Try to get someone who can liftoff and spot for you on the attempt at 305. Then, when you make it, and you will, you can jump up and scream, “I’m going to DisneyWorld!”
Good looking rowing going on in here.

Once again I yield to the wealth of knowledge in the superhero known as The Charming Albino. Tony, you said I was good for 315, It was a tough rep but it went up and I never imagined it would. Harry I jumped up and said “I’m going to Disney World” but the high bay light fixtures were not impressed. I couldn’t get my daughters video camera to work, the batteries were low and I forgot to replace them. So I guess I’ll have to try again and record one for prosperity. Looks like I’d better aim for 350.
I did the rest of the exercises to failure. I more or less blasted through them.
JW’s morning act of plagiarism:
Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no EqualTM:
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar need not forsake me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks:
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the House of Community forever.
Very nice benching Mr. J_Willy.
re: caffeine – I will only say this: … “Hello. My name is SteelyD, and I’m a caffeine-a-holic”
Holy Crap JW…Congrats on the 315! Damn you moving up in a hurry!! Well done, man…very jealous goat stares at his screen…
Wow, 315! That is huge!
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Great PR!!
What was that about not out benching me in June?? Looks like school will be IN this summer.
Congratulations!!
Looks like the Bastardly Workout is working. Time for a book deal.
I aspire to bench so well as you. Nice lifting Wilson.
Thanks for the kudos guys. I sure appreciate the compliments. I just hope I can continue to keep up with all the other strong cats around here…
Nice work JW!!!
you just joined the legions of people who can bench what other squat!!!.
good job.
ps coffee is my life blood
I didnt train today. We stayed up too late wrapping presents… Going to hit it tomorrow.
Good god man, nice benching…
Looks like we might get some snow tomorrow. I have heard anywhere from 3-10". I might, FINALLY, get a white Christmas.
Just in case I can’t get on tomorrow…Merry Christmas! Hope you all have a wonderful one!
Great benching !!!
I too am a coffeaholic! (sp?)
Merry Christmas.
Fischer
I leave you alone for a week and you go and press 315. Great work!! Have a great Christmas. Eat way to much. I know I will.
Merry Christmas JW…Enjoy the family!! - Paul
Thanks for the holiday wishes all.
Bastardly back training: dateline Christmas Eve, 5:45 am (amazingly late, I know)
Cheater bent rows, reverse grip: 2x135x10, 2x185x8, 2x205x6, 2x225x4, 2x245x2
Kroc rows: 4x100x6
Hammer low rows: 4x115x6
Wide grip lat pull downs: 4x135x8
Hise shrugs: 4x315x15
I did the rows in a pyramid. Nothing really remarkable to report. Couldn’t seem to hold on to the DB’s during the Krocs. 4 sets of 6 seemed in order. Hopefully I will bench the last time this year Saturday morning. May try to get 315 again.
I just got home on a last minute Christmas shopping run. It was kind of interesting. It seemed all of southeastern Virginia was at the Best Buy. I’m thinking there are a lot of TV’s and Ipods in Santa’s sleigh. All of eastern NC was at the Walmart…Thankfully I had to shop at Barnes and Noble and Dicks Sporting Goods. I sure hope all of y’all have a nice Christmas!
JW’s stolen quote of the day: I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress. – Ronald Reagan
So, I turn my head for just a minute and you bench 315. Well, considering the kroc rows and your other lifts I think bestowing the official designation of ugly strong on you is in order. Good work, good year. You and yours have a great Christmas. Looking forward to seeing what you do next year.
Nice work, Wilson. And on Christmas Eve. All you gents putting in workouts on Christmas Eve has inspired me. Against the wife’s wishes, I am off to the weight room.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Wilson!
