Awesome benching bro! Controlled 4PPS too :shock: !!!!

Is there another way to bench press? I would try bouncing it but it would crush me I think.

Good onya H solid benching :clap:

Thanks bro. Been watching you benching 4plates so thought I better have a go.

Did legs last night... nice and simple workout.

Squats 60k, 100k, 140k, 180k/ 8 reps each

220k/ 6 ... with wraps and belt

180k/ 8

Hacks 1pps, 2pps, 4pps, 6pps, 4pps/ 8-10 reps each

Seated leg curls for 4 sets of 10-12

lying leg curls 3 sets of 10-12

Got a good leg pump and was pretty happy with how 180 felt on squats. 220 was a struggle but I think that's just where I am at now as an old guy.

Not strong enough, maybe next year once I finish with this bodybuilding shit.

[HarryB]

Just some vids... I was a bit vid happy on the weekend lol

Someone was telling me how they couldn't do chins cos they are too heavy?? lol You know who you are!

Some leg presses.. not short range of motion... short legs lol and fat guts!

240 for 4.. I video'd my fail at 280 lol but that's for me to look at and cry about!

Those bloody heavy 50k dbs.. after a bunch of bench presses they were a struggle..

[southernsamurai]

Nice training there uso!

Looks like everything is going well, all those extra cals paying off :pfft:

LOL yeah my guts is helping me lift heavier weights!!!!

Nah training is going well, just trying to thicken up a little bit and get my appetite up to speed cos I normally hardly eat much. Hence the rapid weight gain, trying to eat every 3 - 4 hours instead of my usual 2 or 3 meals a day. I need to get hungry again so when I diet I can eat enough food to retain what muscle I have. So whilst I am pigging it up at the moment there is a method to my madness.

[HarryB]

Haven't trained much this week since legs on monday cos I have been a bit congested and apparently some fluid on my lungs. Nice if I'd gone to the drs a bit earlier but I didn't think hacking up half my lung was that big a deal.

Did a bit of shoulders and back on thursday, went ok but definitely not my best work.

Today I did chest and arms, much much better.

Inc bb 40k, 60k, 100k, 140k, 160k/3 reps each

180k/2 drop to 140k/6 drop to 100k/6 drop to 60k/ as many as possible.

(Really happy that I managed 180, been a while since I did heavy inclines.)

Flat bench 60k, 100k, 140k, 160k/6 reps

160k/5 rest pause 3 rest pause 2.

Cable crossovers 3 sets of 10 - 15

Then 3 exercises for biceps and 2 for triceps.

Nice workout today. Oh and bw seems to be sitting on 117 and I'm getting a bit more used to eating. Appetite coming back.
