Lol calling yourself anorexic in the strength world with a 501 pr DL at 18?

I'm the same age as you and I'm lifting half of what you do mate.

Then again I've only been lifting for like... 3 weeks at most.

thanks quitar90

225lb for reps 16!

speed work deadlift 353lb x 3
deadlift for reps 400 x 12 took a lil breath then 3 more wasnt happy about this

Damn good speed work followed by impressive numbers with high reps man.

Thanks coke, yesterdays wasnt much to mention some body weight pullups only got about 15 the first set i hate these nowadays! I had glandular fever a while back lost a **** load of strength got it all back and pullups were never the same again strange.

Also some strict milly press dam i never progress with these.

22/09/08

pause bench upto 287lb x 5 pr

RGL deadlift upto 485 x 3 then 30seconds rest 1 more then grinded out 2 a minute later.

not happy with this,
fealt stiff all day and pretty sore now.

...Wow. You're actually the person that I WISH I'VE BECOME. Hopefully, within 2-3 years, I could surpass you...

Until then, the only thing that i can give you are compliments. There are lots of freaky strong people in this site.

Samj - do you normally ramp the weights like that? I used to go all out on every set and try for 5 but for the last 2 weeks i've decided to ramp the weights instead and feel like its going to work much better.

Just wondered about your experience with it

Numbers look good man...hang tough with those military presses.

thanks alot meaty might but i should be much stronger in 2-3 years also! lol

leetuck
not to sure what you mean do you keep the same on the bar? ive always ramped it up though

thanks alot for stopping by coke, i will but not sure if to leave them out this week and do 4 board bench on friday, pressing 3times per week too much do you think?

Sorry for being unclear... basically after a warmup I basically use the same weight on the bar and my set usually get something like 5-4-4-3-3. I think ramping the weight like you do is going to be much better. Been doing it 2 weeks now and it feels much better anyway.

By the time you get to 21 your are gonna be one strong mofo :)
