Good on ya, man!

I have to say, 1 UP to that...LOL Good stuff bro...:thumb:

Mr. Flopnuts should audition for right tackle.

Make that 97th percentile. Those guys are a helluva lot stronger than I am. But I'd outrun any of their punk asses. :)

Today is chest/triceps/shoulders. Will be a great day.

I am swamped with work, which sucks because I wanted to start going to the gym twice a day for the next three weeks. Just to get in some cardio in the morning.

Finally broke through my bench press plateau. In fact, I nearly got all of 225 by myself. I had been bumping up against 210. I got it first thing. Then, went through my whole workout. And, I put 225 on the bar just to get the feel of it. Only the third time I have even attempted it. And, I almost got it. The spotter told me that he may have lifted five lbs at the most.

Best workout I have had in a while. I just felt strong. So, next Monday I am trying 215lb. I am just going to max out every Monday and try to add five pounds.

I won't rely on a bench press calculator ever again, because according to one of those, I could do 225 back in December.

If I can increase my bench 5lbs every two weeks, I will hit 300lbs by the end of the year. Doesn't sound too hard....lol. Heck, if I do it every two weeks, I will have six wheels by the end of this year.

Hope springs eternal.

Congrats again!

I had a monster workout as well. Knowing that your wife made your favorite birthday cake at home and bought lingerie just gives an extra edge to your workout lol

Great work today, guys. Happy birthday, Silock.


I, too, had a breakthrough. Did my single sets of TGUs with a 28kb kettlebell. If I get up to doing singles of all my kb exercises with a 32kg kb, I'll be "strong" in kb terms.

I just started a new diet. It consists of high protein, a sufficient amount of essential fatty acids and a moderate amount of carbs.

Actually, I would say carbs would range from about moderate to low. This diet is tough because I feel really tired and just low on energy.

Here is what Im eating throughout the day:

Breakfast:

-16 Egg Whites + 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Snack:

-Protein Shake (3 scoops) w/ 1 tsp fish oil (ascentra nutra sea) + 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries

Lunch:

-8oz Grilled Chicken Breast
-2 Cups of salad w/ 1 tbsp Olive Oil, and 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar + 1 cup of Broccolli + 1 apple

Snack:

-8oz Grilled Chicken Breast
-2 Cups of Salad w/ 1 tbsp of Olive Oil and 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar

Dinner:

-2 cans of tuna(watered)
-2 Cups of salad w/ 1 tbsp of Olive Oil and 1 tbsp of Balsamic vinegar

Snack:

-Protein Shake (3 scoops) w/ 1 tsp of fish oil( ascentra nutra sea) + 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries

*In general, Id say Im eating approximately 2000 calories. Im eating about 80 grams of carbs a day. I drink lots of water, about 6 litres per day, and lots of green tea as well, about 5 cups per day..Taking 1 multi vitamin pill and also B-12 vitamins to go along w/ digestive enzymes.

Be careful with eating canned tuna every day. My friend did that and got mercury poisoning.

Switch it out with canned salmon. About the same taste and no mercury.

You know it's a good workout when you dread doing it.

I started lifting heavier dumbbells and doing 15 pullups every other day in the park. My biceps are getting huuuuuge. :evil:

That's a lot of (unnecessary) crunches. Even 200 is way overkill. Why are you doing so much? What's the goal?

****ed up my upper back doing kettlebell snatches today. Feels like the lat (or maybe trapezius) on the left side of my body pulled away from the spine or something. Used shitty form and tried to muscle it up with my arm instead of using good technique and letting the momentum of the swing bring it up.

Anyway, this should put me down for a day or two, but it shouldn't be anything too major. Already feeling better than it did this morning.
