for me.
