i think your next bench day you should be able to hit 215x6 and then 225x4-5 then move that 225 to 230 and go for 2 reps..i know you were tired but you numbers are moving now and you been hitting all your reps...i think your getting there man.

nice workout, and great PR

 

[SteelSouth]

Nice PR winter!!!

 

[Winter]

I'm very happy with all my new PRs lately because I'm cutting right now and my weights are still pretty high. I think this is so because I stuff my face full of carbs(almost 80% of my carbs are taken pre-workout) before I lift and its really been working these past few months.

Congrats on the PR's Winter. Just stay focused, you'll get stronger.

 

[Winter]

Thanks guys.

Just stay focused, you'll get stronger.

For sure bro. I've been trying to beat the shit of my chest lately, it has worked a bit, but not as well as I want. I just wish I could be putting up as much weight on bench as I can on squat or deads LOL. Either way, I am making some progress.

 

[Winter]

[adidamps2]

wow bro nice PR work...what you eating?

 

[Winter]

wow bro nice PR work...what you eating?

I've actually been eating less because I'm cutting, but my strength has yet to hinder. I have not been taking caffeine pills for my workouts except for my chest workouts, but it seems like I've already built an immunity to it already. I have cut down on my carbs, kept my protein intake very high and dropped a lot of fat intake. It seems to work okay.

Basically I stuff my face full of carbs before I workout and a bit in the morning. I eat mostly lean meats and very little carbs throughout the day.

The only supps I take are:
*Optimum Protein powder
*TRAC Creatine Ethyl Esther only on my workout days - 2 to 3teaspoons a time
*2 Fish oil caps w. my nighttime shake around 9:30 or 10
*One 200milligram caffeine pill on my chest days.

Is caffeine really good for young guys like us man? Just wondering, I tend to stay away from coffee
