Awesome benchin' Tone. How you getting on since stopping the 531 element?

**Barbaccio** · 09-29-2009 10:25 AM

Thanks Flynn. Still too early to say. I've only been off it about a week. I have a deadlift only meet in 2 weeks then after that we'll see how geared training goes.

John, thanks man. It's an honor everytime you come check out my log. I will definitely need your support in October. My training partners all have weddings and other important dates so I'll be coming up with just me and Mike "Get Nasty" Romeo. It'll be great to see you and the crew!

So lets see what the workout looked like today, Im about to go hit it in 2hrs or so.

Not sure u saw my other post, cause its on the previous page, but I do think 5/3/1 would be good for me. Until I hop into gear, I dont see any other routine giving me better results. I'd still really like to lift with you guys whenever possible.

**DGabe24** · 10-05-2009 10:09 PM

Damn man, really wanted to go with you guys...had to use every ounce of discipline to study for my Organic Chem II test instead.

5/3/1 went very well, looking forward to training with you guys next week.

What are "Sebastians"?

**Barbaccio** · 10-07-2009 05:14 AM

Sebasitan's are like front raises but harder. Take the bar off the rack. Hold it so the bar is on your belly button. Swing the bar up till it's even with your eyes. Then let it fall but only back to your belly button, no lower. I used to have a video of them up on YouTube but I think i took it down awhile ago. I'll have to see if I can get you video. These things will DESTROY your shoulders so if you do these you won't need to do a whole lot more front delt. Just hit rears and you're done.

**Cricket_Fire** · 10-07-2009 09:09 AM

I think he might show them on of the Underground Strength DVDs.. I feel like I've seen them before haha

Nice work Tone; tear it up at the Asylum!

**KarstenDD** · 10-07-2009 06:46 PM

What's the weight at Tone? Going to have to diet to make superfats?

**Barbaccio** · 10-08-2009 05:23 AM

Today I'm about 372. I am monitoring it. Since I'm only deadlifting at this meet I have to watch where the weight is at so I don't get stuck trying to get down. Pre-bloat I was hovering in the lower 360's.

**Stumprrp** · 10-08-2009 07:21 AM

your jacked dude lol

**Clifford Gillmore** · 10-08-2009 08:23 AM
