So the pro's vs bro's went real well. My boy won the 225 rep with 50. Deads, 315 for reps he got 37, one pro tied him the the other got 38. In the dead for 1 rep max, he did 700 and the pro beat him with 750. It was a good day, showed he could hang with them when it come to moving weight.

Dang, nice numbers, BG! Props to your guy.

Well, I'm up to hit back and the power is out. We've had 2 nasty storms roll through and another is on the way. We're the next to the last customer for the power company out where I live so it will be a while. On the plus side, there isn't anything going on at work that won't wait, so I'm taking tonight off!! Wasn't looking forward to a 7 day workweek anyway
Going to lay in the floor with the beasts and crash back out until I wake up again. Will be hitting back later tonight/early in the morning, surely power will be back on by then.

[BG]

Dang, nice numbers, BG! Props to your guy.

It was cool, lots of respect. He was on no gear, the pro's were 8 weeks out of shows so Im sure they were going strong.

Wow, would have loved to have seen that. Congrats to your buddy BG!!! Very impressive.

[itsmybody]

Well Guys n Gals...looks like I am over the hump!
Headache finally tapering off...like any crazed and obsessed person on a death mission decided to go back and attempt to repeat yesterday's legs.
@hazard you are a wicked man...that's a beautiful thing. As per your suggestion I rendered the legs useless. Not as heavy as I would have liked to go however did rep out and you are correct...by the time you get into those walking lunges you know you are gonna have some DOMS working. Thank you for the new fun!!!!

Hot freaking d*mn diggity it's nice to be getting back.

[Hazard]

So I went to my nephews 1st bday party today. Everything was going well, I was eating all sorts of foods, havin a few beers..... And then the parties fat guy says "hey bro..... What's ur workout regiment? Steroids?"

To which I said "No..... I just actually make it to the gym"

There's always one...... I was pissed off. All eyes were on me at that moment

[kelkel]

To which I said "No..... I just actually make it to the gym"

That shiat seriously pisses me off as well. People like that have no clue the amount of effort and dedication that goes into this. Which is exactly why they look the way they do. Good answer Haz. Hypothetically it would have been nice to follow it up with a bitch slap to the head but that would just be to easy.

That's beyond impressive! Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't MD cover it? If so, it will be on social media very soon!

Well, it was about an hour and forty-five minute ride but I'm the proud new owner of a set of 125 lb Powerblocks with stand. Got them off Craigs List. Look like new and dirt cheap. Stoked about this. Been wanting them for years now and they're very hard to find on CL going up to that weight. It's going to open up a lot of new exercises for me that I have not been able to do in years in my basement.

Oh snap, that's great, Kel!!! The 125s, the stand, and a good price? Can't beat that with a stick.
The regular set is only like 80-90 lbs.isn't it?

Edit: Just looked and they make more flavors of Powerblocks than I remember. Anyway, good work on finding the heavy set a nice price. That's not easy to do.

They go to 90 then you have to buy the expansion set. Seriously a great price. I could turn around and sell them now for much more.

^^^^ That's a nice purchase, Kel. I know they are high as h*ll at retail prices. Glad you got them and they definitely would flip/sell real easy.
I have a feeling they have found a home, though.

That's excellent and some achievement

[IronClydes]

Just injected last blast dose today before returning to regular trt dosage. I made some gains. May have come into an opportunity to make some cash in fitness, but it would help a bit if I were more shredded. What's a good way to shred after cycle without sacrificing gains? Helpful drugs?

230, 6', 34, 13% bf, bench 320, squat 435, dead 465.

Woo hoo, power finally is back on. The outage threw me off schedule from my back lift but it is on this afternoon. I already took something for a massive headache and am going to grab more rest.

Kel, I will be throwing in the spider/supported Smythe rows when I lift today and will post up how I did with them late tonight.

Glad as h*ll power is back on. 96°F and 80%+ humidity was forecast for today. That would have been no bueno with no power.

Will be tearing up the back muscles later and I'm already happy.

[Bio-Active]

Flat press on the smith machine with pause reps

DB Flys

Peck Deck

incline press

cable crossovers

40 minutes cardio

[NACH3]

Hope everyone's w/e was good!

Sounds like a good session Nach!


When you can put all the elements together, when you mature, when you truely understand wtf you are doing..... That's when magic happens in the gym.

I've grown so much, mentally and physically, in the last two years. This thread has helped immensely!

Big things to come!

It was a gooden....

^^ in bold... Very true! One can utilize anything fitness related(this thread) In all aspects of life - makes us better people, dedication, desire, & the Discipline(BIBs 3 Ds) we all need in both training(eating etc) and in life itself!

Likewise, this thread has changed just about everything in my life for the better! And I agree it's just the tip of the iceberg

Oh at the end of my w/o - this female competitor that I've trained w/in the past(got her number on way out) we're going to go talk more over tea/& coffee since neither of us drink lol...

[BG]

That beyond impressive! Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't MD cover it? If so, it will be on social media very soon!

Yes Dave P was there and seems like they put a lot of effort into it. Was fun, they need to do more of them, great for the sport.
