Thanks for clearing some of that up, Frank.
PA, they were actually really hard. I just have a way of making everything look easy

But ya, I'm upping the weight some next week.

Press day - January 21

OH press
165xF - was going for a single. That was a bad idea.
155x2,1
135x5

bentover row
195x6x3

push ups - on floor, got tired of using the blast straps
+70x7,6

NG pulldown
190x6
200x5

side raises with 40s, 35s
rev flys with 35s
curls
pushdowns

Tell me how I can push up my bodyweight (200) plus 70 pounds, but can't bench 215 without leg drive.
I need another way to add weight to push ups. These plates aren't rubber coated like at my old gym, so they slide around on each other. Maybe bands, but I really don't like using a band in the pushup, it doesn't feel right and how do you progress besides adding reps?
There are no chains/I'm not going to buy any. No vests/I'm not going to buy any.
Maybe I'll just ask a pretty girl to sit on my back while I work da gunz

There was something else I wanted to say... oh well.

Oh ya. I have a sheet of rubber that I bought a year or two ago when I was going to make a box for box squatting in my garage. I can bring a small piece of that, and put it in between the plates. Good idea Matthew. You rock.
