Oh and never envy that big shot in the gym benching crazy numbers. It simply doesnt translate into real strength.

example.

I was on the dip station doing weighted dips. These deebo powerlifting cats is doing sets of +135, and +180. The +135 they got like 3 reps. The +180 they could barely get 2.

Im sitting there like :obama: these dudes prolly double my weight and cant mess with me on this bar. So i get up there and bust out +160x4 real smooth feeling real :myman:

im finishing up my sets on the weighted dips, and see these same dudes hop on the incline bench, rack on 495 and bust out 5 reps, touching the chest.

im standing there like :dwillhuh: I can barely do 225:dwillhuh:


bottom line this means its not functional strength.
You realize that them being heavier than you means they're doing more, right?
Edit: pertaining to dips

mine is getting smaller, that part is all diet, exercises that target those section. My ab workout wasn't really tearing up my lower ab like i wanted to, switched my routine and now im getting the tightness i've wanted.

and im about to start taking protein for like the 3rd time in my life.

:pacspit: Resolution gym nikkas...I'll face the crowd tomorrow.

:beli: yeah i hate them taking up all the parking spots and making me make the :why: face when every bench or weight/barbell i want to use is taken by them and they are barely doing anything with them. it's frustrating as fukk.

but on the other hand, they usually give up by mid-feb and they just end up paying for all the new shyt my gym adds every year. i hate em now and thank them for their donation later on so :manny:

Doin this pull-up/chin-up program while im home that's supposed to help you be able to do 50 consecutive pullups. Today's work:

15 pullups
12 chins
11 pullups
9 chins
8 pullups

90 seconds between sets. The last two sets are the worst. :whew:
