^^Kinda like that....cause I get bored just doing the bike for 2 sets of 10 minutes, then walking 2 sets of 10 minutes, other cardio like that...wasn't familiar with the "circular"terminology but thats what I've been trying to implement lately.....

Got lucky there......

I guarantee i'd out lift you in everything else....

I was benching at 225x10 a few months back. Then Ski-hat had his accident and I scrapped benching for a while....

..and I guarantee you won't...I'm strong in every excerise I do consistantly...care to challenge with video? Lol. If you are close in weight that is. If you talk all this and you're like 180-200...then u might be able to do more.

I know for sure not chest and shoulders...I'm a monster in both...arms are crazy right now as well. I'm pretty sure you could get me there..I've slacked a lot in that area.

It all depends on one's personal fitness goals. I've seen people serious into power lifting do over 500 lbs. My max is 285 lbs.

Just had shoulder surgery and also found out I have osteo-arthritis in that shoulder, so I think my 225 lbs days are over.

Just had shoulder surgery...

What type?

I may be joining you soon

I've dropped vids in the past breh.....

I'm no bench press and curler...

I don't care for arms too much, that's too easy. I focus on everything else. Back, shoulders, quads and abs.

I'm 5'9 @ 168-170ish

I don't know what I did, I think I pushed it with bench press. If I moved my shoulder in just the right position while sitting at my work desk, I felt this really small pop, like cracking your knuckle on your hand. But then the pain was intense, like a 8 out of 10 like Mike Tyson just punched the inside of my shoulder.
Arthroscopic surgery to fix a labral tear. They cleaned up cartilage to smooth it out too. MRI showed osteo-arthritis. Arthrospope pictures show osteoarthritis too.
I have to lay off weight lifting unless I want a shoulder replacement in the future. Big bummers.

Yup, same procedure I'm lined up for should I opt to to through with it.

Mine is from hs/college athletics tho (football most likely). Been hurtin on and off for years since, and lol the popping and clicking is an everyday thing for me. Can't BB bench over 225 without discomfort, which is partly why I dropped it. I initially thought it was just an impingement til it started hurting with sleep or when I'm just standing still randomly. Standard PT protocols didn't do much.

shyts a long ass road to recovery, breh. I can't work without a strong/stable arm either

How long ago was the op?

 

[GoPro]

lmao thats the #1 thing that shows me somebody is a rook

*comes in swinging arms in a circle*

*goes straight to machine*

I've been lifting for almost two years and go to failure on every set. practically no warming up. I'll stretch alil while heading to the weights, that about it. I lift during lunch and dont have time for all that shyt.

lol prob because they started that routine (or lack thereof) with lighter weight, thought it was all good... and never thought twice about it weeks and months later while building up to heavier stuff.. never understanding why they have them random muscle aches and pains and nagging injuries

 

[HookersandIceCream]

dumbells at my gym only go up to 150. how nikka pose to bench 300+ without using a barbell. dbs for bodybuilding and bb for strength/athleticism.

Only?
