I'll see if I can't get someone to tape me next Saturday. Then I'll worry about finding someone to host it.

So you could have gotten 245 or 250 - I don't think that is anything to get too upset about. You will get 255 soon enough.

You'll hit it eventually. Probably will beat me anyway, my bench actually fell a little over the last 6 months. |

I won't get there that fast while I'm cutting. It's hard to get stronger constantly when your calories are really restricted.
Once i start to eat big though, I think I'll get there easily. We'll see. Everything I've done thus far has all been with a cutting diet.

Chest/Tri's/Shoulders
BB Flat Press
45 x 10
135 x 6
175 x 4
205 x 2
220 x 4
220 x 4
I wanted 5 on the working sets. Maybe cause of maxing yesterday I couldn't get them. Who knows. I almost tried but I probably woulda got stuck half way up.
BB Decline Press
205 x 4 (Wide grip on accident, meant to do med grip)
205 x 5 ( Medium grip)
BB Close Grip Press
165 x 2
180 x 5
180 x 5
Staying one more week.
BB Upright Rows
85 x 4
100 x 8
100 x 8
Staying one more week.
The intensity is alot higher than it was for the 5x4 routine. I only get 2 working sets to blow it out so I can focus more. I also think I'm applying this routine properly too. On the 5x4 routine, on the first set i might have been able to get 5 or 6 reps but stopped at the 4. I think you are supposed to not be able to do more than 4 reps for every set, and then rest until you are ready to go to the next set. If that's the case, then that is way too much volume I was doing.
I like this new routine already, but it worries me because since I am doing half the volume, I am probably burning many less calories. While I don't see weightlifting as calorie burning exercise, I still need to make sure my weight continues to drop. So, after this week if I see no loss even at 1700-1800 calories intake, and 3 cardio days, i'm definitely going back to the 5x4 routine, or something similar, maybe 5x3.

Cause I'd rather sell my nuts to a castrate than do more cardio  .
What's an EC stack? Sounds like a metabolism raiser or something, i.e. supplment, and you know I don't do ANY supplements man come on . lol

It was just as I was starting , 5 weeks in 2 1/2 yrs ago. After that i quit for about 6 months before trying to get into it again.
I know it was the MRP because it happened to me, i quit taking it, and no problem, then started it again and within 2 days had another problem and ended up in the hosptial a second time. Quit taking it again, then started up a few months later, had another problem.
Since i quit, never had any serious problems. I sometimes have a weird heart beat but it's nothing like that was. It was those myoplex shakes i was taking.
