Some people excel at one kind of exercise or the other. Longer arms are mechanically better for DL but worse for bench press. My DL far exceeds any other of my big 3 lifts

Alright this was the last week of clen, took pic on Sunday. I dropped down to 170 from 181(ish)
I'll stop Clen for a little bit, starting some gear next week. I got strep throat so I haven't been at the gym for the last week and a half :/ fuck.
and time, ive been dling for like 18 or 19 months now
Yep, same here. Been deadlifting since Feb. 2010. Started @ 115lbs and now I can do way more than that with ease. Hopefully I'll be in the 400+ 5x5 club soon enough (Currently at 285 lbs 5x5, 290 friday hopefully ). We all got our mountains we wanna climb, I want to add 110lbs to my deadlift and I know that isn't going to be easy, but just keep training and eating and you'll be fine.
try the stronglift 5x5 3 days a week and for sure you'll gain a strength boost
on my 4th week and have already added 50 lbs to my squats, 40 lbs to my deadlifts
and 25lbs to the rest
how did u gain so much in 4 weeks? i started yesterday, input my info to the spreadsheets and it gave me my starting weights, i wont even be doing my Regular 10 rep weight til like week 5 so i feel this first month is sort of a waste of time since i dont even really get a WORKOUT but just want to follow the program how it says so idk if i shud increase my starting weights Posted via RS Mobile
before i started the program, some of the exercises that was on the report, i never did, so i had to find a starting weight where i could do 5x5 and work my way up
others such as
bench/squats/deadlifts i had already done with moderately heavy weights with higher reps
and because the spreadsheet couldn't calculate the different weights i used.. I had to guesstimate where i should be
since i could do bench 135x10/145x10/155x10
i started at 5x5 at 155
because this workout relied more on strength than endurance i knew i could do it
so far everything is good...and if at any point i can't complete a set, ill try again, and if i fail ill de-load, and work from there
don't make your starting weights too heavy... or else you might struggle on the 3rd/4th week out of the 12week program
the first two seeks should be very easy .. and you should be done within 30 mins.. after a while when the weights gets heavier, you'll take longer breaks.. and the workout will be longer

I've been having difficulty with my decline press lately. I can deal with the weight, but I have difficulty getting the bar off the rack.
My usual way of getting the bar off the rack is pushing the bar directly upwards, then use a little twisting force to push it away from the rack (so it lines up with my chest). But lately, I find that I do not have the necessary twisting force to get it off the rack, I feel like as if my wrist is not strong enough.

oo kk thx ill hope to get my bench up at least 25lbs in 4-6 weeks as well, or more if it keeps working , til i stop achieving the required amount of reps, then will deload for a couple of weeks, then use the 3 week smolov jr. routine, & hope to not only increase my 1rm but to increase my new 5rm to my 8-10rm
^ In a video i saw recently jay was like i knew phil was gonna be a top contender... i didnt know it would happen in my time... or something like that.
Pulled 3 plates aside on deadlift for 1 RM, twice last night. Felt I wasn't fully able to lock out at the top tough, my grip was failing.
I got mine at RC at SportChek (Atmosphere now?) You gotta go to the right side where the rock climbing stuff is and ask an employee there. They found a couple packs in the drawer under the display case. it's called "white gold" i believe.
And yeah, i know what you mean. I do sets with 3 plates a side, and with chalk i always pump out at least 8-9 reps, and a couple less without chalk.
jay looks bigger but phil is freaking riiiped (judging from 2010 Arnold Classic)
i say
1) phil
2) jay
3) kai
kai has deff stepped up his game, he has gotten rid of that hgh guy a bit , but he is still 2 freaky in some spots
jay and phil just are so proportionality perfect

they are best friends, its crazy phil is 28 i think, he is only going to get better and he is at the same level at top 3 ppl being a number 2
its only a matter of time before phil wins. either this year or next year. jay will be #2 and retire. and phil is going to reign for a while. hes so young still and improving a ton every year
Phil Heath is a genetic freak. He used to be a college ball player too. I found this video interesting, shows him playing ball and playing the piano too.
