Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Hey, JLesk! Glad you're here!

I'm with 3Speed on this, 3 PRs in one workout is impressive! That really jumped out at me. I'm usually happy with 1 PR every now and then! Way to go!

20th anniversary! That's alright! I got saved November 27, 1987, so I guess you're my older brother! :')

Great lifting.

God BLess.

Thanks, I test my 1RM on the bench approx. every 7th to 8th heavy training day, it's usually an "easy" 1RM, but this last time I gave it all since one of my goals was a 350 bench by my 38th birthday.

The next goal is 375 by late Feb. and then 400 or "four plates" by my 39th b-day.

This new approach of training heavy every 9th day is really helping me to keep my elbows and shoulders healthy and recovered, the light workouts in between just keep the blood flowing and are like "feeder" workouts.

Peace.

Great day in the morning! 225x20? Yikes!
Congrats on the multiple PRs! Not 10 minutes ago I commented on Sauble's log about setting 2 bench PRs in one workout was purely insanity. Well, it still is! AWESOME! Keep up the killer work!

This is just an aside, and I'm asking because I'm thinking about weighing in in December. When you do killer reps like that, do you ever notice a difference on the scales? Thanks.

God Bless.

Woo..... reckon I best not do too much in the way of reps..... I'm hoping, Good Lord willing, to try one meet in the spring at 165. That means I'll have to kick my favorite supplement, Mt Dew, for a while. Don't need to go and get thick while trying to cut back. :')

Thanks for the input!

I don't like doing inclines but I needed the variety and my brother in law says I need "Upper chest", lol.

A shoulder horn is a contraption that you place over your traps and then your arms hang over it, it's designed to work your rotator cuff.

Ahhhh......midevial torture device.....gotcha! Thanks for the info! I normally (when I don't forget....) use free weights to warm up the rotator cuffs. My gym (re: fitness center) doesn't have anything resembling your description. Alas.....
