60x10
70x8 slow down fast up

did some cables for em to
i really need to start blasting these things again

[BigNic]

i think you should pull out your tampon and do the skulls with a close grip and use the flat bar. Your elbows will bitch for the first few days but after that it will be real

[lilmase1153]

damn bling nice w/o you got a strong bench.... but i agree with bignic those skulls are a good a** routine , just try it next time it wont kill you...

[BlingMeter]

i usually do skull crushers. but yesterday i feltt like my elbows were to wide out. are your elbows supposed to point in front of you when u do em? i used the ez curl bar and held it in the closest grip. ya the straight bar i love. i guess ill screw the ez bar and stay with the straight bar. how far do u suggest i keep my hands apart 8-10"?

[BigNic]

i keep my pinkies on the edge of the smooth

[BlingMeter]

these bars have alot of smooth to em... u must be talking shoulder width apart then. just the way the elbows are that confuses me.


on a side note, DAM does my chest hurt. either that 285 bench or those 70lb du mbell flies. or both. YIKES. i can feel it a little bit in my tris to. todays bi day. screw forearm pain if it happens when i let go. barbells help me grow on bi's. im taking clacium pills to see if that helps. so until then ill bb to post again tonight!

[BigNic]

no not shoulder with. I do them with a grip that is about 5 inches apart.

[BlingMeter]

ah ok. and what do u do about ur elbows. let em point out or what? i hear having em point towards your legs kills em nice

[BlingMeter]

[BlingMeter]

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

get a load of this.

315x2.5 i went down to my chest 2 reps and went for a 3rd but had my bro spot me a bit for the extra rep. he says he was barley helping so possibly in a few months i could be lookin at 315 for 5 reps. as soon as i put down the bar i shot up and had the biggest smile on my face and yelled out WOO HOOOO!! I was so happy i didnt know i could be so happy. WOW My first goal i had for 3 months and i beat it by a **** load. I love u guys :hump:

oh man i feel so good!

dumbell flies
50x7
60x7

did some ties but thats not important right now lol. I DID IT!!!!!!!

[BlingMeter]

wow no ones cares. my biggest acheivement

now THAT hurt :(

[lilmase1153]

whoa nice strong lifts bro.. and yes i care...

[BlingMeter]

ha do i sense disbelief! one day when i get the know how of posting vids etc etc ill put one up. who knows how long thats gonna take. prob 50 years. next goal i set for the middle of dec. I dont know if thats to early or not, but the goal is to do 315x5. I might be able to do it, just gotta complete 3 more clean reps.

[briancurran01]

nice work bro...strong lifting man

[BlingMeter]

today sucked. it was bicep day

tried standing barbell curl
80x7
95x7
115x5 <--- 5th one was pretty difficult
gave up on that and went to barbell preacher
95x7
80x7

then did one arm standing dumbell curl
50x7
40x8
30x8 one right after another

hammer curls 30x6 then 40x5

a really disapointing day for me. its like i lost my curling mojo, and i love my bi's. perhaps it is cause im tired today i hope so next week i dunno what im gonna do if 120 doesnt come easiily to me.

and taking calcium pills has seemed to stop my forearm pain after letting go of the bar. SO pills works for me!


but then again as i look on my previous journal up above i was at 115 still. looks like im gonna have to make a goal. my new goal is to curl 120lbs 5 times by the middle of dec, same goal as benching. Ill show you all whos got the power!

[Nito]

Those BB Curls are looking good bro!

[BlingMeter]

Shoulder and legs today

Seated barbell shoulder press
135x10
155x5 <-- seemed a little to easy
200x5 + 2 forced reps

i guess i finally got outta that rut of 185lb shoulder press for barbell!

DUmbells seated
60x7
70x7
80x5 <---- grr i gotta get 8 before i can move to 85's :(

NOW i didnt do squats cause the fear of hurting it BUT i did get the balls to try some leg presses. I took it easy and put one plate on each side and did about 50 reps each rep id go SLOWER and the last 20 reps i went deeper slowly and slowly and let it really stretch my back. Then i threw on 2 plates and did about 30 reps went slow and let it stretch my back slowly. Threw on 3 plates per side and did about 20 reps and really gave my back a stretch and went slow. Im really feeling good about this and didnt pull my lower back out. I felt a really nice stretch in my lower back and i was happy, Quads finally got an ok work out from that. SO all in all im happy so I think I will stick to leg presses for a bit and try to get the lower back into it.. Squats im about scared right now lol. But the point is im trying to fix it and i feel good! Thanks for listening!!!!!

[lilmase1153]
