I was asked how to increase strength and ones bench.I was told by a freind about 2yrs back

this work out that I had seen guys doing while I was in Iraq.I used to think those guys were

crazy and didnt see the purpose of it.But I will say it works and what I did to increase my bench

to 500lbs on decline.I use this as a pre workout before I do my complete chest workout.You are

going to want to do this twice a weak 1 of those days being on your chest day as I said before .

Machine that you will be using is the Smith Machine.What you are going to want to do is drop bar

asfar as it can go you will not be using any saftys on machine.Now some Smith machine wont work

because they do not go low enuff.Now to the fun stuff I will use my weight as example but this will all

determine on what ur max bench is.You will be doing 3 sets you can do 4 but I found three works just fine.

It will be something like this.

1 set 6 reps 225

1 set 5 reps 315

1 set 4 reps 365

Now that will be the first weak.Weak 2 if you are ready for it will be like this.

1 set 6 reps 315

1 set 5 reps 365

1 set 4 reps 405

Now your weight will vary for the individual but you get the main idea.Now my moto is go big or

go home but make shore you use spotters.The soul idea of this style workout is that you are

bursting as you push up and because you are lying on the floor ur arms have nowhere to go

but flat on floor so burst up and get used to it and when you switch over you will notice a big

differance.I hope this will be helpful to others.Train hard or go home.

The Final Inspection

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain’t.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can’t always be a saint.

I’ve had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep…
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.

I know I don’t deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.

If you’ve a place for me here, Lord,
It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, you soldier,
You’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets
You’ve done your time in Hell."

- Part II

I’m very saddened by America today,
when they take credit for what others say.

I wrote a poem because of problems in my past,
how was I to know that it was going to last.

It has been read by all and loved the same,
but indeed at the end there is no name.

The name is simple for those who know,
it’s not Kilmer, Longfellow, Service, or Poe.

It’s a soldier who has fought for his country so true,
He’s proud of the ole Red, White and Blue.

You now know the poem the one and the same,
The Final Inspection is the name.

I wrote it because of the trials so true,
and of my buddies who died for country and you.

So take this poem, take it as you trod,
because in Heaven I’ll see my God.

He will look at me and say don’t be sad,
others read your poem and you made them glad.

Now step forward my son and look your best,
and come inside with all the rest.
