Good session again. This was the 7th day of the V-diet and I still had a ton of energy while training. Strength seems to be fine still. It’s funny that my grip can hold a ton of weight with a mixed grip, but my grip was failing on those barbell rows with a double overhand. Next time I’m going to up the weight a little and use straps. I need back work, not grip work. My curling strength sucks too since I never do it… probably should more often.
I GET MY MEAL TONIGHT! It’s crazy how much I can’t stop thinking about it. I might even do two meals. One dinner and then a smaller meal later. I don’t think it’s a big deal if I do that. I think the “1 meal a week” strict guidelines is so people know exactly what they have to do. I’m pretty strict with myself and so far this diet is really easy… but I’m still really excited for some real food tonight. BIG ASS STEAK FILET AND SWEET TATER HERE I COME!
Deadlifts tomorrow morning. Good timing with the meal tonight then… and then my first V-diet challenge on sunday when I go to the gym with my Mom.
Scot wanted me to let u know pete that he just ordered a slingshot type thing. Its the beginning of the whoreness!!! Should be fun to try im sure hell post bout it later

haha I think you are underestimating the degree of gastrointestinal distress that you will be experiencing after the first meal–you probably won’t even WANT a second one by the time its done haha…for realz though, its not a big deal, but I know that there’s no way I would want another meal after the HSM…i would barely be able to get my shakes down for the rest of the day…

That dirty little whore. Yes, the Slingshot is the bridge. Tried it a few times, very well mimics the groove of shirted benching. Fun toy.
actually, i ordered the new Titan Ram. i saw a new thread started about it in the powerlifting forum and figured it would be a good way to train supramaximally without having to put on an entire bench shirt.
i guess i’m not a total whore yet… maybe just handjobs behind the 7 eleven for $20.
i ordered it today and i’ve already recieved a notification that it’s been shipped. hopefully i’ll get it before the next bench day. i plan to work up to 515 next week and if i have the Ram, i’ll see what i can do with that after all my working sets.

bench- during this cycle i’m going to see how high i can push my touch and go bench after doing my 5/3/1 sets. last week i worked up to 495x2. tonight i worked up to 505. my bodyweight is below 250 in the mornings. i weighed in at 250 fully clothed at the gym tonight. this is the lightest i’ve been in a long time but my strength seems to be climbing so i’m happy.
But I thought losing weight equaled a shitty bench? All the rules are being broken, I don’t know what to do…
Quite possible. Although my gas is already pretty profound. Scott and Bill can attest to this. We will see how it goes.

I like squatting in a heel so I am hoping that these will be really good. All the reviews say they are amazing, but the stock of them has been sold out everywhere… being hand made will do that I guess.

270x7 on Millies, thats freaking crazy weight.
I keep hearing that folks like the thumbless better on MP. And for some reason it lets you add weight over a full grip, why would that be?
It’s definitely something I might try, it would be much safer than a thumbless bench grip, since you aren’t trapped under the weight on an MP.[/quote]
i use a thumbless grip on all pressing movements. placing the thumb under the bar gives me more surface area for the bar to rest on and it keeps the bar over the forearm bones allowing for better leverage. when i wrap my thumbs the bar tends to roll back into my hand. [/quote]
I’ve been doing the thumb under the bar since we did back in the old days !

yep… i’ve never looked back since then.
hey… i left you a message the other day. did you get it??
Didn’t do too much on deadlifts. Will go heavier next week if the diet isn’t getting to me yet. The bench got hard on those last sets, haha. Short rest times catch up to you real fast… I stopped at two sets on those situps. First time doing them and they are almost like doing a hanging upside down situp. Abs were cramping a bit after that last set, and I didn’t wanna get a cramp hanging there by myself, lol.
