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

[meatymight]

...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.

[leetuck]

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

[Coke]

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

[samj]

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?

[leetuck]

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
