![]() When people talk about how much they lift, do they include the weight of the bar in their numbers? I just started using a bench press and I'm curious

![]() Yeah, the bar is 45 lbs so always add that. Assuming it's a standard bar. I've seen 35 lb bars in my gym. They're usually shorter.

![]() Alright cool, thanks. Then I guess I'll start by saying that my current comfortable lifting weight is 95. I'm going to the gym more often now so that need should start to go up soon

![]() Going to be logging all of my powerlifting progress on fitocracy from here out if anyone wants to follow what's going on.
https://www.fitocracy.com/profile/Reachg/?activities Right now I'm cutting and focusing on a few things to prep myself for some strength gains this offseason, which will be in a few weeks for me. For the time being: All bench reps are 3 second paused reps. I want to be at a completely dead stop for this to have absolutely 0 stretch reflex. I need to build to strength off the bottom to help my bench (Realized I could bench 265x5 with a 1 inch board on my chest) because it's by far my biggest weakness on this lift. I switched deadlift to conventional so I reset it @ 295 a few weeks ago. Slowly just moving it up over this cut in preparation for lifting conventional during this bulk. Squat I completely reset a few weeks ago after 3 months of recovery after hip flexor injury. Extremely light right now, but I'm trying to re-strengthen those muscles. Going to push linear progression as hard as I can on this cut for those.

![]() That's insane... Those numbers lol. I added an extra 10 onto my bench weight yesterday and it was remarkable how it felt that it was heavier, but still manageable
Also I tried my first deadlifts yesterday!

![]() Fucking fitocracy, I can't see any of the workouts I've posted since July 18, and it's really pissing me off since I was relying on this to be able to record my lifts. Pretty mad. Have no idea what is going on; keep relogging the lifts, view in feed and they show up, and then they disappear. Want to shoot this site.
Hit a 205 incline bench today for 5 with 3 sec full pause on chest. Pretty happy with that.

![]() I've been using Evernote for a long time to record all my stuff. It's cross platform so I can access it everywhere basically. I've had no issues with it so far.

![]() So I went to this city festival and my friend introduced me to a group of friends of his and the first thing the guy called david does is give me a pat on the back and says: I can tell you lift just by the way present yourself / hold yourself (not perfect translation but close enough)
This little comment at the beginning of the night made me immensely happy yo haha Last edited by Coolboyrulez0; 08-17-2014 at 08:19 AM.. |
