solid work eco
kmc
4/25
I only had 12 hours between workouts-last nights and this mornings. It really made a difference in my strength or lack there of.
bench 320x10 (11 last week)
3 board press 365x1, 315x5x5
rack lockouts 405x3,455x3,500x1,405x3
- BB row 205x10x8
- DE bench 205x3x8
- bowflex pulldown 160x15x3
- close grip bench 225x10x3
tates 40x10x3
With workouts like that Eco, the bullying stops. At least from my end. I value living.
Wow. That sure looks like a lot of work for one session. Are you dead yet?
ol
eco- You might have said this back a few pages-- are you doing any comps this year?
One of the gyms I go to is sponsoring a meet up here in July
Thanks guys for the comments. SFP, like I said I enjoy the joking around. Please continue. MJ, I was beat after this workout.
SteelyD, I was going to do a push/pull in May but decided not to . Where abouts in Maine is your gym? If its within 2-3 hours I may come up. You competing?

The machine squats burned like hell. My right shoulder has been bothering me for a couple workouts now. Any overhead pressing makes it ache and DE bench.

You will find “sympathy” in the dictionary, right in between the words “shit” and “syphillis”… lol 
JK brother… 12 hours between those sessions!? You must be feelin’ that still.
You should go up to that meet in Maine, get the competitive juices flowin’.

Moved very quickly. Finished in around 35 minutes.Still no junk food.
You guys and your big freakin bench numbers! BAH! (Nice lifting!)
Eco, I see you make use of the bowflex quite a bit. I know people who have literally put them out for trash and others who love them, or at least say they work. I guess you’re in the latter?
strong session eco.
can’t wait to see how the testing goes. what are you look’n to hit on bench?
SteelyD, glad to see the old avatar! I’ve found the bowflex can be use for db exercises like flyes and lying tri ext. My wife bought it for my b-day a few years ago. So I find it usefull for my home gym. I would rather an entire rack of dbs.
MM, I hope to hit 415 with a pause.
On a side note I was 262lbs this morning. Thats down from 267lbs. I was craving ice cream or a twinkie last night. But I just sat there and watched the Bruins get spanked.
Its finally happened to me. I have high BP, cholesterol, most likely mild sleep apnea and I’ll be 40 in August. So watching my diet is not just for hawt abz but so I can see 50 some day. Funny but I don’t feel old.
