Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Closer to benching 315 then you think. Haven’t maxed yet but I’m hitting 275 for 4 reps and destroying 225lbs like lightweight nowRepped.
Now you just need the 315 bench and 495 pull to get a number with the 3-4-5 area code.
You ain't provide no receipts so I'll have to assume you're not maxing out on the Smiff machine.
.Only at 4 plates on dead because I’m not increasing the weight quick. I’m focus on making sure form is straight.
I was able to hit 495lb with supine. A few months back in summer, but im trying do it right with double overhand.
Also getting closer to 225lbs on overhead press
The heavier I lift, the more cut and defined I get.
Like I even mean that my muscles are necessarily getting bigger, but my body responds by being more defined and lower body fat %.
This is actually in line with the video I posted a few weeks back, which states that unless you’re pushing yourself to damn maximum contractile in the gym, then you’re cheating yourself and not really working out hard enough.
Side bar is that I’ve cleaned my diet up a bit more but I’ve still been eating junk here and there as well.

I wouldn't think to know if you were close or already lifting that, I was just making a statement.

Does anyone else use the smith machine? I always thought they were for pussies, but it’s great for accessory work. I started doing close grip bench press on a low incline for burnout sets 4 weeks ago and now Im back to repping 335 on the flat bench.

Yes, one dude on here uses it instead of a barbell.
He can even put up "405" on it.

You meal prep???.... That's how I keep the overarching diet in check. Sometimes I'll leave one spot out of the 14 meals I prep for the week open to have a cheat. Other than that we staying solid....... but we also bulking again in a few weeks..... IDK how I'll be able to handle any mini-cuts..

Been consistent for about 7 weeks now, lifts all improving nicely, big muscle groups getting cut 
But if I had to guess I’m about 25% body fat, and it’s all concentrated around my midsection. I haven’t been doing cardio as much as I’d like and I’m still learning how to eat. Patience is the hardest thing about losing fat, need some kind words brehs

Only person that I know who uses the smith machine is @Mr Olympia
I eat more or less the same thing everyday.
Oatmeal, yams, brown rice, salmon/ shrimp.
When I cheat, I might eat some snacks like chips. But yesterday I had ice cream
