is it NECESSARY to do declines to shape your pecs better or will packing on more incline+flat kinda just compensate for it?
I've heard rumors where they're not really needed but my lower chest looks like its lacking big time.

Damn tricep ladder looks sick, good thing today is chest + tricep day:fullofwin:

Just came back from SC. If they had new pins or clips I didn't see them anywhere near the squat rack. Ended up bringing out my own clips. Otherwise pretty good workout with laughable weight. It totally sucks to be 138lbs at 5'7".

theres debate on being able to isolate lower mid upper chest.. just like with upper mid and lower abs... i am a strong believer of genetics in those situations. i hardly ever do incline or decline and my chest grows fully evenly

chest and tri's today.. bringing my mom along!! :D

going for 475 dl today :eek5:

shit good luck ^^

lol yeah but she ended up going into the ladys fitness area and stayed there whole time then left and went to winners :(.. oh well I got a great workout

bah not a great work out today....
felt so outta breath for some reasons fuarkkkkk

back and sholders tonight
looking forwads to it

10x 225
8x 315
2x 450

Got 475 up to my knees couldn't pull the trigger =/

Going to try with belt + straps next week..
fuck had to take a 5minute rest to continue rest of workout, ripped shit up tho

feel like a championnnnn

Just got back from first day at sportcentral. As I finished benching I knelt down to put the weights away
and as I got up I hit the barbell with my ass and it fucking flew.

I bet you would've gotten it if you just adjust your previous sets/reps. 450 for a double is what gassed you out.

Why even bother doing 10 reps of 225? Even for a warm up, you shouldn't need to do that many reps. Especially if you're going to do 8 reps after that.

3x5 makes more sense, IMO.

man i was so zoned in and cracked out I didn't even think twice. yea, the second rep @ 450 just drained me... next week I will lift it for sure

did you use a fullsize bar?
i did em today too, but the fullsize bar didnt seem right i had to reach so far

so i used the a bar thats maybe a foot shorter than the olympic bar
did em light as i just deadlifted saturday, but they do feel rad

luckily we have some of those weights with handles built into em, so grip was dialed

tongiht was great tho, hammered new PR's on everything (except bb sholder press fuck)


cant wait for tomorrow :fullofwin:

Quick question..

Popeyes or Reflex for your LOCAL supplement needs? (so no websites, unless they have a warehouse here or something)

^xfuel on king george hwy

Yeah just a standard bar. I used as wide a grip as possible.. not quite to the plates but almost. You have to keep in mind to do them like romanian deadlifts apparently

I thought the idea was to hang on to the weights?

I guess what I'm talking about is the snatch deadlift... I'm pretty sure you get the same (or close enough) effects from using the bar with a really wide grip.. Reeves lift probbaly better for your grip tho

Thats what I did last week

Id like to give em a go when ive got some jam left in me
i only did a plate and a 25 to get a feel for it

skwats and chest tonight
about to go up and mow a HUGE lunch :D
