didnt do legs because my patella tendon is sore, heavy leg press and stuff will only make it worse right now…

Im starting the blast your bench program again, but doing floor presses with chains because I suck at them.

Been up all night to get my sleep right on track, so im probably not that strong right now. No lift off either

Floor Press 30lbs chains (only got 30 at home)
135x10
225x10
225x8
225x6
225x4
225x7

With a lift off and once I get used to this Il be allot stronger…

Im planning on doing this for the program

10,8,6,4,2 225x10 225x8 225x6 225x4 225x7
Normal Bench: 5x15 225x5x15 60lbs chains
3,3,3,3,3 265x4x3 1x?
Normal Bench: 5x15 235x5x15 60lbs chains
10,8,6,4,2 235x10 235x8 235x6 235x4 235x?

10,8,6,4,2 245x10 245x8 245x6 245x4 245x?
Normal Bench: 5x15 245x5x15 60lbs chains
10,8,6,4,2 255x10 235x8 255x6 255x4 255x?
Normal Bench: 5x15 255x5x15 60lbs chain
10,8,6,4,2 265x10 265x8 265x6 265x4 265x?

3,3,3,3,3 275x4x3 1x?
3,3,3,3,3 285x4x3 1x?
3,3,3,3,3 295x4x3 1x?
3,3,3,3,3 305x4x3 1x?
3,3,3,3,3 315x4x3 1x?

Il definitley put good weight on my floor press on this program, but I dont know how it will carry over to my bench… Considering my floor Press is like 100lbs under my bench I think bringing it up should be solid idea… That and the chains will be a good change of pace.

I want to bench 405x10 in under 10 weeks, and then gradually work my way up to 500 slowly to avoid injury.

182

Bench, 30lbs chains, newform with feet flat on the floor. WAY WAY WAY BETTER LEG DRIVE
135x10
30lbs chains (not much but hey it will make a difference
225x4x15 1x17

New form feels gooood :slight_smile:

Hammer strength rows
135x10
225x10
315x5x10 1x20

machine shrugs
315x5x10 1x40

dumbell curls

25x10
30x10
35x10
50x6

rotator cuff
15x10
20x10
25x10
30x8
35x8

183

stayed up all night tryen to correct my sleep again, benched at 6am with no lift off, again, I should be way stronger with a lift off and some sleep.

floor press 30lbs chains
straight weight
135x10
225x3
225x3
275x3x3
275x2 lifted it off my self and my form completley went to shit, so I didnt count this set.
275x2x3

I probably could have done 10x4 with a lift off

anyway, PR’s

can i ask what do your parents think of your weight lifting and weight gain?

They think Im unhealthy, my dad isnt impressed, and my mom is impressed, but tells me to stop lifting heavier weights.

Nothing better then good old motivation.

The only cool thing is my brother is a very serious lifter so i get motivation from him. And my dad makes a ton of money so everything I need to get strong is covered and then some. I mean my parents could back me up a little bit but I got it pretty damn good.[/quote]

Hey Newb, just catching up on your thread and I saw this. Is your bro older than you? Height/weight? And what poundages does he move in the gym?

Reason I ask is, you obviously have been blessed with some ungodly genetics for strength. I’m very interested to see if a sibling got the same gift, and to what degree.

I would not say he has godly genetics by any means, he simply is doing what most fail to do eat and train correctly. I’ve seen some black guys at division 1 high schools who are 17-18 year olds moving similar weight with low bodyfat.

I mean look at the top college football programs when you get the freaks doing real programs and you have freshman repping out 600lbs completely raw with not the best form, he is very narrow and bottoms out; with good form and training for squat he would be 700+ easily. -and they are still not programs designed completely to get them stronger just in the weight room- Pressley is an animal - YouTube

I know when I was in high school I didn’t have a fucking clue what to do which caused me to give up training till recently-this is the case in almost every high school-. Newb is blessed with great knowledge, and older siblings who have trained hard and correct with him from the start. He simply is an amazing hard worker and his results show. Of course though he does have greater then most would in natural strength, but I would not say his genetics are not the main factor in his results.

He is 6"2 and at 282 at 19, benched 420 with a bounce and his ass came up. He high box squatted 600 with 3-4 weeks of training it. He deadlfited 650 with a slight hitch without ever really training his deadlift. All he would do is max on it every month or something along those lines.

