Good day at the gym, saw a friend i haven’t seen awhile. Too bad he wasn’t doing shoulders, or we would of worked out.

Diet for the day.

Congrats on reaching 190… get bigger :slight_smile:

I tried looking up tricep push offs but didn’t find anything… so what are they?


Hey, i gotta keep it all in a 32inch waist ;). I refuse to get new pants…for now.

It’s basically a skullcrusher off the bar (bar is on the pins in the squat rack) if that makes any sense…I could not find that exercise anywhere so i drew a picture.

Will you hate me if I said that your pic made me laugh… hysterically? :smiley:

I appreciate it though <3

You won’t be laughing at the DOMS you will have from those in the morning. The lower the pins the harder it is.

I can’t get DOMS from them, I still don’t even know how to do them. Your stick man looks like a stunt double in an explosion-…

oh wait, I just tried it, I think.

Pretty intense.

nice! congrats on the 190 i love your diet program thing, was it free?

Man you look way bigger than 190 im about 180-185 (jump a lot) and you look a lot bigger and im only 2 inches taller!

Nikki…what kind of explosion??

Here2grow, thanks i still have a long ways to go though…i think the old saying goes. Every inch add 10lbs so…you gotta be 210 to start looking thick.

Here’s the link for that food tracker i use, it’s free. CRON-O-Meter

Didn’t upload…

No it did upload and now I’m hungry twice! :wink:

I love your pictures. Hysterical stick people AND delish food? I don’t think I can handle the win!

Somehow I glanced at that picture and immediately knew what was going on in it without any context. I think that suggests something very strange about my brain…

Keep up the nice work! I’m sure you’ll surpass my lat pulls in no time :wink:

I manage my T-Nation time so i can give the full effect, you know?

I guess exercise technique must be in your blood.

Oh, and man can only wish to surpass your lat pull strength plucky. On a serious note about pulldowns, my lats are really hard to hit so i have to be really anal with technique or else i won’t get a good workout. Hence the low weight.

I don’t think those numbers can be compared unless you’re using the same machine in the same gym.
I do my lat pulldowns on the cable system, using 100 #, but if I do a lat pulldown on a machine or even another system, I’ll have to go up to 140 or something to get the same resistance.

But you can always go to Plucky’s school and find out :slight_smile:

I can pulldown 200 if i wanted but will i feel it as good? I do see what your saying though, there is always differences in equipment. 140 is a nice pulldown :), I always think of the quote “stimulate don’t annihilate” when I’m doing assistance work. I think Lee Haney said that.

I’ve done lat pulldowns in 3 different gyms, all different numbers; 140 doesn’t mean diddly lol

The only exercises that can even be compared are free weights. A barbell will never lie :slight_smile:
