I can’t either. I’m 20 days out from the meet. I’ll be competing at 198.
As for the bodybuilding show, I’m still not entirely sure if I’ll do it. I’d really like to, but with trying to get ready for ROTC and being in military shape, not bodybuilding shape, it might not be too beneficial to me. I don’t have a clue how the weight classes work, so I’d assume I’d be like, middle weight?

Tag me in on this one.
Getting ready for a bodybuilding show and getting into ROTC shape will not be an optimal combination. From where you’re at, I’m guessing 3ish weeks of real focus on PT will get you into top PT test shape.

it’s a bit different for me since I’m going to a senior military college. I have an indoctrination week called FROG week where they just kick my ass for 5 days. That’s about it. Up until then, I’m free to do whatever I want, but I have to report to school at a certain date.
CS
When is this meet you’re doing again?
Saw the pics you posted. You’re much bigger than last time I saw you in a vid. Good job.
Also didn’t realise you were 20 days out - looking forward to it!

July 28. It’s a USPF meet.
CS
I just did a USPF meet. They are really strict on squat, bench was reasonable, and deadlift is pretty simple. Make sure you pick openers you can crush.

Ed’s got it covered for me. He’s been a judge quite a few times and he competed almost exclusively in the USPF (besides the IPF) and knows the ins and outs.

USPF is easy. The pauses were a tad long though.
Are you referring to Robert S. (nicknamed: Rob or Rico). He’s like 5"8, puerto rican kid, probably 20, Ed Coan did a lot of training with him, Havent heard from him in a while, wonder if he still goes there.
[quote]CSEagles1694 wrote:
Haha that’s okay, I wonder the same thing. One of my training partners is about 20 pounds less than me, but out squats and deadlifts me by about 50 lbs each. I think it’s because I’m still trying to perfect my form. Once I really nail my form down, the lifts should skyrocket. I guess my bench is okay for my size, but my squat and deadlift? Definitely not.

Don’t know anybody by that name. My training partners’ names are both Mike.

Flat Bench Press
2 X 6 X 135
1 X 3 X 185
1 X 2 X 210
1 X 1 X 235
1 X 1 X 260
2 X 2 X 280* Slow
1 X 0 X 290* Failure.
[i]NOTES: Once again, Ed wasn’t there today since he trained one of my other training partners in the morning. It fucking blows when he isn’t there because I don’t feel any pressure to perform well. Apparently this was the last day that my other training partner had work early, so Ed and the others will be there at the regular time now.
Regarding 290, I just lost tightness at the bottom. Don’t know what it is, but everything fucking felt heavy today. 280 was fine, just couldn’t get it up.[/i]
Paused 3 Board Press
1 X 3 X 275
1 X FAIL X 315
NOTES: Absolute garbage.
Paused Close-grip Bench Press

NOTES: Easy.
Dips
1 X 30 X BW
Lying Cable Tricep Extensions
2 X 10 X 30 (each arm)
[i]ENDING NOTES: Shitty workout. Whatever. You win some, you lose some, but you live to fight another day. Just couldn’t get my head into it today. Just gotta come back and kick some ass on Wednesday.
On top of that, the girl situation ain’t making it any better. I’m still pissed. I got my ass played and my heart fucked with. I’m not going to feel any better about it until I tell this girl what she did and make her feel bad about it. Gotta tell her soon or else it’ll be too late. It’s not like I even want her anymore, it’s just that I want to let her know what she did and how I feel. No way I could be with her because she could turn right around and do the same thing to me, so it’s a lose-lose. FUCK![/i]
CS
It’s all mental as you just said. It happens to all of us. Just focus on being better. ibelieveinyou.jpg

Thanks, man, I appreciate it. I was thinking about gaining some more weight back, too. I’m hoping to get back up to around 195 and maybe close to 198 as possible. That should help, as well.

In my experience, the best thing you can do with girls like that is just shut them out of your life completely. Sometimes going as far as pretending they don’t even exist. Granted, you may have reasons for remaining at least cordial like if she’s friends with people you know but even then, it tends to be that birds of a feather flock together. Quite frankly, I bet she does know and she probably doesn’t care. Sorry if that sounds a bit fatalistic.
And great work! Your hitting numbers at 17, 18? that only very recently have I been getting. Your bench is quite a bit higher lol.

Thanks, man. It’s just frustrating because I’m awful with girls already; I’m really quite and reserved. She made it easy for me to come out of my shell. We’ll find out if she cares or not sooner or later. Hopefully the former.
But anyways, my bench is kinda stuck right now. It sucks how I put 40 lbs. on in 12 weeks when I first started training, and now I haven’t put a pound on since. And yes, I’m 17 for a little while longer. I’d like to hit 315 before I turn 18.

Cmon mane, just permabulk.
On the girl think, fuck it. I wouldnt go off and tell her off because she WILL tell her friends. Just be chill about it bro, if you are and stay friends with her she could hook you up with her friends.

Looking to top out at 200 lbs. and still be able to run a couple of miles without dying. I’ll probably end up having to lose a few pounds in college, but I can gain them back no problem and get used to the increased cardio and whatnot. It will take a while, but I could do it.
And 90% of her friends already want me, but most of them aren’t so attractive -____-

Most girls in high school act like they just want a perfect boyfriends and shiz. The thing is when there in a relationship they just fuck it up and blame the guy. Honestly i would just leave her alone from now on. Not to come off as a dick but if you go up to her and tell her your pissed and all she will tell her friends and it would make you look like a baby. At least at my high school.
Anyways nice training session. Your GC bench is awesome.
