Yeh, since i started doing these a few months ago...my back as had the most progress, i love this machine. Problem with pull-ups...the only place in my gym is the spot right inbetween the double cable machine...the one you can do cable flyes on. And of course, there is always some jackass doing something in there. I want to get back into doing wide-grip pull-ups, just haven't had the chance yet. I doubt i can get 18 like you my friend...maybe, but i doubt it

Yup, it's pretty much the same at my gym also. I hate the pull-up "handles" between the cable machine anyway, it's angled weird. We have another straight pull-up bar with absolutely no grip, which makes it extremely hard to bang out pull-ups.

I hear ya bro, i used to love pull-ups but my gym is not "pull-up user friendly"

[Aztech]

hammer strength..total weight

that 410 is 4-45 and a 25 on each side

Squats (wasn't going to do these but it was all that was avail)
135#x7
225#x7
315#x3
365#xfailed - first squat failure. I dropped to parallel, held it for a few seconds but just couldn't push it back up. I was able to safely dump it forward onto the squat rack. Never has a fan of squat spotters...just a little akward with a dude standing penis to ass right behind you.

Gonna go puke now, check ya bro's later

You've really gotta have a single spotter that knows what he's doing to spot a bro on a heavy squat set. If I were spotting you, it might be borderline ghey, but I gurandamntee you I could support you by the chest and bring you up wihtout mkaing you like like and idiot and having to rack it like that. Not that you looked like an idiot, just couldn't think of a better word nice work for having the nads to throw up soem weight.

[Aztech]

BP from the other night...was walking before getting it taken so may be a touch high cause of that.

141/83

Not so great...was like 1-teens over 70's. Anyone think I should be worried about this?

 

[AngryMuscles]

yup. walking or doing anything before u take BP does fuck it up.

rest for 10 minutes then take or better yet, when u woke up first thing in the morning.

[Soul Rebel]

Very strong as usual bro. Just wondering, on the deads, do you do a dead reset at the bottom, or touch and go? And how low do you go on your squats? I'm just trying to see how some of your guys are training. Personally, doing deads with a dead reset at the bottom kicks my ass, but I'm trying different methods, grips, etc. Congrats on the PR too!

 

[Aztech]

My gym bitches if the weight makes too much ground off the floor...so i'm lowering slowly and practically pausing at the bottom with the quick reset in body posture as my hands are strapped to the bar.

As for squats, my wamr-ups are as deep as I can go and my final sets are to make the tops of my thighs parallel to the floor.

 

[adidamps2]

congrats on all the PR's Acz...
works look like they are comming along nice.

 

[Aztech]

i started using 2 workouts ago some shit called cm2 or something. Has argnine malate, b-alaline, cee...it that order for most to least. i'd say i'm getting about 4g beta alaline and 2g cee...seems good so far. Upped my squat by two reps
