Went to the little 24 hour gym. Decided to not even bother with the slip-n-slide bench and just started with incline barbell. I’ve neglected poor ol’ incline barbell anyhow. Be good to have some numbers on the books for it.
Incline Bench:
45 10x
135 5x
185 5x
225 5x
225 5x
225 5x
225 5x
225 5x No spotter, so just did this nice and easy 5x5. Lots of weight left in the tank.
It’s amazing what I can do when I remove 100% of the stabilization from a movement lol.
Seated DB Press:
60’s 10x
60’s 10x
60’s 10x
DB Bench:
70’s 10x
70’s 10x
70’s 10x
Didn’t feel like using much weight anymore, so for those DB presses and bench I just did some slow negatives with as much range of motion as possible, nice and controlled.

I might not be the strongest, but I’ve gotten really good at doing a ton of training lol.
Kinda like a Crossfit person I guess… Now I’m sad.

Jenn, I just wanted to say that like a week ago, my baby brother saw your avi was like, “It’s Bowser!”. Made me laugh.

TnG Deadlifts:
135 5x
225 5x
315 3x
405 1x
445 10x PR yet again. I did not expect to be able to keep doing 10’s this long. It’s been a full month now of linear progression.
445 5x
445 5x
445 5x
Farmer’s Holds: Chia made some fucking awesome farmer’s handles. We didn’t do any walks today, but we just weighed them and loaded up and tested things out. Grip felt great.
Did a few picks and holds with 245 per hand, which, as I understand, is about what they use for most amateur contests. Hands felt solid as fuck. The limiting factor on these will probably be my abs and upper back during the walks.
Chinups:
5 sets of 10
Machine Rows:
5 sets of 10
Very abbreviated workout today. Played around with the handles and shot the shit for a while and just needed to head out. Dog sitting for someone, so had to make sure Kirby hadn’t brutally killed their puppy while I was gone.
Tomorrow is bench day. And by bench day, this time, I mean dip day. Shit is going down, mark my words.
I mean check out these handles! Solid as hell. And he said it was only like 50 bucks in materials.
I’m gonna make that 330lb stone early next week provided the weather should be warm enough overnight. Also we’ve got an empty keg that I can fill with sand to load up to 150-200 for carries. Chia’s got a sandbag already with some load, and we can fill that out to 150-200 also for carries.
Gonna be a legit strongman gym. The only thing we need now is to save up for a yoke, and we will seriously be all set.
Did you see the Clint Darden vid at Elite FTS, ‘’ I can do all things’’ A video montage of his strong man training LOL, your in for a tough road brother if that video is any indication of strong man training, I thought I was tough, haha, pretty motivating. Nice work on the DIY handle’s Latter

I’ve never felt this with dips before, but doing max type weights on them I don’t even feel it in my triceps hardly at all; I feel it all in the center of my chest, like at my sternum. What it feels like really is someone ripping my ribcage apart.
I had a pretty shitty workout from here on; those heavy derps kinda fucked me up.
I always loop the belt chain through once before I hook the weights. With this many plates however that put the weight like way too high, and I think that may have thrown me off somewhat.
+205 Dip:
I did not loop the chain this time, and the weights hung better. It’s clear though that I’m still a good ways from 225. It will be some time before I attempt a max again.
Well I don’t know who all’s in the race, but Jed and I are probably pretty close on dip strength. Mahwah can already do 5 plates lol. And spar4tee for now is concealing his power level, although I strongly suspect he is ahead of us. It’s gonna be tougher than I thought to get to 225.
