On the bench, looked good form wise from here, elbows seem to be tucked in and your grip isn’t stupid wide. Oh, and before heading back to the bench rack because you can’t get leg drive, lay a plate or two down under your feet in the cage, and try again.[/quote]
I wasnt kidding, lol. Next move is shaving my head down to a 2 or 3…will u luv me 4eva?

Watching it i really feel my elbows aren’t nearly as tucked as the should be…thanks for the idea of laying a plate down, now I want to freaking bench again lololol.

I concur the fade is where its at

Yes Claxorz, buzz that shit off and I’ll love you 4 eba, fo sho

Greg, I’m glad you liked the comedic styling of yours truly. I’ll have to drop some LULZ into your log when I feel they’re appropriate and not expected, haha. He kinda has the Beiber look right now, he went from one of the Hanson brothers (who I’m sure he doesn’t even know about, frickin child that he is) to Beiber. Next stop, MANHOOD!

Bieber my ass…LEAVE MY ROG NAOW IF U R GOIN TO SAY THAT

U mad brah?

Todays session…

8/11/11

Devil Rows
325x4 PR

Strict DB Rows (pause at the top)
60x10 L/R

Cable Rows
165x8/8 PR

HS High Row
3ppsx8/7 PR

HS Lat Pulldown (UH grip)
2ppsx7/7/6 PR

DE Sumo/Conv DL (60sec rest)
225x10x2 (5 sumo and 5 conventional)

DC Stretch quads/hammies/shoulders 30 sec each

NOTES: Pretty good session, devil rows felt good. Had a couple more reps in me but my groin was achy so I wasnt going to push it. The strict db rows are killer, can really feel them! Multiple sets for the rest of the exercises and everything felt strong! Probably pull the sled in a little bit to get some blood flow in my legs.

So for a couple weeks I have this pain in my left forearm when Im benching. If my arm is out and my palm is facing upward, the pain is on the medial side. Im thinking its something with the wrist flexors, specifically the palmaris longus or something near that…anyone have any advice on what to do or have had this trouble? It flares up when Im doing barbell benching (specifically after i complete the rep, rack the bar and then proceed to ungrasp the bar it shoots pain) and barbell curls with both a straight bar and an ez bar. It does not bother me on other things such as military press or push press that I noticed.

LOmotherfuckingL at the video snapshot, also noticed your hair has so much bounce to it when you’re doing your devil rows. how do you get it so lovely?

As for the forearm pain…you’re not left handed are you?

Well, there goes my “fap-related” diagnosis. Good luck with it, maybe foam roll that shit? LAX ball or something?

You def need to go at that bitch with a foam roller and maybe a lacrosse ball etc. before and after your sessions to see if it helps at all.

Also, on the haircut thing… I’m thinking Corn-rows, anyone else agree?

Ink, howd i know… :smiley:

Yeah ive been hitting it with the lax ball. Im going to really dig in with both the foam roller and lax ball for a good 15-20 min on it. I had joked about corn rows at one point and was going to do them but my friend who was going to do them for me decided they wanted money since it takes long lololol

Really pleased. RDLs were tough, going to back off the weight some cause I didnt like how they looked. That superset was killer, collapsed after the last superset lol. Going to start doing more weighted decline crunches, they felt great! Overall awesome training today!!

sexi session good sir

That super set looks like tha hammie destroyer! I’m definitely stealing that and I’m gonna have to give that a try.

Nice Zercher PR as well… I don’t even know how you still have biceps after that one lol
