Worked out with my friends today. Did chest. The last time I did chest with an RS member, I benched my max at 50lb, it was hard, but he told me I could do it and helped me balance it. When I benched 45lb today with my friends and could barely do a rep, they told me its too heavy and I shouldn't do it and took my dumbells away. Should have told them to :gtfo: the gym if you're not ready to push limits

It's fun to max out once in a while, but not every time you work out. Your friends are right that it's too heavy, you aren't accomplishing anything doing 1 rep IMO. Why not do a lighter weight, and work your way up?

Had a pretty sweet back day today...feel myself getting stronger and stronger. Gratifying!

Bunch of pussies. Won't even bother. I've seen worse at the Oval. 3 asian guys hogging 3 machines beside each other for 2 hours and chilling and swapping around. :facepalm:

doing my 2 week rest. back in the game next wednesday.

just curious.. how often do you guys drink beer or alcohol ( empty calories )

Once a year maybe 2,3 times max

I don't drink much at all.

I might need to skip the gym today. This cold is kicking my ass :( Supposed to be shoulders today but we'll see.

Berz out.

i hate getting sick and the energy/strength is taken out of you

Honestly I've had my drink run during the playoffs but cut back big time from there. I do have a sip here and there still but I don't party hard and get smashed anymore.

Hate the hungover feeling.

I seriously try to limit how often I drank, typically it doesn't go over once a month (I guess it depends on age too, i'm 21, so i'm always in the drinking scene) But after playoffs/summer/vegas/kelowna I feel like I set myself back months. It's not the hangover that gets me, but the "gym hangover" -which has me lifting at least 10% less for a few days after. I remember HALO saying a few months back that if you drink, you basically make your day at the gym useless.
Chronic FTW!

Feel good :D
15 min warm up jog. Deadlifts, back and bi. Then i did 20 minute of skipping rope.

Who here microwave their eggs?

chest & tris today, any1 else flat dumbbell press alot more in comparison to their bench?

chest & tri today too :D going after jersey shore LOL and doing bench more then flat DB press. I can't seem to get perfect form for DB's, so i try not to do them as much, although i should do them so i can get the form better

Yep I can DB press more than guys who are Barbell benching. Not sure why although I have DB pressed way more in comparison than my barbell benching. Since I rarely have a spotter I find it safer to use DB's rather then bar.

Berz out.

We're talking both DBs combined, right? If that's the case, my DB bench lags behind my barbell bench.

I don't even barbell bench anymore. Just DB, for the same reason as Berz.

BTW, BaoTurbo, just some encouraging words. Back when I first started, I had difficulty doing 50 lb DBs too. I think I started with 35s or 45s, can't remember. LOL I used to wobble holding them. Now I do 85 lbs, no wobble, happy to say.

i partied way too fucking hard this weekend. something about thousands of hotties in bikinis and booze flowing got me in the mood :D

im still payin for it :(

same here i was up in kelowna for the center of gravity.
Boobies and ass everywhere
drank way too much but my lifts didnt suffer

Is it me or did most of the guys out there seem to be on something?

Since I've been resting my back this week, I've been hitting my chest hard.

New PR for flat DB press: 8 reps of 110lbs. DBs

i was at CoG all weekend too

by on something do you mean juice or blow? cuz... well. yes to both. hah

i just got home from gym n was wearing tight shirt

uncle : dam you starting to grow pecks eh ?
me : no pecks, no sex

:troll:

Okay thanks for the offer, whats your name? Ill holla at you if i go there at that time

Can't fucking sleep til 2-3am these days and have to wake up at 6:30-7ish for work. It's either the summer heat or the fact that my mind seems to be racing these days or both. Totally sucks when you have the best chest workout of your life and end up sleeping for 3 hours that night :(

too much prework out close to bedtime??? if so then maybe cool it on the serving size or run to burn off all the extra steam
