Hey man for skull crushers, if you want more bang for your buck, lift up your head off the bench.  You'll feel it in your abs.  It also allows for greater range of motion.

No the leg press is not the same as doing squats.

well dips kicks my ass so then going to bench seems like it would be pretty tough.  Dips use a lot of lower peck too if you go all the way down.  your chest is probably week compared to you tri's.

Obviously Matt is not human.  He loses 50lbs of fat, gets ripped and keeps strength with big maxes all in 6 months or something.  You can't be compititive with some sort of alien can you?

Some friends came to visit this week who hadn't seen me in about 6 months and they looked at me like I was an alien. So I guess it all makes sense now. No reason to go on pretending to be human anymore. Cats out of the bag!

Jason knows we each have our strong points and week points, he just likes to think he should excell at anything and everything. I need to start my own journal so I can talk about how much better Jason's deadlift is and how rediculously huge his arms are. Yeah, that's what I'll do! I am pretty proud of my bench though. I'm shooting for 300 1RM at hopefully 160lbs. BW next time we max. Maybe one day I'll be proud of my squat and deadlift #'s as well.

Jason you need to hurry up with your cut. You know you won't want to keep doing it when I start bulking. TRUST ME! Of course I think its only fair since I had to watch you eat ice cream and pack on muscle while I was eating turkey and tuna sandwiches.

Tuesday ---- 7 - 8 - 08 ----  Current weight = who cares?? haha

It rained, and we played tennis for about 1.5 hours.   2 full games with doubles.   1rst game went very well for me.  Serves were SOLID, and i had my topspin going on a good portion of my forehand shots.   still need to work on placement and backhand topspin.

*got honked at by some chick that drove by.  that made me feel good.  she liked the hot sweaty man-meat she saw running around on the tennis court smothering that yellow ball*

also need to work on letting my emotions control the game.  They get the best of me sometimes.

Either way.. lots of fun.  I'm addicted to tennis.   AND WE GOT A SHUTOUT on our first game.  It feels good when you are not only feeling unstoppable, but digging yourself out of holes when your down 40-love and end up winning it. 

Tomorrow = back/biceps.   Hope deadlifts felt as good as they did last time.  the upper 200's on deads were feelin' REAL solid.  i feel that i'm making some good gains in strength so far in this exercise.

BB Rows  3x5 --140/145/150

Incline DB Curls  3x1 (4 holes showing in chair) ---- 55's - got the right arm up, but not the left....   so i switched to some heavy sets of standing DB curls.   did 45lb DB's 4 x's, followed by 50 lb db's 3 x's.

then did some ab exercises.

Sounds awesome, haha. I have the same problem as well. Lately though, I've been playing a lot of tennis (every day this week) or some racquetball or hardcore bball in the gym, and I lost like 3 lbs I think. I think it might just be water or something, but it still stinks either way.
