This is a goal I would freakin go crazy once I achieve it Smile

I believe this will be a semi short term goal. As of right now I bench 225 for a 3x3 which im very happy about as well. My bench has been flying up doing a 3x3 twice a week but im sure ill hit a platue doing it soon. Because right now its been going up 5 pounds each time I do it which is insane lol. Thats 10 pounds a week...and I know if I heard someone saying this I would think there full of it but its working magic for me. Right now I believe my 1 rep max is 250 and I think ill begin to slow down on gains when my 1 rep is at 260. So im setting my goal date on 5/05/2008 to be benching 300 at 180 pounds. If I succeed a good ol DB shirt is going in my room as a present to myself Smile

ZZzz so early lol, but any how last night I did...

3x3 hang cleans with 135- just starting to do these
Cable pull backs with a rope for 8 plates for a 10x3-my new favorite exercise : )
Barbell curls with 80 for 12x3- stinks I cant move up unless I want to jump to 95 pounds so Im waiting till I can do 15 reps good form then do the jump.

Overall a 9/10 I loved doing the two exercises I never really done. Really really love the rope pull backs those are killer. Looking to go to 145 for clean and 9 plates for pulls next week.

I think your going to keep progressing quickly. My prediction is 275 is going to be a struggle to get over. It may take a bit longer then the 250 took you.

I'm so scared about tomorrow I think ive ruined it for being a good workout. Yesterday I was bagging then got mad how I didnt have much endurance so I just kept going at it forever intill my shoulders were totally dead. Then today I jump roped forever which even tired my shoulders out more. And now I have to bench tomorrow and I bet my shoulders will not be able to handle it now Smile

Urgh I didnt workout out today Smile

I was scared to in the morning because of my shoulders being so worn out. So I planned to do it later after me and my girl talked about everything thats going on if we should be together or not (were still together Smile

) But then out of NO WHERE my dad calls from work telling me he has to have me go into his work from 10-2:30 in the mornin (why im on so late) so then I was ticked because I knew I had to go to my girls hows and get this seatled so it dont keep going on and on. So I ended up not working out Smile

I also think im going to go back into more of a bodybuilding routine now that my bench is up there and im sure im about to hit a platue and if so this will help me keep on going. Prolly going to do a 5x5 on chest day which is still a very good strength gainer

Today...
Flat bench- 195 for a 5x5 went to easy Smile

going to try and do 205 next time so its nice lookin a 45 and a 35 pound plate.
Incline bench- 45 pound DB highest weight I got for 12 reps
Then I did it with a barbell with 135 for 10 reps
Flies- 30s slow and controlled felt great for 2 sets of 10 reps
Side shoulder raises- 10 lb for 15 reps then 15 lb for 10 reps nice and slow felt real good also Smile

My shoulders were still craped from that day I tried to push myself hard doing bags. So I think next week ill be able to do 205 on the 5x5 which will be real nice. Abs are still sore from yesterdays ab workout feels awsome Smile

just a nice light soreness
