Do you use straps? I figure straps are good for at least one or two more pull up's a set. My "famous trainer" buddy does not recommend going too wide; just slightly wider than straight up arms. Hard to get use to for me since I have an idea in my head what a pull up is for the last 25 years working out...

No straps, but full disclosure, I need a chair back for the the last 3-4. I am not using my legs to help, but just taking some weight off. I am not going too wide, Pretty much 4 inches or so left and right vs straight up.

Two days ago was the first time I had deadlifted in over 2 months and boy does my lower back feel sore. Went balls out and did 315 raw for 3 reps and felt like I could have done more but didn't want to risk throwing out my back. Not bad since my ORM was about 450 =D

Finally put up 185 on the incline bench for 1. That's 40lbs more than me. I vividly remember thinking how cool it would be to have a 45 and a 25 on each side months ago and not being able to envision a time where I could lift that.
Hell, I never even tried it until today (previous high was 175).

I'm quite stoked.

185 is a good milestone, 225 is right around the corner. I'd try it on a flat bench first.

Nice lift Dan!

I never liked Incline bench. I never get into the right groove. I've had some decent lifts but never feel comfortable on it. I've also hurt myself multiple times doing incline bench.

Different strokes, Son....I love incline, and am actually able to lift more on the incline. Strange, I know.

Bill86 · 04-07-2012, 07:15 PM

Count me in the

for Incline group. One of my least favorite exercises.

icehog3 · 04-07-2012, 07:22 PM

Wussies.

Bill86 · 04-07-2012, 07:23 PM

I do them, but I don't like it at all

That said whoever mentioned Skull crushers, that is becoming one of my new favorite exercises

Getting my third preworkout in Monday, trying Universal Shock Therapy. I found that using Con-Crete with a preworkout gives me much more energy. Today was a good day.

Anyone have any experience with Hemoval? Apparently that is another good one to take with a preworkout.

icehog3 · 04-07-2012, 07:29 PM

Never tried any of those, Bill.

What is Con-Crete?

Concentrated Creatine.

Some Preworkouts like Musclepharm Assault use creatine (specifically con-crete in assault) but some don't like Cellucor C4.

Thanks, reviews look good, Bill.

Bill86 · 04-07-2012, 07:51 PM

It is damn tasty too, tastes like old school pineapple jolly ranchers

Same here, Tom... I lift WAY more on incline. Feels better on my shoulders, too...

That is key for me as well, Dan.

Fordman4ever · 04-07-2012, 08:54 PM

I put up 300 on the flat bench last week for a 1 rep max. I'm hoping to get 350 before I reach the end of my deployment.

GreekGodX · 04-07-2012, 09:05 PM

You incline bench lovers are crazy! If I do it, it is with dumbbells

But you did remind me to take my fish oil!