He was 292 when he started lifting, got down to 215, and back up to 285 in a year to get those lifts, all together 3 years of training. Where as I focused soley on those lifts, and gained 120lbs in the same time fraim. Otherwise he would be much stronger than me.

Pretty much have to agree with this, Im strong because I focus on the lifts and gained a ton of weight. I see people with better genetics than me all the time, but they will never do what I can because they wont try as hard.

This is just wrong. If you’ve seen others moving similar weight in high school then they are also genetically blessed, or assisted. Let’s also not forget that Newb 1) is only just turned 17 (!) and has only been training a few years, and 2) professes to be steroid-free (and I believe him 100%), while the same can’t be said of a LOT of so-called high school “freaks”.

To expound on your “freaks” comment, you contradict your first paragraph in the first line of your second by using this label. By definition that means they are blessed above and beyond what normal people have in strength and the ability to put on muscle. That includes the kid in the video, who is also at least 2 years older than Newb. There are VERY FEW 6’1" 260-lb kids who could do that. The “freaks” that can, well - they’re playing D1 ball like him. Saying that Newb isn’t special by comparing him to the strength on an elite-level D1 athlete makes no sense. They’re BOTH blessed.

Look, I’ve competed at a high level in football, and I have a pretty good idea of what is elite in terms of strength in that arena. That kid is elite and falls into te same category as Newb in terms of genetics. If you are saying that any 17-year old kid can bench 450, deadlift 700, and squat 650 if they’d only train with laser intensity and eat properly, you’re dead wrong.

But Newb, look at the other side of the coin. Think about all the kids that DO work as hard as you, but come nowhere close to the gains you make. Hard work is one thing, but 2 people working equally as hard will not necessarily make the same progress.

Also, what do you consider to be better genetics than you? You’re not lean, but you’ve admitted that’s a function of your diet.

Hard training is a big part, but so is bulking 120lbs. It wouldnt matter how hard I trained I wouldnt be near these lifts if I didnt weigh as much as I do. Most people wont gain that much weight just to get stronger.

As far as what I consider good genetics…
The weakest kid’s at my school bench more than I did when I started.

I saw a 123lb kid who never lifted before bench 185, deadlift 265, and squat 315 off a low box with a slight spot from me.

I have seen countless kids my age deadlift more than I did when I started, at a lower bodyweight than I was, without hitching.

A pot head at my school squated 550 off a low box and bench 365 with 3 years off and on training, in other words he only trained over the summer for football. And he was only 260’s and one of the laziest kids you will ever meet.

A little 14 year old kid bench 345 and hex deadlift 455 after 3 deadlift workouts (he was on d-boll supposedly tho)

And a bunch of kids who benched over 200 at 14.

I look at people like this and I know if they trained with me and gained as much weight as me they would beat if not tie my lifts. I mean the one pothead kid did 550 with a olympic belt off a low box.

Gvie him a good belt and take the box away, hes probably at 600. Give him knee wraps hes at 650, have him bulk to 320 and train right the whole time and he would be repping 700. I dont even want to think of what that kid could do with smolov and some motivation.

191

Bench, no lift off, so I cant get set up right, I cant lift without a lift off…
135x10
225x3
225x3
275x3
315x14…
275x15
225x3x15

I couldnt arch and my feet were flat so my ass kept coming off the bench. only like 3" tops tho. I feel like I can bench 500 like that.

Id also like to add Im gonna stop posting in my log for a little while. Il start posting again in a few weeks hopefully Il be at 500 by then.

192

Doubleh a lot of those devision one freaks drink every weekend, smoke pot and don’t eat correctly. They also don’t take weightlifting SERIOUSLY, I see so many gifted athletes rely just on that, their talent.

I have never met ANYONE as dedicated as newb to weight training, he eats and lifts correctly something no high school kid not even on this site can really say they do-he has been doing it correctly from the start, largely in part to research and training partners-.

He is not afraid to gain a lot of weight in order to be better at weightlifting. Also I remember a thread where newb listed his lifts when he first started out, and they were not impressive at all.

A lot of people ‘think’ they work hard but really they do not. I like to think I train hard and eat well, but newb clearly out does me. He makes lifting a priority and his results show.

thanks man, when I first came here I think I had a 350 dead, 250 squat, and 215 bench or something like that.

