My bench wont fucking budge. I need to start prioritizing it. Which sucks. I hate benching. I would much rather squat and or dead lift.
Most guys say they hate doing squats or “leg workouts”, they would rather do 20 sets of curl variations in front of the mirror…ironically enough , I rarely do any direct arm work and my arms are bigger than there’s. I wish I could get a way with just squatting and dead lifting every workout.

The PR Dead wasnt easy, but didnt stall at any point.
30 more pounds to go.
After 3 months of 80 hour work weeks doing hard labor Im finally starting to get some time off. I have lost ten pounds putting me at around 187. I worked out Saturday for the first time in a long time and was surprised with the result. I had not lost as much strength as I thought I would…but weaker none the less. Good to be back.

Felt surprisingly powerful considering all the time off. Im feeling optimistic about taking my training to another level. I would like to reach a 500 dead in 4 months. My birth day is May 11th. Ill do it then.

Any suggestions on bringing my bench up would be appreciated. It is definitely a weak point.
Glad to see that you’re back, good luck with the goals,
as far as bench goes, 5/3/1 has been doing great things for mine. where does yours stall out?

My chest is my weak point as the sticking point is 2 inches or so off my chest. My delts and triceps are strong enough. My chest is under developed. I have the 5/3/1 on my computer. I might try it once I hit a sticking point.

I wanted to see where I am at and adjust my training accordingly. I got 3 and a half months to put 65 pounds on my dead. My main issue is my diet. I dont eat enough. Thats got to change.

How is your form, are you arching and tucking your elbows?

You make a good point. Ive never been one to arch much. I should try it. Im pretty good about tucking elbows. My form probably does need work. I hate benching…thats my main problem. I need to get past that.

Crap work out.
Managed a 460 dead about two weeks ago. Using Surge sure helps. My Bench is pathetic. Probably around 240. My box squat{15 inch} is at 375, which came up pretty easy, so Im sure I could do better. Im sticking with box squats only right now due to knee issues. My training has been off and on. Im hoping to stay consistent and update my log regularly.
I enjoy the feed back and recording my efforts gives me motivation. I plan on doing overhead pressing today. Ill be back. Just wanted to get the ball rolling
