Impressive log, bro. I just compared the first couple pages to the last couple, you're doing pretty damn well for yourself. This board could use more honest posters like you, Overload and wicked, and less 1,000lb bencher-millionaires.

lol, 33" actually. that's what a 33" waist looks like on a guy over six feet tall.

once i think my lifts are good for my size, i'll start adding weight. i can't hit that 405 bench cutting calories, that's for damn sure.

Good stuff. I haven't worn pants that size since high school so I have no clue what it feels or looks like anymore

Awesome job though on the cutting and keeping your lifts high.

72 hours, right?

Maybe he ripped his arms off doing a 405 deadlift and can't type anymore.

Peerhaps a deload week. IIRC he is in Texas. Maybe he was preparing for the possible hurricane? Im sure all is well with him.

Heop everything is fine

thewickedtruth · « **Reply #640 on:** September 03, 2008, 10:01:42 PM »

where you at bitch?!?!

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #641 on:** September 04, 2008, 03:33:04 PM »

hey guys. everything's all right, just some life stress and school starting plus a whole week of absolute shit-ball workouts left me not too excited to update.

quick rundowns of what happened in my last two workouts:

TUESDAY

bench:
135x5
225x5
315x1 - paused
340x1 - paused (PR at this weight)
225x20 - fast set

incline DB:
100x10
100x10

THURSDAY

squats:
135x5
225x5
315x3
365x1 - belt on
405x3
405x1 - no energy
225x20 - the reps were actually easy as hell and i didn't struggle on any. i just couldn't breathe well after rep 15.

deficit pulls: touch and go
135x6
225x6
315x6
405x3 - probably a dumb idea after the squats

weight: 213

notes: i'm still doing cardio but i'm definitely not dieting. energy's back up and i'm not gaining weight so... whatever. all's well since i'm hitting some decent numbers again.

good stuff man, lot of work right there.

Zach Trowbridge · « **Reply #643 on:** September 08, 2008, 01:11:39 PM »

Hey, he's not dead. Good lifts, man.

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #644 on:** September 11, 2008, 02:20:47 PM »

bad deadlifting on monday. my form sucks again. highlights from the other two workouts (but not the whole things).

TUESDAY

bench:
135x5
225x5
275x3
315x2
345x0 - shoulders came out of line
345x2 - PR
315x4

DB incline: full stretch to full lockout, DB's clicking together at the top. way harder.
90x10
90x10
90x10

THURSDAY

squats:
135x5
225x5
315x3
375x1 - belt on here
415x2 - PR
405x2

partial pulls: about 3" off the ground, since that seems to be where i stick
225x5
315x3
405x3
405x3

weight: 213-215

notes: squats are starting to get easier. i did those sets without a spotter and was surprised at how well they went. even the 415 with my stance being wider than i normally go, so i could have gotten a triple had i put my feet right. i've also never done more than one rep with anything above 405 on squats or 340 on the bench, so that's not bad either. go me.

Ursus · « **Reply #645 on:** September 11, 2008, 02:44:36 PM »

some nice bench numbers there magoo. congrats.

You still looking for 400 by xmas?

_bruce_ · « **Reply #646 on:** September 12, 2008, 04:26:37 AM »

Good stuff - some more vids would be cool...

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #647 on:** September 18, 2008, 05:09:34 PM »

Goudy, i'd like to hit 405, yeah.

bruce, ask and ye shall receive! sorry for the "ass cam" angle, my options were limited.

highlights lately:

monday - 405x5, 435x3 pulls paused on the floor

tuesday: 355x1, 315x5 bench (getting there again)

thursday: 405x3, 315x10 squats.

all weighing <215

thewickedtruth · « **Reply #648 on:** September 18, 2008, 07:43:55 PM »

SICK numbers man.. i think soon you might catch me in the bench.. Right now I've been working sub 365 weights for the past few weeks to hopefully get back in it. I'm not sure where it all went but my strength went out the shitter FAST!