I definitley make lifting a priority, probably my biggest priority.

But as far as diet… I tryed writing down what I ate. After half a day I just gave up because it was so pitifull.

The way I eat couldnt bulk a 120lb guy up, I dont eat clean, and thinking about it I dont even eat that much.

For example… Today I ate

1.5 humburgers, homeade so lots of meat, big buns, natural cheese, mayo etc.
1 cup milk, 1 cup coffee, chocolate syrup.

worked out
Back,traps,reardelts,legs biceps, rotator cuff.

Came home, 2 cups chocolate milk
1 burger same way as made before

2 cups of milk

chicken breast/bbQ
1.5 cups of milk

Most of my days dont beat this, I dont have a set diet, dont eat allot of calories, dont eat allot of protein. I have the body type to gain weight easy as hell and a very slow metabolism. The only thing I did right, was simply, gain weight. Other than that my diet sucks. Of course I went through long periods of time with a good diet. I probably spent the majority of 3 years eating pretty solid. Fruits, vegitables, good fats, good carbs, lean proteins etc. But as of late, I been eating like shit and it hasent done anything other than get me strong. I dont even not any extra fat gain.

Do you work? Go to the grocery store and pick up whatever meat you can get the most for you’re money with. I can’t believe you’re 300+ eating like that!

It’s gotta be the milk. You know what they say, “milk does the body good.” Seriously though, i think im gettin more calories than this on the Get Shredded diet, and i have dropped from 192->178.

My lifts started going down, but then i started training more like you, trying to set PR’s every week, whether it be 8 reps or 3 reps, and my strength has really started to go back up, and i have actually became quite a bit stronger while dieting because of this. Which leads me to the conclusion that its your training and not your eating that has been causing you to have such great gains.

BTW, Awesome work man, your lifts are truly inspiring! Maybe i will be able to hit my triple bw deadlift, double bw bench, and 2.5 bw squat, by the end of the year if i continue to train like you.

I ate again after Iposted that, some steak, toast, and more milk. Then had more milk before bed.

but yeah, I really dont eat that much… I cant say Im unhappy about this. In my opinion the worse thing that could happen to me is if I had to shovel down 7000 calories to weigh what I do.

I got tons of meat at my house, chicken, fish, beef, etc. Tons of organic food, fruit, vegitables, whole wheat breads, eggs, nuts, all that crap. I just havent been eating it.

Thanks man, my diet does suck. The only help I got from is is the weight gain. So I put on some muscle and improved my leverages etc. But over all, its the training.

If you dont push for more weight, it wont come. Thats why people lift for years and end up the same. And its why the people making the best progress in bodybuilding are making great strength gains to.

199

Most important thing about diet for getting stronger and building muscle really is calories. Thats all you really need, lots of calories and some protein. Some days you might not eat that much, but I always remember you posting about going to all you can eat buffets ext. So in these last 3 years or so you have definitely eaten, maybe not everyday but you have been getting a lot of calories in.

I think a lot of people are confused, they eat so clean they end up getting less then 2k calories. Thats a much more shitty diet then what you do.

Your training is a very big part though for your strength, you train in very low reps and many heavy singles-with high intensity-. This is the best way to build great strength, eventually your body adapts to the heavy lifting and finally gets the weight up, repeat.

Your right though a lot of people just do the high rep sets of low weight and never progress.

It’s gotta be the milk. You know what they say, “milk does the body good.” Seriously though, i think im gettin more calories than this on the Get Shredded diet, and i have dropped from 192->178.

My lifts started going down, but then i started training more like you, trying to set PR’s every week, whether it be 8 reps or 3 reps, and my strength has really started to go back up, and i have actually became quite a bit stronger while dieting because of this. Which leads me to the conclusion that its your training and not your eating that has been causing you to have such great gains.

BTW, Awesome work man, your lifts are truly inspiring! Maybe i will be able to hit my triple bw deadlift, double bw bench, and 2.5 bw squat, by the end of the year if i continue to train like you.

Thanks man, my diet does suck. The only help I got from is is the weight gain. So I put on some muscle and improved my leverages etc. But over all, its the training.

If you dont push for more weight, it wont come. Thats why people lift for years and end up the same. And its why the people making the best progress in bodybuilding are making great strength gains to.
