BenchPress Goal

ShreddedOne — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:42:44 +0000

A’ight. Here’s how it’s gonna work see? I’m gonna do either 175 x 12 reps or 195 x 9 reps to get my 250 *estimated* one rep max goal. (I’ll do heavier weight sometime . . . no spotter so lighter weight for now). For the rest of the year, I’ll be starting most of my workouts attempting this until I’ve achieved my goal.

Single-minded Purpose.

Arms.

Reached 16". (16" right arm, 15.8" left arm). What else is there to say? Nothin’ Speaks for itself.

Arms.

I am ALL that is MAN!

70 lb dumbbell curls. 2 reps. Reached my goal. Technically, my goal is 5 reps with the 70’s by the end of the year, but I don’t see myself having any trouble doing that.

New Goal: 75 lb dumbbell curls by June 1st.

Another one bites the dust.

Well, I can check another goal off my list. Tonight, I did 61 consecutive dips. Craziness.

Oh Snap! This shizzle is fo’ rizzle!

Maybe ice cream IS muscle food. I dunno. I got on the Tanita, and it must be broken, ’cause it says I weigh 157 and I’m 6.6% bf. Uhhhhhh, okay. Fine with me.

Let’s see. I’ve accomplished some of my goals for the year, but I still have others I’m still working on.

1) Came VERY close to doing 60 consecutive dips (59). Need to give it another shot.

2) Haven’t attempted to bench 250, but I’ve been working my chest. We’ll see.

3) Haven’t attempted the 70’s lately, but my arms are a little stronger so I may have a chance.

4) Did 240 lbs on the lat pull down. It was almost impossible for me to get down on the seat with my legs under the pads. To max out the lat pull down, I’ll have to do 260 or 280 I think. I dunno if that will happen. :/

I have 3 months. Oh sh*t better hurry. :/

Oh yeah did I mention I’m almost at my goal of 160 lbs, and I’m in the single digit bf range? Oh yeah I DID mention that didn’t I. Yyyyyyeah.

Pull Up Goal ACHIEVED.

Finally reached my goal of 25 consecutive pull ups. I can’t tell you how satisfying that is. What next? 30 of course.

Side note, saw guidos in my gym for the first time. Gelled hair, bling bling . . . one of them kept hugging on all the others : / In addition, there seem to be a few new problems since school started again.

1] people leaving their trash around. (I mean ALL OVER THE PLACE)

2] people not racking their weights (it’s not just that they don’t rack them, they’ll actually take the weights to the other side of the gym, EZ curl bars, Dumbbells, Barbells. . . and just leave them all there.)

3] guys walking around with their shirts off (this violates the posted rules).

I suspect it’s incoming undergraduate freshmen. Bunch of punks need to get schooled.

Stuff

Managed to complete 59 consecutive dips. My goal for the year is 60. I was SO CLOSE. I wonder if the goal for 2010 should be 70 consecutive dips.
Did 20 Pull ups the other day. Not too difficult. Not a personal best; I’ve done better. But still good. My goal for the year is 25.

Things are coming along. Slowly, but they’re coming. Nine months until the next Mr. SMU bodybuilding contest. One year and nine months until the one in which I’m thinking of competing. I’m not committing to it. If the time comes and I think I have a good chance of taking first place, then I’ll probably enter.

CLOSE to benching 250. Looks like I should have no trouble at all reaching that by the end of the year.

CLOSE to curling the 70 lb dumbbells. Haven’t tried it, but may be able to do it now.

CLOSE to 60 dips. By the end of the year, no prob.
NOT SO CLOSE to 25 pullups. Though, it should be doable by the end of the year.

End of 2010?

Benching 275?

Dipping 70 consecutive?

Curling . . . 75’s?

Pullups? I guess 30 would be the next step, though I’d be surprised if I could do that. That’d be nuts!

Squat. No Lie.

Estimated one rep max of 325 lbs for the squats today. If you saw my legs, you’d think I was a liar.

Speaking of legs, my calves look uneven. The right looks smaller than the left and it’s been this way for awhile. It was bothering me so much today, seeing it in the mirror while I was resting between sets, that I grabbed my tape measure and went to the bathroom to measure. Results? The measurements were the same. ???? wut???? Oh well .. .

It AIN’T a posing suit. Just don’t. You wanna show your goodies to the ladies? Buy a posing suit and wear that, or go to the proper website. This isn’t the place. I’m tired of it. :/
