You don't know the half of it! thanks for stopping by...hopefully I will reward you with my 300 bench! lol
Just to clarify though---when I say I wanna bench 300, I mean bench 300 as MY WORKING SETS. I dont do maxes, but I know I can do over 300 now...but I want to write in this journal one day...
bench press 300 x 5,4
or something like that
wish me luck |

I would like to know what you're doing specifically to put on weight without gaining fat weight as firehawk mentioned.... |

No direct tricep work, I noticed. :confused:

no bicep work either---i think it was just a generic example of a simple powerlifting routine. I don't think I am going to use it, right now anyway. I had a conversation with Todd earlier today and I am going to stick with one of his max-ot routines for 8 weeks starting today to see what happens. You can't argue with his results, and hopefully he can keep me on the right path. I need a more bodybuilding approach, as I do want strength and size, but more in the bodybuilder way, I think that is what is best for me right now |

Of course I'm wishing you luck man. What do you currently rep for bench? I didn't notice numbers besides the dumbbell ones.
I was putting on a lot of weight and little fat during the school year when I was eating galore, but here at home I don't eat nearly enough. I've been at 195 lbs since late April and I've added a lot to my lifts. Still weighing in at 195 lbs today. My thing is I can gain strength and keep the same weight easily. I don't post my diet for a good reason - I'd get yelled at! lol. My last deadlift work out was powered on a glass of apple juice (breakfast) and post-workout I had a glass of milk. Didn't eat for 5 hours before or after these "meals". My body has a knack to getting stronger while burning fat and keeping same bodyweight. It's cool  |

Well lucky you! You must be a lot younger than I am then--I am going on 31 this year and yeah that makes it a lot harder to eat and stay lean at the same time. Its a catch-22...you wanna eat more, to get "bigger" to lift more weight, yet you want a flat stomach etc., so something has to give. hopefully if i stick to this max-ot program, i can cut some fat and still gain strength at the same time, we'll see what happens
oh by the way I am up to 275 for about 5 or so reps a set...last time i got 5 in the first, then 3 in the second. today i am doing chest and would love to get 6 on the first, but i will settle for 5 if i can get 4 or 5 on the second set as well....i am close, lol... |

Wow congrats and repping 275 that much. You're right, I am slightly younger than you. I'm sittin' right at 18  I think my body has a little more leeway than yours simply because of age lol. |

if I only got into this stuff back when i was in my teens, who knows what I would be doing now, its a liability to be older, but hey, it just means we have to work harder to get what we want |

Repping BW + 75lbs., very nice. I just got BW + 70 for one rep and I was excited! Those look like some solid sets, you'll hit that goal in no time.

I was talking about the bench, but the dips were pretty awesome too.

You cant play that OLD card yet dude. Aren't you like 30? You can't start playing that card till you're passing 35!
