175lbs dumbells

[geeizback]

I was at dowes when andrulla was there- probably mid late 90's!

I was living in hampstead and used to get a bus 50 minutes to archway. I then moved to angel and was on the bones of my arse so used to walk to Sav's to train.

when I moved to SE London I got somewhere near to skyline- its funny but it mattered more to me than bus route to work/ tube etc

last time i was living in london i was at gymbox- holborn and the one at bank. some lovely equipment in there- loads of hammer strength- but tended to be full of bellends.

Why use a 175lb dumbell when a 75 would make your chest just as big 

Don't hurt my Progressive Overload Principles. I'm warning you!

I used to train at the bethnal green one.

that along with down dynamics in archway and skyline in catford were amazing places

Dowe dynamics.!!
Sadly I have lost touch with Ian.
Not seen him for a few yrs,
How is he ?
Is his gym still there.?

75's don't impress all the other nobodies in the gym.

Relax; as long as you eat 6 meals a day and don't overdo cardio (no more than 30 min 3mph 2% incline) you'll be fine.

Changed gyms this week   Amazing gym I was like a kid in a candy store they have machines for every possible angle you want to hit your muscles from. Best gym I've trained in in London.

They had 175 lb dumbells hit a 2 reps flat dumbell press on my final set. Not bad.

Why the fook risking a 2 rep set ?  Wanna tear something, I've been there, ya don't wanna. Asshole.

i never do less than 25 reps when benching

there's 3 positive things with that

1. it gives a great pump
2. it is easier on the joins
3. i dont have to put weights on the bar

Try doing 2 seconds positive, and 2 seconds in the negative for each set.  Count "one, one-thousand, two one-thousand" as you lower, then same as you raise the weight".    Perform these slower reps on all your exercises for 8 weeks.    After 8 weeks return to your normal routine, and you will see a strength gain across the board on all your lifts.  This works amazingly well on compound exercises.

Nice lifting Mes.......congrats on being an animal !!

That isn't amazingly strong - it's just very strong.  I'm only saying this because I know I could do that too and I wouldn't want the naturals on this board thinking it wasn't possible.  What is amazing about meso is that he can do that and look incredibly in shape at the same time.

I remember years ago you saying "I lift for fighting" like benching heavy dumbells somehow automatically makes you a fighting machine!

Sorry you have me mixed up with some one else.

I'm not an advocate of violence ... But I can handle myself
And I know enough to know that pressing a bar with whatever weight doesn't mean you can fight...

Meso, how many times have u pressed 405 for reps?
