@jaymaximus there is a gourmet doughnut place in town that is banging. I'm sure they have something similar to a poptart flavored doughnut.
Holy Christ!!! How about a deep fried Poptart!!!
Anytime man.
Well guys,
Week 5, Day 1
I was prepared to go in and get a PR on my bench today. I'm subb'd to several different power lifting channels so I can research and work on my form for dead lifts, squats, and bench. I was just chilling before gym time watching some video's on dead lifting and it put me in the mood so I said bench can wait till tomorrow, let's pull.
Deadlifts: All singles
135 x 5 singles
185 x 3 singles
205 x 2 singles (I can't call it a real PR but it's a PR for me for post surgery DL.)
225 x 0 (I set up, took a breath, got tight, and stopped myself. Fear. 205 was good. No rushing it Mark. Be patient.)
Ham/Glute Raises
BW 3 x 10
Seated Low Back Machine
#12 x 10
#12 x 6
Really really hurting. I'm done. A little ice, I'll be good
198lbs. Fuck I'm so close!!!!!!
eat eat eat eat eat eat eat!!!!!!!!!!

Good job Mel, its a smart man that knows when to back off. I say work into it slowly cause im betting right now your definantly strong enough to hurt yourself pretty good if you overdo it.
Been doing those face pulls, i hope i have the same results as you. Thanks for posting that video.

Thanks for validating exactly how I was thinking at the time.
I'm convinced that with those face pulls staying strict with the execution of the movement and the full range of motion is what it's all about. The weight is of little importance because you can increase the weight during the movement, so to speak, by slowing the pace down. The real work seems to be done in the last 20% of the movement. If you short the range of motion or lean back away from it you're completely missing the true beneficial part of the movement. Keep me informed as to how it's working for you. I'm really interested as to whether this is effective or not. If it is it could really be a game changer for some people.
Right now im only using 15lbs cause i agree weight is not nearly as important as using proper form. Also i noticed that that the last part of the movement ( the squeeze if you will) is no doubt the magic part of that exercise.
And i will definatly let you know how it goes cause shoulders are a real problem for me and i feel they stop me from getting to that next level cause in most cases i have to stop benching or any pressing movement for that matter cause of pain rather than the weight being to heavy.

Update this morning on my back.
Not an issue. The pain yesterday was limited to post workout. I could tell it wasn't an injury and was only a short term issue. It was very intense though.
I'm really happy that I broke 200 dead lifting. I know that's not much but I wasn't sure I'd be able to dead lift or squat at all so the fact that I broke 200 is exciting for me. My goal is 275 by the end of this cycle.

Im glad your back is feeling good. And 200 is good. Just keep pushing yourself and youll get where you need to be!

Congrats on the PR Mel. I bet that was a hell of a good feeling
Im also very happy for you being able to do the flat bench without any pain. That's awesome man
Now just dont get carried away an hurt yourself. I have to constantly remind myself the same thing. I want to just throw around heavy weights but cant an honestly I wouldn't even if I could. This is a marathon not a sprint. I deff don't want to hurt myself an have to be out of the gym when I could have been playing it safe an chipping away at getting bigger an better with each day to come ya know

Thanks Brutus.
I weighed in at 199 today. Up 9 pounds. When I hit 200 that will be a body weight PR for me. Gonna go crush some food now.
Stuff your face, drink a half gallon of milk. Get on the scale and see that bitch start with a 2. Fuck the haters- you are already there. Keep Killin it
Everything you said is truth brother. 185 on flat bench felt good. It was nice to get under some weight on a real bench. 295 went up fairly easy on decline. I almost put ten more on to go for 305 and I stopped myself. Next week.Hell ya bro. 1 more lb an youll be where I want to be lol. Get some

Unfortunately the scale I use is a double beam at the gym so I have to wait till tomorrow to weigh in again. I guess I could have gone to the rite aid next door and chugged a half gallon after my work out and weighed in again but that would be cheating...
Tomorrow is back day. I'm getting bored with my back workouts. Somebody give me some good Lat. movements and layouts.
