You should probably take it easy for a few months now and do a velocity diet cut. There's no point in getting stronger once you've hit the magical 315/405/500 total.

More Crossfit.

I agree Donut, that is a good strategy. No need to make the rest of us feel bad for our weakness...

Fuck that - I want Donut to be as strong as possible. And then I'll still kick his weak ass in the race to 1500.

I'm just happy to get past that 3 wheel mental barrier, and actually feel motivated to train bench press. Interpolating from my 275x3 @9 and 315 @9-9.5, I feel like I can do 325 right now.

I'm going to eat my way to 242 if it means winning the race.

I've gained 6 pounds in the last three weeks. I've being eating like shit while trying to get a bunch of work on my dissertation done. After I talked to my advisor about my work I had -

1) Protein shake (1 cup oat; 1 cup frozen fruit; 2 scoops protein powder)
2) Chicken Pad Thai and 4 spring rolls
3) Jimmy Johns Gargantuan sub
4) Lots of Beer
5) Taco Bell - 4 soft tacos; 1 bean burrito and 1 beef and bean burrito;

I would make Zero proud with all that crap.

 

[Donut62]

That's some solid eating. I've been pretty clean the last 2 weeks, but this weekend I am going home, and my friend is throwing a party for UFC 84 and there's a beer tasting right beforehand, and Sunday I have a wedding, Monday is memorial day picnic, so next Tuesday when I bench again I'm going to be running on a serious bloat.

And, since you aren't that far away, you should make it your priority to come to the Arnold next year. It's meathead paradise. I'm getting excited already even though it was just 2 months ago.

I'm going to look fat in my wedding pictures and be sad when ChaseT wins the race to 1500.

That's an interesting strategy.

 

[Donut62]

If I get so fat I can't grab the bar pulling conventinal, I'll eat some brocolli.

I'll make it up for the Arnolds next year.

Christ - you

Good day. Both pulls felt pretty good. The second one was a sloppier set up and went up harder obviously, but I couldn't in good conscience let myself drop it like that and wind up doing that on the platform. This also puts my total over 1300. Pwnsome. My box squat form feels fucking terrible. I'm going to take off the bands for now until I can do these with a semblance of competance.

 

[Chaos Mitten**]

Nice job following through on that second pull.

ghey
























nice pull, jerk

Praise from Ceasar! (...if Caesar didn't bench...)

nice pull, jerk

I just need to hit up the squatting hard here, and put up a nice number there. My pull is pretty solid, I just to get my squat and bench up to where the should be.

 

[HellIsForHeroes]

Great pull buddy. I have to catch up to you.

Eh - I should be a lot better bencher than I am. My suck ass deadlift ... er ... sucks.

I was a damn good week of lifting for you. Now, you can eat your ass off over the long weekend.

 

[Donut62]

Maybe I should lift twice a week with no plan whatsoever from now on.

Nice pull Donut.
