Hey guys, sorry I haven’t updated in close to a week. School and ROTC have kept me super busy, but I managed to train every day but Thursday. Here’s some highlights from the past week.
Seated BB Press 9x175, 3x195
Back Squat 4x365(video)
CG Decline Bench 4x265 this hurt my wrists
Nothing too special, but decent enough. I broke most of the blood vessels in my face during the squat set, but I’m not known for my good looks anyways.
Squats are looking good!

I’m fat and out of shape. Reps suck.
I’m with you on reps. I have neither the patience nor cardiovascular fortitude for reps.

I was talking with the old huge dude in our gym and he was telling me to do the reps. He said it’ll make a big difference.

Did he give his reasoning behind the statement? I’d be interested in knowing.

“Gotta get the blood in there. Blood is good stuff.” Direct quote as said by an almost 60 year old man at sub-10% bodyfat and about 235.
He said that if I work reps for a couple of weeks, then go back to some heavier stuff, things will be firing better. It made sense and he used to be strong as hell, so I trust him. He told me do some stuff in the 8-12 range, any more reps and you didn’t go heavy enough.

Very cool. I’d try just about anything to be pushing 60 at 235 sub 10%.
How are you going to work on the higher reps? Just hit a top set of 8-12?
I’m thinking I’m going to hit a heavier set of about 6, then do 3-5 sets of 8-12. Progress over time like I’ve been doing with the db pressing.

Had a PT test this morning and it went pretty well considering the hernia. Pretty soon(like later this week), I’ll be swearing into the United States Army. Training went ok, got some good volume in.

I don’t know, the fatback will help, but you certainly don’t need any more fat
