every day should be bench day i looooooove it:p

because i couldnt do bench press for ages i will discount the old record(3x75 or 4x75kg i think) and create a new timeline for bp records.

12x55kg new record timeline2
9x55
8x55

although squats are alot harder than bp i can never feel the same intensivity in other exercises. it felt like my tricep is exploding on the last rep......amazing.....even my biceps was totally sore after bp......it's just an amazing exercise what other can i say:cool:


chinups

5x+10kg
10x
8x
need to get them back up!

static holds
~15sec x 135kg
~5sec x135(left hand udnerhand)
~12sec x 135

How wide is your grip dude? I have never heard of anyone getting sour in the biceps after BP =D Db bench maybe, but nor bb.

It's good to see you've started doing static holds, those wild build the grip, I promise. :D

funny story about the static holds.....i had gloves on.......and when i was finished with my workout i did put them off and suddenly realiized that my hands felt totatally numb and looked swolen. haha the pressure from the 135kg weight through the gloves against my wrists was strong that i almost lost my hands;) i did realize this only after the i was finished because the static holds were even more painful haha

was so ****ing boring working out today.......so i was thinking about new business ideas and came up with writing some books.

"lifting for beginners - UP THE ****ING WEIGHT MOTHER****ER!!"
"Chinup- and Dips-mania for big arms!"
"If your back is injured: staticholds and squats equals deadlifts"
"the key to a huge chest: every day is bench day!"

ahh already forgot about the other books but whatever, anyone interested in buying?

do you really bench every workout day?

thanks

well my bentoverrows had been over 60kg for reps some week/months ago......before i stopped doing them. the weight should be around the weight that you can bench.......but it's normally a bit lower because nobody focuses on rows but everyone on bench haha.

ya it was the 5th benching in the last 11days or so.....and everytime a progress from 6x55 to 9x65 total. i will keep benching everyday till i stop making progress......then i will take one single day off haha:cool:

hey,

you went from 5x55kg to 9x65kg in such a short space of time?!

im actually benching 55 for 6 at the moment. How can you progress so well without resting your body?

Well dude, i would LOVE to explain to you how to get your bench up in almost NO TIME...but i'm a business man and can't give out information for free, sorry man. Get my "Every day is bench day"-book for only 12,99€ + shipping cost and you will never look back to your old chest routine! If you want to save some money you can get the ebook for ONLY 10,99€! And the best thing: If you will not add AT LEAST 5kg in 2 weeks you will get DOUBLE your money back......but you will not want to i promise!

okay joking aside it's 1.)memory effect(i did press around 8-9x65/5x70kg some months ago)

but i gotta say im surprised at my fast progress myself, i almost didnt get up 55kg 10days ago and could barely rep it with all my force so i have very well advanced.

IMO the best way to up the weights for one specific exercise is to do it at least 2 times, often 3times a week. you prevent the overtraining through NOT doing any additional exercises like cg bench, incline bench.

i came up with this **** myself because i was thinking for improving i gotta focus on the exercise and do it often but at the same time i have to prevent overtraining so i can only do few sets for the muscle group.

my nutrition was NOWHERE perfect it was everything but perfect, the only thing i did was ****loadz of whey and no booze but i did smoke, fast food, candys and not enough calories.

and the same thing worked good with chin ups as well, and with chinups i had no memory effect.


the only bad thing is that the other exercises seem to drop a bit, next time i will try to not reduce the other exercises so much. i hope i won't overtrain but well you gotta try new stuff to see if it works.

hope this cleared things up for ya silver

haha well it isnt much cheaper here - 3€ for 0,33 L. but then there are some days with special offers like 0,33L beer for 1€.

lol happy hour is banned how crazy is that?!

the thing with the smoking is actually a good idea even if im the only guy in the H+F forum who doesnt smoke i would prefer it because 1.)makes me smoke less 2.)clothes dont smell 3.)you dont have to look that noone is touching you with their cigarette. i even have a scar from a situation like this :/

todays workout

bp
10.5x65kg new overall record. almost didnt get it back in the rack(not a normal safe rack). shoulder injury in the right shoulder came up again while doing this....i always felt a slight pain in the days before but today it has gotten severe again. thats just great.

did some chinups till i couldnt do more because of the shoulder, losing some of my weightlifting passion.

aye, nice bench mate

i've had that shoulder thing on my bench a few times before; best things to let it rest.
how long are you breaking between bench days btw?
