marcodeniro’s Tansformation log

It was unplanned and actually blind sided me. However it was awesome and fullfilling and left me wanting more. I took daughter to gymnastic this afternoon. while waiting I walk casually over to the gym and there she was all 90 lbs of her/I mean there was the smith machine all loaded up with weight 90lbs with the bench under her/it.~i had just done chest monday so I’m thinking let me toss this up a couple of times~pressed out 2 sets @10 reps. As with any good thing, you of course want seconds. So I threw2 to quarters and busted 8 reps @2sets. that felt real good I wanted MORE. So two dimes were close by snatch those up and throw on I was good for another 2 rounds @6 reps. whew It really felt good!! So my main workout today is bi/tri’s not wanting to feel guilty i do tricep extension and preacher curls to warm them up for my evening workout. Afterward I somehow found myself over by the biangular chest press{a Magnum Machine}~~thinking I might as well I insert the pin @150 push it out once ~easy
pull out and Pib @200 and bust 4 Sets@6 reps WOW truly astonished.

 Now I’m feeling real good I take it out and pib in @250 toss that up for another 2 rounds @2 reps. I am a JUGGERNAUNT. I TAKE A BREAK~about a min~yank the pin and ram it in @275 and guess what …….Yup…….Yup……you Know it………U Freekin KNow it. press it up slowly but surely all the way to I am extended fully YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Wait 30 sec and did it again. I tried the whole stack 312 could not budge it
Woww oh wow oh wow
Thinking to myself oo its just those crappy @$$ magnum machines. I walk over to hammer press machine and load it up 110 on each side. Surely this will tell no lies. I pushed it 75% of the way 8 times for 3 sets. My lil daughter was watching by this time. I tried to show her daddy was a JUGGERNAUNT but I was spent. AS I write this I feel the soreness from my activities quickly seeping in my muscles. I am just smilin thinking how wonderful that was hoping its not just

Come to find out after reviewing the correct way to do snatch and presses , the excersizes I’ve been doing is nothing more than a semi upright row and press.  O well ! I like doing them. but probauly would be better off spending that time on shoulder presses or something else. That does not change my goal I will do a standing press of 165 by end of january

O well. I triedto .Snatch and press 165  earlier I had it up and just could not press it all the way up. This eve I could not even get it up. Lol I can’t get it up!

I taped it its sad . I did 145 a few times and did 125 for about 30 min about 6 sets of 5 . I will get it up by the end of the month I will suceed

Today I am going to try to get My PR for a snatch and press. I am going for 165 tonight.  I tried this morn but i could not get a full press. I also didn’t eat this morn . I have been mentally preping for this. Making sure I have the right amount of carbs and energy levels . I know this weight is lightweight for a lot of individuals but it marks a limit that I have been at since last year since I stop lifting  in the summer do to work schedule. I would like to press it at least 3 times. In the words of Ronnie Coleman   " lightweight Baby"
