I was premature on the 405, but thought I could get it. Oh well i still got little over a month.
I weighed myself today was 181. No weight gains yet is kinda frustrating, but hopefully tomorrow will change all that.

holiday eating takes on a different meaning when you’re TRYING to gain! may you have plentiful food, and may it make you strong 
Day 3 Week 20
This was kind of an odd day as far as the workout went.
I did the Bench machine, arnold presses, and other out of my norm exercises.
I thinkn I might encorporate the arnold presses into my routine, they are alot harder.
I think I am going to add a serving of cottage cheese to every meal I eat. That should get this weight moving.

Nick! I signed up buddy and I am going to start working out today, but I will have to start out easy for the first 2 weeks cause it has been a while as you know. I swallowed a raw egg as well but I had to mix up the yoke ahahaha. Sammy was laughing at me so I made her go away ahaha. In 2 weeks I will start my own thread and I am pretty excited.[/quote]

So I am displeased with deads today. I forgot my gym bag so I didnt have my straps for grip for dip belt. I failed on the 385, I did get it an inch or 2 off the ground. I guess in the bright side My grip did not fail me and seems to be getting much stronger.
I WILL hit 385 next weeks on deads.
Outstanding Nick! You are tearing up that bench! The improvement is unbelievable when looking at your first day log. I am hoping that I can improve somewhat the same way. Really impressed buddy and keep up the hard work.
thanx gmoore and jon, it did seem to just shoot up there. Now I just gotta get my deadlifts moving. Compared to my bench it should be somewhere in the 510 range?
On another note that added cottage cheese seems to have done the trick im up to 183.5 this morning, but we will see if it continues

After the single leg press, I have had a sharp pain in my bottom right ribs. Not sure but I think I bruised them, I guess an injury was bound to happen.
I could seem to push hard, and began to hurt enough that I didnt go on to bi’s.
Guess I’ll skip tris on next chest day.
yeah best take a day off, I hurt my leg few weeks back and I tried to work through it, didnt help so I took a week off and feels fine again
Happy birthday man.
Now’s the time to think about how much bigger and stronger you are now than you were last year.
