I benched 250lb twice

I'm gonna see if I can get a few clips made this weekend. The hard part isn't the weights. It's recording everything and then figuring out how to put it all on my computer to upload to a media dumpsite. I'll put a link up for everyone though. I'll have to probably put links up three weeks in a row because I only get down to Kingston once a week or once every few weeks, and it'll be my ol' training partner filming the clips while I'm lifting. I'll have to dig around for the tripod and camera stuff. I think I might have a remote for it...if it still works. We bought it to record our wedding 5 years ago and I never use the thing.::

 

Correct, I can easily do 100lbs for 10 reps on the E-Z curl bar.

 

I see, thought you were saying 45 pound dumbells since that's what we have been talking about, not 45 pounds on the bar :doh:

So you like high reps with low weight? I really don't understand why you are going opposite of what you were talking shit on, maybe a detailed explanantion is in order :dunno:

 

:bears:

Now we are getting somewhere, so can I.....on the preacher bench :blobbox:

 

What kind of software do you have? Haven't you done anything on Utube? I will see if they can do it on photobucket, I was thinking you could but I'm not sure....

 

No problem. I do heavy weight with a few lifts to build strength and power in them. For other lifts, I already have power and mass, but I want tone. Thus, for chest, I do high reps with low weight. For selected shoulder exercises, I use high reps with low weight (laterals, upright rows, bent over laterals), and for standing powerpresses, I use heavy weight.

For deadlifts, squats, and chins, I use heavy weight:
Chins: weightvest plus my bodyweight of 220lbs.
Deadlifts: 315lbs for 10 reps, though I can get 15 reps now.
Squats: 405lbs for 6-10 reps. This week I did 425lbs for 6 reps, but I wasn't down to parallel for that weight because I'm getting used to it.

Most everything else, I go up and down in weight to shock the muscle and get tone.:dunno:

 

That seems like powerlifting exercises :dunno: I'm off to work....later.

 

Powerlifting is 1-5 reps. Toning and such is 6 reps and higher. Powerlifting involves a lot of sets of 3s, 2s, and 1s. I rarely do those because I want sets of 6-10 minimum. I guess it could be called modified power bodybuilding. I just do it because I like the achievement and pitting myself against increasingly heavier weights. It's therapeutic for my intense mindset.

 

What's up with that avatar :nono:

Are routines are clearly different, but there should be a way to show we are continueing our routines, respectively.

 

what you should have said here is "OUR routines" :nono:

 

Keep a training log here. We could start a new thread and call it "The Fightbeat Training Log". That way we can post what we do in sets, reps, and exercises each week. :dunno:

 

You're not a fan of Green Lantern? ::

I took a quiz that said, "What kind of ring would you get?" and apparently I'd be a GL.

 

I curl 135 on the straight bar (bench bar)

If I swing and cheat I could get 185

 

That's what I did here before, look what happened to it :warning: 5 months straight, GONE :flip:

 

Not enough info:dunno:

 

Never tried to upload any videos anywhere.:dunno:

 

I was about to take a clip lastnight of my eliptical on hands but didn't do it very long..

 

Not much different than uploading pics. You will navigate from "browse" and find your videos, then push upload :dunno:

Did your computer come with any video software? I have videostudio, but it's a bit confusing for rooks because of all the bells and whistles.

 

Nope, we built it from scratch and everything is custom-made. I'll figure it out. At least I got a photo up.:dunno:

 

have you benched again yet? since posting this? have you gone up?

 

i didn't try for the max yet. i just did my regular sets. maybe this weekend i'll try for the max since i should be well rested then.

 

as long as you are not heavy benching too regularly, another thing I'd suggest is doing negatives with 300. get a feel for it on the bar, have a GOOD, STRONG spotter and or do it in the smith first.. but just lower it down nice and controlled.. I think getting a feel for the heavy weight really helps

 

that's a good idea. I'll probablly try that on my next chest day . thanks

 

how'd it go Kal?
