I LOVE MY AGE RIGHT NOW!!
I am going through some form of test hike, and im ****ing LOVING IT, ive gone from 160-161lbvs last month to a now solid 168lbs, and im getting TONNES stronger, todays lifts just felt like a piece of piss, i just didnt seem to run out of energy, i was there for 1 hr 20 minutes and i just felt like doing another hour, i didnt feel worn out AT all. Its great!
benchpress
Rather than changing grips, i thought id just utilise an entire exercise into wide grip AND slow, as usual, wide grip means less poundage, not in my case, i have got SERIOUSLY stronger, even on wide grip and slow reps i managed to bust out these wicked lifts.
(12 6 last time so 10 8 this time)
132lbs x 10 (PISS EASY)
143lbs x 8 (PISS EASY)
137.5lbs x 10 (STILL EASY)
148.5lbs x 8 (Started to feel a tad worn out, but i still managed the 8 pretty easily.)
I reckon i could push out 155lbs for 10 reps pretty easily on standard grip, i reckon i can now MAYBE max out on 200lbs
the big 200!
Thing is i didnt have a spotter-so ****.
I then did some HST lol, even though il be doing them tommorow, i started deadlifts.
132lbs warmup
220lbs for 12 reps (EASY)
265lbs for 1 rep (dont know what happened here LOL)
Incline dumbells for 12 and 6 (IM GETTING ****ING STRONG STRONG STRONG BITCHES!!!)
I used to do 10-8-6 (which failed to 10-8-4-) at 45lbs 50lbs and 55lbs dumbells.
Heres my new strength
50's for 12 reps
60's for 6 reps
50's for 12 reps
60's for 6 reps
Slow as well
Kept to 4 sets
No direct tricep or shoulder work today, bench and incline bench is enough
I then went on to do preacher curls (dumbell)
2 sets of 10-8 reps with 30's for 10 and 35's for 8 with fast motion
preacher curls (barbell)
2 sets
1 set of 12 at a whopping 80lbs
1 set of 10 at a whopping 100 ****ING LBS BABY!
Im feeling severely energetic, heres the crazier part, ive been off creatine for 4 days now, because i havent been working out much i postponed it temporarily, back on it tommorow though.
I LOVE MY NEW GAINS!
At this rate il probably start slowing down at 175lbs (same bodyfat) and have HOPEFULLY a 220lbs bench max
maybe nearly 400lbs deadlift max
and be curling the oh so wanted 110lbs so i can use the big daddy plates and have people watching going "**** he curls more than i bench!!)
Oh yes, twistedlink is finally getting them ****ing gains ive been bitching about not getting for years.
I dont know whats gonna happen when i reach mid twenties, or thirties, men just get beastly in my family at 30, and if im already 220lbs 6-8% Bodyfat by age 30 (im aiming to get to that aged 25) im going to add on tonnes of mass
If my dad can manage 275lbs (around 230-235lbs lean mass) and is 2 1/2" taller, and doesnt even LIFT WEIGHTS OR DIET TO GAIN MASS
Then i have the genetic capability to maybe reach as high as 250lbs 6-8% Bodyfat, it will take YEARS, and the gains will be SLOOOOW (like 5lbs a year from constant hard work)
But me at around 230lbs lean mass, thats insane, i want to be less than 230lbs including fat, and i could get to weigh more just by lean body mass.
Its years away, and who knows, but im feeling great, and im glad ive got my genetics ROFL.
