New gear, new goals, new log.

Upper body strength

bench 135 x8 225 x5 275 x5 315 x2 315 x8.5 -piss poor 225 x24 -not so bad
HS rows 3 plates per side x6 4 plates x6 5 plates x6 5 plates +25 x8(bilateral) x6 per side (unilateral, no break)
Arnold press 65's x8 75's x8 85's x9
Power shrugs 315 x3 405 x3 495 x5
superset w/ forearm work

As my weight drops my bench continues to dwindle. I'm going to shy away from flat bench for a while because it's demoralizing me.
 
What was the reason for the 225 rep-out? The thread in the convo lounge must have sparked your curiosity. It certainly has sparked mine. Good work as usual bro.

Yeah that thread reminded me that I hadn't done it in a while and after the shitty work set I wanted to throw something else in.
 
It's going to depend on how much fat I can lose without taking off muscle. I don't think I have much more than 5 lbs of fat left to drop.

i didn't go too far back in your log and don't recall any cardio work. am i correct to assume we are alike in saying fuck cardio? I've noticed my bodyfat has lowered just from lifting heavy and hard. I haven't measured other than by using a mirror but can tell it has dropped in the past yr. I'll get it measured maybe this weekend when i meet my office mgrs. trainer.

Yes, diet, lifting, gear, and activity level/metaboilsm are plenty to cut, at least for me.
 
An understanding which I lack, unfortunately. At your size and strength, no football, or other collegiate sports to speak of?

Not trying to sound like a cock here, but I don't consider it luck. Just an overarching understanding of the body which I'm still developing.

Agree on that note. Obviously if your trying to get sub 10% you'll probably have to do some cardio, but you can drop a significant amount of bodyfat simply through diet and continued weight training.

My thoughts exactly. I must stress that I am very against the norm when it comes to my philosophy on cardio. For me it's a sometimes necessary evil at best, mainly for competitors and athletes. I also see the benefit for people trying simply to lose weight (those who are obese etc.).

No. I look better than almost all the football players of comparable size at my school, but I could never do what they do on the field.

I got some tren into a vein today while shooting my quad. I went in a little low on the quad because I try to spread out the areas where I shoot. I went in and aspirated, whole shot went in fine, until I asiprated again to build a litter pressure to push the last little bit of oil out of the syringe. When I pulled back a drop of blood came through with the air, and when I pulled out the syringe tip was filled with blood. At this point I thought "oh shit". Got a bit light headed and felt some pressure in my chest, tasted it just for a split second, got kind of a head ache and broke out in a cold sweat. I can't describe how it felt except to say it was apparent something was wrong. I stayed seated for a few minutes and when I got up I was prettymuch fine. Thiking I just passed through a vein on the way out. Just wanted to go into detail on this because it's the only time anything like this has happened in all my shots. I can see how it would really really suck to shoot a significant amount into a vein.
