Some kid on another board and I decided to have a contest to see who could do the most dips with 135
We both ended up with a tie at 4. You can see how gay my gym is. I really miss my home set-up.
I managed another double and a triple at that weight in the same workout. It was a real good day.[/quote]
Yup, your gym is pretty ghey. That was nice work on the dips though.

Thanks dude.
Yeah, I had a sweet set-up a while ago. Powerrack, bench, chains, bands, boards, various bars, platform, and then my basement flooded with 15" of sewage and a lot of it got hit. I’m in the process of rebuilding, but have to contend with this nonsense until then.

Was this with or without the Hulk costume. I assume the costume gives a carryover similar to a high-end bench shirt.
Mate your looking some with hulk numbers without costume im hitting 500 easy mate.

haha. You better make sure you have both Superman and Spiderman spotting you then, I don’t think Spidey could handle that kind of weight alone.
2 pr’s today
close grip banded press
185x1 and close grip inclines 195x6
Finally pressed the inch dumbbell yesterday! I’m so pissed I didn’t get the video. Thankfully, it was somewhat easy so I will get one soon. This is a goal I’ve has since I started strongman over 3 years ago, so it was a great day.
Monopoly
Box Squat
500lb x 6
That’s the most weight I’ve put on anything but the leg press. I’m getting there.
After this I was taught front squats. I don’t know how the fuck you people support the weight, maybe I’m just built oddly. But anyway I got up to 185 x 10 as a starting benchmark.
Did some good lifting today.
The bench was a PR not off boards. And the squats were just a straight up PR. No wraps, and still a bit to go to get depth tho;
Bench - 200kg x2 (final set)
Squats - 280kg x3 (sets 3, 4 and 5)
I pulled 405 for the first time ever on Tuesday.
I was pretty happy about it.

Nice job! Are you able to clean it off the floor as well?

I wish! I can break it off the ground, but that’s it. Deadlifting it is another goal, but I honestly have been lacking on grip training.
just found this and thought it was awsome
Not really a strength PR, but I did 1-arm DB rows 100lbs x 30 today. Previous was 22 reps. Biggest DBs in the gym so time to move on from that exercise.
AWPC lifter, training for the Canadian Powerlifting Nationals in late May 2009.
Current lifts:
Squat - 728lbs (in competition and training)
Bench - 505lbs (451 in competition)
Deadlift - 607lbs (in competition and training)
Total - 1786 (in competition)
Training to achieve the following in late May:
Squat - 800lbs
Bench - 540lbs
Deadlift - 650lbs
Total - 1900 (and hopefully more; even though hope does not have anything to do with it)
Stay strong
tonight was the last bench session of the four week cycle. finished with a 5lb PR over last week. feeling a bit beat up though. next week will be a deload week.
reverse band bench press- 640x1
“train more and worry less about what others are doing around you”
295 X 10 ATG squats… felt like a sack of shit after that set.
rep PR, i’ll take it!
Woot! 315 x 10 on bench. Missed the tenth rep last week but got it yesterday.
