What else would you expect from a guy wanting him to bridge, and thrust with a nice fat bar?

Serious though, I’ve yet to make my move. I hope I don’t get friend zoned!!! Eeeeeek!

Start doing barbell/axle hip bridges/thrusts. I promise they will help you. Heavy and hard with em. They’ll help your deadlift lockout, and I noticed you also struggle alot with the extension of the stone towards the top. That will help alot with those aswell. [/quote]
Yeah I’ve got glute bridges on Mondays after squats. I’ll be sure to keep doing them even though it’s kind of a pain to set up lol.

Press: (this just means standing, strict press obviously)
45 10x
95 10x
145 8x Last rep of these took like 10 minutes to lock out because I suck.
Axle Clean and Jerk or Push Press or Whatever the Fuck Till it’s Over my Head:
115 3x
165 3x
205 2x
205 1x
205 1x
215 1x This took about 10 minutes to lock out too. Why am I so bad at overhead?
Bench Press:
45 10x
95 10x
135 5x
165 32x New 32 rep max! PR! Honestly not too shabby given that it’s the 4th time I’ve benched this week and done after 2 ultra grinds on overhead stuff. Also I did triceps on Thursday, but I didn’t tell anyone about it.
DB Bench Rest-Pause:
50’s 40x
rest 10 seconds
50’s 10x
rest 10 seconds
50’s 5x
Incline DB Bench Rest-Pause:
40’s 30x
rest 10 seconds
40’s 10x
rest 10 seconds
40’s 8x
Dips:
+90lbs 10x
+90lbs 8x
Did a bit of neck work with a neck harness thing (yea the gym has one of those). It was fucking sweet. I’ve never felt those muscles even worked before. I think I’ll do neck lifting like every day.
Went to a local high school track and did some sprints:
1/4 mile jog to warm up
four 50 yard sprints
two 100 yard sprints
two more 50 yard sprints
I need to figure out a way to make overhead not suck.

I don’t ever Bench anymore, but when I did I never could do it with your ‘new’ form. Ass would pop up every time. I have to do the feet tuck.
Good benching though. Real strong, and dominated those reps. [/quote]
Thanks!

Chris, you’re definitely not a good ‘pusher’. You got that beastly pull-type body. You’re like a short, not fat Brian Shaw. That’s a good thing because it shows you CAN build up a strong press. Try to work on honing the push jerk. That shit is the poor mans olympic jerk, and clearly, it works wonders.
Also, blow up your triceps more with seemingly fruitless pyramid sets filled with cumbersome weights that employ deep thinking, thus causing loss of sleep over the possibly of your tricep tearing off the bone.
Srs, you’ll be just like me.

Arm Time Fun Time
So this is something I did today and that I also did Thursday. I’ll probably do something like this at least once a week, or twice if I don’t get to do arms on Saturday. Given all the strongman training I have to fit in, I’ll likely not have time for arms most Saturdays.
I do a circuit of stuff I have at home.
One circuit is supersetting 40lb dumbbell curls for sets of 10 with average band pushdowns for sets of 20 to 30
The other circuit i’ll do is sets of 10 miniband shoulder dislocations and sets of 20 miniband pullaparts. Also I’ll do sets of 10 ab rollouts and sets of 10 full side raises with 15’s (bringing my hands all the way over my head).
I do 1 minute rest between exercises and I go until I start missing reps, which sometimes takes a while.
Anyway I hit a milestone of sorts today. For the first time in my life my arms measured 18" right on the dot. Now I realize I had a big arm pump goin, but still, I’ve never managed to make it all the way to 18 regardless. So that’s kinda cool.

135 10x
185 5x
225 5x
275 3x
315 8x beltless. Bah I should have done 10. It just takes more mental toughness for stuff like that. Your mind tells you to quit, and then after you rack it you’re like “Shit I had the strength for a couple more.”
Leg Press:
4pps 10x
5pps 10x
6pps 10x
6pps 10x

Close Grip:
255 5x paused

DB “Drop Set”:
We had 65lb dumbbells. We started with a steep incline and dropped the incline by about 4 inches each time until we were on a full decline bench. Not much rest; there were 3 of us doing this and we just rotated one after the other as fast as we could.
12x highest incline
7x lower
5x lower
10x lower
10x lower
10x flat
10x slight decline
14x full decline
8 sets going down in bench degrees each time. Fuckin cool idea huh?
Flys:
3 sets of 10

No homo but do you have some pics of recent of your physique? I feel I’ve seen some before, but you seem to have a pretty thick build.

This is from April I believe. I’m about the same looking as that now. My arms may have gotten a little bit bigger. I’m pretty top heavy. My dad is like that too. I think I just genetically build mass way more easily in my upper body. My chest is about 49"; you’d think I’d have more pressing strength than I do lol! Workin on that though; I’ve just got to build more strength in the muscle that I have.
