I wanna be 195 by the time i graduate at that point im gonna train hypertrophy less and basically wanna move to strength training

Upper body goals hope to hit all of them within 2 -2.5 years… lower body goals within 3-4 years…but obviously im trying to hit them sooner

Don’t worry about your DL; it’ll come up soon enough if you keep doing them. They’ll jack your back too!

Damn it! You caught up to me on DL’s! lol Nice job:)

What did you change with your bench form? What kind of pain did you get before? Previous injury? Doesn’t sound right.

Btw, your avitar’s butt is hanging out…thought I’d point that out to you in case you hadn’t noticed.

Also, how in the world can you do military presses after benching and DL’s? I’d die.

  • well there is a sharp pain at my delt pec junction on my left side particularly when i pull my arm back far past parallel in a benching motion so now i just go down until my upper arms are past parallel but not to the point at which the bar touches my chest prolly a few inches off my chest 3-4

-omg maybe i need to change my pic… it seems inappropriate now :slight_smile:

-haha well my friend and i were thinking the same thing about the Bench, DL, and presses…i was actually winded as if id been running… and extremely exhausted after this workout
