Nice work, Joe. I am actually envious of the rep range you are falling into right now. I know the higher rep crap is good for me, but getting to a weight where you can only squeeze out a small handful of reps feels so good.

The workouts are looking good and I have no doubt these heavy sets are going to really pay off. [/quote]

Thanks Strick, I’m hoping they pay off. If I can keep my pressing 5 and 3 weeks going I might have several more months before I have to reset.

Honestly I’m just trying to keep up with everybody else.

Looks like you are doing a fine job of it. Well, actually, your cardio work would push you past most of us.

Thanks Strick, I’ve got miles to go before I’m lifting what you do.

Cycle 8-Week 3-Day 3

Bench

5x200
3x230
2x255 (+1 rep PR)
1x270 (+5lbs PR)* I think

5x10x170

Underhand BB Row

5x10x165

V-bar Pulldowns

5x10x155

Great job! Back to back PRs and 1 for a new max. I think you are right. If the 5s and 3s can keep up, you won’t be resetting for a bit.

Nice PR Joe - you are closing in on 315 for that bench!

Nice job on the bench. What is your weight right now? Is that too personal? You seem to be making a lot of good progress. Even though you wore capri’s the other day I’ll look past that:)

Sweet benching. 315 is in your sights.

That’s been my philosophy as well. Good job, Joe.

The PR train keeps rolling. Did you have a spotter for that bench PR?

I’m trying to up my food and recovery in an effort to still keep hitting those numbers.

I don’t know George, that 315 sounds pretty far away. Thanks though.

ROFL, surely you should know by know theres nothing you can ask thats too personal.

Right now I’m weighing in the 196-198 range. I’m slowly putting on size but sadly its almost all going to my upperbody. My back and shoulders are exploding, my chest and arms are growing a bit, and my legs stay the same size. They get harder and harder but don’t really grow.

I am growing an ass though according to me female friends.

Thanks Steve, 315 seems very far away right now.

Thanks, I always wonder if I’m doing things “optimaly” so it tends to cause me to second guess my self.

In fairness, as long as I get more than more rep on the money on week 3 its always going to eb a cheap PR.

I sort of had a spotter, the only guy in the gym at the time was prety weak but I figured he might be able to get the bar off of me if it stappled me. Luckily I didn’t have to find out but I was kind of worried.

Great pressing Joe, your bench is really coming up…well done!

Cycle 8-Week 3-Day 4
