thats my prob life, i dont have heavy dumbells. i work out at home and cant afford a heavy dumbell set. so is using the barbell ok? or the tricep bar for hammer curls?

 

[semag]

Bar's fine. Heavy flat bench and heavy close grips will get you goin good.

How heavy are the biggest db's you got at home?

 

[silverwex]

hey semag,

well the dumbells are interchangable - the max i could get on em are 30kg (thats 2 x 15kg barbell weights btw!!!) but the most realistic i could get is about 13.6kg on either side.

 

[semag]

K... then doing flat or incline DB press would probably be ok for you now, but you'll surpass it real quick. No worries, bar bench is good.

gratulations man. it's really amazing how you made it finally possible to gain so much strength on your chest. you're rushing ahead so damn quickly if i didnt know you i would think you finally started juicing or something! btw i think i will start cutting soon but make my journal on bb.com you post there too so i think it's no prob okay.

 

[Lifeforce]

Thanks for the compliment. I'm gonna stay here too, I like this journal better. Where will you post your journal? In the powerlifting section or the other section?

 

[Double]

lifeforce why arent you giving new updates? btw military press=bench press * 0,6........you have 4*50kg=1*90kg .......54kg=90kg would be the factor 0,6.....so i dont understand why you think your military press is low?? cauz i saw you making an angry face on bb.com over your military press. keep upping it though

 

[Lifeforce]

Sorry, I've been feeling a little down lately, too much to do so I stress out and do nothing. And I've been taking it easy because my body felt a little burned out so I got some time to rest. I don't know about the military presses, I just want them to be stronger. =)

Question

Do you ever use an EZ bar in your routines or when you were starting out? [it seems easier compared to straight bar]

is there any real difference in your opinion?

Hope ya feel better soon

 

[Lifeforce]

Thanks!

Yeah, I go with ez the most because it is less demanding on my wrists.

The differnence is that more muscles are involved in the EZ curl so you can lift more, taking some stress off the biceps. When I started out I mostly did straight bar curls.

Went to the doctor's office today and checked my heart. It was in perfect condition, completly normal with a bloodworks off 110/65.

 

[Double]

almost 175!so, the 10lbs in the last 4weeks you consider as slow+clean bulking??maybe clean but not slow :woo:
again a new bench record!##

so your biceps record is still 4x42,5kg. i will see what i can do about that

 

[Lifeforce]

Actually today i weighed 177 when I woke up, first time ever over 80 kg in the morning. Pretty strange! :cheer: I don't eat so much, I even focus on not eating when I feel hungry and wait until I should eat. You my friend have rushed ahead like a maniac, I cannot believe you are almost as big as me now.

You'll probably break my record man, 42.5 is a joke. I have to rest my biceps more.

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

 

[Double]

177lbs!!!LETZ CELEBRATE

celeeeeeeebrate:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

well thats really strange. but i have a strange impression too, that im making good gains while excessive drinking. but that just cant be true, i dont know how that should come. well im almost equal in weight and upper body lifts but bodyfat is another thing unch:


i hope i will make a new record, then we will have something more to celebrate:cheer:

 

[Lifeforce]

182.3 lbs with Jeans and T-shirt =) If I hit that weight in the morning then I have grown 50 pounds. That would be cool.


My upper body is pretty weak, I don't know why. :/ Yeah, drinking alot really helps with bulking I think, at least you feel fresher drinking much.

Go double go, make that record. :cheer:

 

[Double]

umm yeh i drink a lot water too but i was talking about alcohol :woo:

and i dont know why my lower body is weak:woo:

edit:your cheerings have been heard:woo:
