Re: Misc. progress thread

I feel you there Reach. I am busy with school, but i'm starting to feel fat. So I think I decided after this test tonight I will be waking up earlier and getting to the gym before school.

IDK what my maxes are or any of that. I tend to go for push the weight until i can't anymore in the 5-10 range, lower end of that range being the last set which is also heavier. I have shitty wrists so I need to invest in some sort of supports but i'll worry about that down the line since they seem to have gotten better since i joined the gym.

I haven't been to the gym in over 2 weeks. Been way too busy with school work =(

Re: Misc. progress thread

I have a new limit on bench and deadlifts now, decided to go a little further today.

I am doing 3 sets of 5 bench at 110lbs now, up from 90. Adding the extra 20 came as a surprise, but it didn't hurt.

For my deadlifts I'm doing 5 sets of 3 and I broke 150lbs today! I am also thinking of going with someone to help me learn squats, so hopefully soon I'll have another set of numbers to post.

I think so

Re: Misc. progress thread

203 lbs

Not sure if fat or swole. Can still see abs, so I'll try and convince myself that I'm swole.

Might start a cut in the new year. Not sure yet.

Re: Misc. progress thread

149 lbs ayyy
dropped the silly 5-day bb split and am on 3-day 5x5 (sl) with some small additional work after each day (one or two of dips / arm work / pullups, chinups mixed how i need / want it)
have been progressing perfectly, no single stalling on a lift so far. also learned to love the squat, which i thought i would never say a few months ago.

Re: Misc. progress thread

Been doing a lot of upper body training. Got my max bench press of 185 pounds for 1, ran my personal best mile of 4:58, and am currently also doing Intensive EMT (Explosive Muscle Training) to best my previous 6 foot clearance last year to about 6 foot 4 (1.93m) and rank in the top 10 in NYS

Re: Misc. progress thread

Hit at 235x6 incline bench PR the other day @ 202 lbs. Pretty fucking happy with that. All reps to chest gently.

If only my flat was even nearly as good as my incline, lmao.

Decided for sure that I start my cut in the new year. Time to get ripped and shredded out of my marbles.

Who told you it was the devil?

The misconception is usually that people think you HAVE to run to lose weight, which isn't true.

But it's certainly not harmful. For many people it can work quite well if they like it.
