Old man bench PR… 452 on the books. Felt like doing singles so just inched my way up from 375, 405, 415, 425, 440, 452. LFG!

I literally fell asleep at the desk today… and said GET UP and LIFT! Bench singles: 315, 345, 375, 405, 460 with chains. Ended with a 315x17 burnout. 💪🔥🫡

Deadlift cardio… 315x15. Could have done more but I felt it at 15 sooo yeah I stopped. 🤣💪

It’s lawn day… takes forever but always feels good when you’re done. Have so much to do when it comes to lawn care. Maybe next year it will look perfect. Work in progress. Got in like 8,000 steps too 💪

Cookin some “dirty tenderloins”… these are to die for. The sear is on purpose obviously.

Gotta follow chest day with a pull day. Reset those fibers back into the right position. For every movement, there’s a reverse. Back is toasted. 🫡💪

Today I’m working on sticking points. I’ve noticed my mid bench bar path is stalling a little. Need to do slower reps with pauses and dead presses. 425 top set on both. 2 second eccentric, 2 second pause, lift. If you don’t think this deadpress is hard… shoooooot man 🤣💪

Late work day… had to throw in a few sets of arms. A couple sets of Biceps 50lb x 20 and 4 sets of loose cable tricep extensions 90x12 will do the trick. High rep curls are pretty tough. 💪

Pretty much anyone who's following me and loves to push their body to the limits would greatly benefit from this training. You just don't realize it until you experience it, which means there's a barrier of entry before the benefit is felt. Just check them out. scars.com

I just watched that whole interview... that was so good man. This has a pretty niche audience but it really spoke to me. Give it a watch if you like your bench press.

I agree 100%. Warm ups / Build ups are not the same thing. Warm up is more like band work, leading into light weight starter sets, getting blood flowing, and barely scratches the surface of motor recruitment... but it's mandatory to start that way. Then the "build up" phase is where you start prepping for higher weight. You don't want to get fatigued, but you need to feel the weight shifting up as you build into the working sets. It's more about telling your body - hey dude, get used to this, we're going to be doing some heavy weight today. This is going to look different for everyone based on what their top weight is. I find myself doing at least 2-3 sets of warm ups, and then 4 or so build up sets where you start getting into the real weight ( working sets ). It's not as easy as it sounds to find that magic blend, so keep mental notes on how you feel as you see how you performed your working sets. Small adjustments can go a long way.

LFG man. 💪🫡🔥 this is the type of stuff I like to interact with on this platform… if you don’t, probably time to unfollow me. Get strong or die trying.

Squats are hard for me… 315 for reps, I thought I counted to 15… but nope. It was only 14 - going on 100 and a heart attack 🤣💪

I don’t know who needs to hear this - but reverse hypers are the GOAT for fixing back pain and core strength at the same time. Don’t sleep on this movement. It’s a warm up but also a main lift. Your back will thank you.

It's only weird when you lock eyes. Hell of a workout man. Tell me how sore your calves are in 2 days. ( if you did more than 1 set of those ). I love those.
