haha i would if you came down to richmond

I have a slight dad bod. Nothing major. 32" jeans. I was 210, now sitting at 250 so I would say I didn't lose much of anything. I never dipped below 240 at all. My strength took the biggest hit but that's coming back super fast.

Been 3 weeks back now and the difference is very noticeable!

Tour de france started Sunday Got dat der test flu now though.... fucking sucks.

Where do you guys buy your workout gear?

I don't need anything flashy but rather some quality affordable pieces ie. T shirts and shorts w/ pockets.

Target or Walmart

All about that winners man. Workout clothes for days. Sometimes you can get lucky with foam rollers and stuff too

Took a look at winners today, saw some UA and Adidas "dri-fit" shirts for $19.99 to $24.99. Sweats started at $39.99.

That's essentially half of the retail store prices!

Fuark men. Noob gains again. Loving this comeback. Feel like I'm getting bigger by the day. 257lbs today. Up 7lbs since New Years. This is compounded with the fact that I'm losing the slight belly I seemed to develop after a year off. Strength is coming back nicely too did 7x10@225 today for bench.

Berz out.

Hit 315x1 on bench for the first time since my layoff. Plus did 125lb db's after. Old man strength to the rescue!

Hit a PR for 345 x 1 Kinda shitty forum but I still got it up

Did a PR for my floor Press for 315 x1 ( bailed heavy on the second rep )

Everyone making these PRs and gains. And I'm here still tryna gain my off season weight back and then some.

dude u need to touch ur chest for it to count lol

Exactly, those are not real reps. Why not bring the bar to your chest like you should??

try and touch your chest next time. good lift tho!

finish the rep, then rack.

I can't take that guy seriously for some reason...

Here's some good overall tips on benching:

How about a 355 x 1? made sure the bar touched the chest =)

awesome !!!!

Thanks! Still chasing that mystical beast 405... But my Deads are getting better only thing I need to work on more are my squats and different variations of squats. Anyone have any tips?

Broke my tib/fib on he 12th . Itching to get back to the gym next week and at least be able to do core and upper body

you have a lot of explosive strength. clearly, good genetics for the compound lifts. not a lot of people can do 315+ at your weight.

form is shit though, very little of your bench is coming from your leg drive. Also, your lockout is virtually non-existent. Yeah you touched your chest, but you actually have to finish the lift rather than letting your spotters curl it for you. Wobbly as fck too, maybe switch over to the smith machine. If you want to learn how to bench, ask sid vicious to send you some vids.

I've been doing the 5x5 Program since Sept. Worked my way from 185lb squats to now 385 lbs squats parallel.

In high bar position, I'm noticing when I go down, the bar slides down slightly forcing me to roll it back up when i go up.

How can I correct this?

thanks

squeeze your traps into the bar more?
