Goals & Gains Clangin' and Bangin'

Wtf you got banned from the NFL thread? Lol you are good poster but I'm not sensitive or anything. It's interesting, though. Been on this site a while like you and its seems like some people just can't handle ball busting. Just sensitive or sheltered or something. I'm more of laid back guy especially the past 5 years or so but getting butt hurt over some posts isn't something I'm going to do. I'm not above being made fun of. I like lurking and occasionally posting in the NFL thread because it reminded me of how I grew up especially in the marines with dudes just talking shit, pissing people off and trying to make the boys laugh. Kind of shitty they thread banned you.

I got unbanned the day after the banning. It made me lose interest in posting there and I haven’t missed it so I haven’t bothered posting again. Guy that banned me was admittedly wasted at the time so it wasn’t a huge surprise.

Got thread banned from the NFL thread for saying "fuck the Lions". Guy that did it was a known pussy when it comes to sports, but I realized that it actually kinda pissed me off. Turned me off to posting here and I haven't missed it. Only post here because it's a good way to track progress or lack thereof.

I can look into it if you want me to...
 
3/21/25

Bench
205x3
265x3
315x3
375x1
400x1
430x1 (PR)
315x5x3

Pressdown
3 sets of 12

Shrug
3 sets of 10

Straight arm pulldown
3 sets of 12

After the way 405 moved a couple weeks ago I was hoping to hit 435 or even 440, but I didn't see it happening today. 430 is still a 10lb PR and I did it weighing 30lbs less than last time so I'm happy. Probably take a couple days off next week, but might pop into a commercial gym to fuck around for a minute.

Congrats on the Bench PR, bro. Maybe 1% of lifters can Bench 4 plates and change. :cool:

Hell yeah. That's kind of crazy you can still hit a big bench PR with the shoulder issues.

My shoulder feeling good is a big reason that I maxed out again so soon since the last time. Got that injection in December and it completely took the pain away so I wanted to test my max before it wears off. Before the shot I was thinking I might be done hitting bench PRs.

I've been consistent with the PT exercises so I'm hoping that when the shot does wear off I'll still feel good. If the pain comes back the doctor said he's fine with continuing the shots so I'll get another one before it gets as bad as it did last time.

Shoulder being good for bench is cool, but the biggest benefit of the shot is being able to sleep. When it gets bad it's a pain in the ass to find a comfortable sleeping position and the pain will wake me up quite a bit.
 
@Stargazer Rex I don't know if it was your intention, but I kinda got the feeling you might have been a little skeptical about my bench yesterday. That's totally understandable though. This won't change that because it's 405 and not 430, but now I believe I can hit 405 on any given day and I decided to record it today. Maxing two days in a row didn't seem like a bright idea.

Technology might be passing me by because the only way I could figure out how to upload it was to create a giphy account and make a gif out of it. Sucks that you can't hear my obnoxiously loud breathing, but if the speed hasn't been altered then this should at least show that I can hit 405 with some room to spare.

Edit: Speed looks normal. If there's any question about the plates I only have three pairs of the Rogue deep dish iron plates. The last plate on each side is a 45lb Rogue bumper

I wasn't skeptical at all. I was impressed if anything. I'm not really one to question people's PRs. Don't think I've ever done that once here. Been posting in here off and on the past 10 years.

You're a good dude so even if you straight said you didn't believe me I wouldn't be offended by it. I was bored more than anything and wanted to test my "hit 405" at anytime theory. You and others have posted videos here before so I figured why not.

Some people here do question PR's so I can see how you might think that. But, yeah, I believed you even without the vids. You still benched consistently and you've had success with the shot. The work you put in foretold a bench PR coming. It can be a pain in the ass to video yourself with getting a good angle and everything. I always have my son do it for me, might not even do it if it wasn't for that.

Dude, you fucking crushed that. The speed was awesome. I have no doubt that 405 is your prison bitch.:)
