Carlman’s BodyBlog

For those of you who have followed my journal and body blog, you know that I have not gone over 205 on the bench for over a year and a half now. Because I was always contest dieting and training.  Today I did 3 warm up sets with 135 then put 225 on. I asked a guy at the gym for a spot.

 I GOT 7 REPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was STOKED.

Now I think I can make my goal of 10 reps of 225 by June.

Today I decided to incorporate deadlifts with my back training.

275lbs deads for reps, It felt GREAT!!! I am hoping that I will get back to 315 for reps soon. I also did domething that I have not done in a looong time. I measured my arms and was pleased to see 16 1/8" Hell maybe tomorrow I will measure everything and keep track of my progress this year through my "bulking" year. Yeah thats right Mc Skillet Burritos are going in my tummy. For years of dieting clean all the time I would have NEVER imagined me eating a McDonalds breakfast. DAM I have been missing out on life. lol Well it won’t last long I will only be eating like this for a few more weeks then back to a "clean bulk" BUT I will enjopy for now!
