you and Gerry are in the non learning side.

I was curious though to see a response from you on the bench thing. I do think that benching is more for show and chest pounding though

BTW I am always learning but it is because of my many mistakes

I am in a whole different lifting mode than the powerlifters. I concentrate more on the incline bench than flats, as the flats seem to bother my shoulders more. Not as interested in maximum strength for a single rep as I am in strength for higher reps, but I have the utmost respect for what powerlifters do.

I will have to keep an eye out for that, hurt shoulders suck when doing lifting. I guess I prefer efficiency with most things however that may be.

For my goals, the incline movement is definitely more efficient.

one more week of therapy and we will see

Grazie fratello, it is still very weak but that only leaves room for big gains

Do you do decline also? Gotta work the lower pec too.

I don't like the decline position, Chris, so I do weighted dips and other movements that work my lower pecs.

Good day in the gym

... until I got yelled at and was too mad to keep going.

Box squats to below parallel: 185 x 3 x 10
Rack walk-outs: 315 x 1 x 3; 315 x 3 x 1, 315 x 5 x 1 (just feeling the weight)
Stiff legged deads: 225 x 8 x 3; 275 x 6 x 2
Leg press: 8p x 10; 10p x 7; 12p x 5 (this is when I got yelled at)
Box jumps (18"): 10, 7 (and this is when I realized I was too mad, unfocused, and would hurt myself)

I do my leg presses with a full range of motion. I bottom out to the safety, under control ... but I hit the safety stop, which lets me know it's time to go back up. Got yelled at for doing that today. "The equipment isn't made for that." Whatever ... it's a Hammer Strength leg press! It's made for a lot more than that!

Effin' gym.

sorry to hear Dokk...I figured getting yelled at would have made you pump harder!

I've got a 13 mile training run today and i need to motivate myself enough to do it faster. I do not want to be on the treadmill all farkin evening.

It just made me mad ... and I think it's generally a bad idea to lift when you're actually mad because I lose focus and it's then easier to make a mistake.

Same here Tom, id rather do 100 dips than one decline press

The flat Bench bothers a lot of people. I think there are a few different reason for this, rather than the actual movement itself.

I *wish* I could do 100 dips.

Hell ... I wish I could do one at body weight.

Dip Machine to the rescue!!! Dont feel bad Prof. After I took a long time off from working out I couldnt do a pull up or a dip.

Squat till your shorts get tight!
