Thanks boys. Hoping to be Belyaev quality someday.

Single Arm DB OHP 35kg
4 right 3 left
2 right 3 left
5 right 5 left
I don't know what could cause this. Perhaps I need to spend longer warming up. I now see that the problem with a db is when I load more plates onto the db I am forced to press the db with the db further and further away from my shoulder. -
Re: Quest for a bigger bench and OHPThat's some pretty solid DB pressing :|(Original post by alex_tait)

Bench Press 2x5 97.5kg 1x5 87.5kg 1x5 100kg I was sharing the bench with this dude and I miss loaded the weight on the third set. On the final set he told me 2.5kg wouldn't make a difference so I just went with it.
Squat 165kg 1x5 1x3 1x1
DB Rows 3x5 46kg
Curls 3x8 14kg DBs
On the squat I was just tired. I have developed this bad habit of waking up in the middle of the night and just not being able to go back to sleep. I am thinking of just reading some boring ass book to resume my slumber.Last edited by Illidan_Stormrage; 16-08-2011 at 14:14. -

Nice pressing
22/8/2011
Bench Press with the worst form ever 3x5 100kg
Squat 165kg 4/5/3 Once again I had bar sliding issues. On the last rep of the last set the bar was literally halfway down my back.
DB Rows 3x5 48kg
Curls
I need to sort out this bar sliding. Also my wrists feel like they are going to snap when I squat. -

just a bunch of classical pieces of music that I love to listen to before I hit the gym. -
Re: Quest for a bigger bench and OHPI just read through your freshers pulling thread and loled at how insecure some people are. If you wanna beat me then lifting is gonna have to be more than just a hobby bro. If you do find out how to pull please let me know as I am going to the halls as a 2nd year. I am more muscular than the rugby players and nerdier than the WoW players.
