I dated this chick a bit over a year ago who was an ex body builder and now just curvy with big boobs. But she was an alky and got a dui shortly into the relationship so I broke it off. Well I guess maybe that kicked her into a fitness frenzy because she got super fit in the last year and just placed 3rd in some competition. The transformation is pretty incredible but then again it's easier for a prior fitness competitor to get it back than some random who hasn't worked out before. I'd post a picture from her Instagram but some goon would likely find her and harass her.

drat, I only got 155 for 3x5 on Bench Press tonight. The 5th rep on the 3rd set barely went up so I just left it at that, plus a backoff set of 5 at 135 like a minute after. I have been drinking a little more than usual the past few days, need to get that back under control so I'll blame it on that and try it again next week. Also tried Romanian Deadlifts, they felt weird I'm not sure if I did them right. I took a video and my back seemed to stay straight but I may have bent at the knees too much.

Yeah, I watched the Alan Thrall video on it. Basically I hinged my hips back and go down until I feel a stretch, but without going down far enough to pull my hips into a posterior tilt. I'll upload the video later for form check when I feel like it. It did feel like it'll be really helpful for teaching me to be able to put deadlifts down more controlled. What weight do you guys usually use compared to your regular deadlift? Right now my regular deadlift 5 rep max is probably around 225. I started at 95 and worked up to 145 doing 6 or 7 reps per set. It felt pretty easy but I didn't want to go real hard until I feel confident on form. I think I managed to go a couple inches below the knees at the bottom.

did you yell "ARNOLD!" a bunch when you started failing? ARNOLD! is the most powerful one but there are other spells you can use to complete your sets for example take a look at Swiss Olympic shotput/discuss guy and all-around muscle blob Richy Bruch putting one of his favorites into action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpqksKiImCk&t=179s

Also, there are usually people at the gym so I don't do dumb poo poo when they're around. Oh yeah, they put duct tape around the hook after when they put it back up.

No gym today, went hiking instead. The deadlift soreness kicked in halfway through, and I started feeling the hills in my rear end. Good times were had, as was fried chicken.

Wait what's this stuff about bench press being unnecessary?

Decline and incline cover your pecs entirely and are much more natural motions. Some bodybuilders only bench when they're making a video because the motion can be stressful on the elbows/shoulders. Keep in mind this is from lifting 4 plates or more repeatedly not from putting up 185lbs. I still do it though because it's a nice bragging lift, throwing up 365lbs for a few reps makes me feel like an adult.

Ah gotcha, thanks, I thought they were referring to all the chest-focused presses, not just flat bench.

I was just joking around, i'm not sure what he actually meant. i'm pretty sure there is definitely room for both bench and overhead press to get along It was more the first point. But I tend to alternate, if I'm going heavy on the bench one day, I'll do lower weight less reps and do lateral raises, and then the other upper body day, I'll go heavy for the overhead press, and the lower weight higher reps on dumbbell incline. I found trying to go heavy on both chest and shoulders was hugely counterproductive. In other bench news, I got 3 sets of 3 reps at 90kg on the bench this morning
