I just got a phone call from mister magoo....

it seems his interests have switched from powerlifting to swimming and tennis recently, and he promised he'll be back to post vids that'll document progress of his butterfly stroke and backhand soon...

diiiiiick.

to be honest, i just really, really haven't felt like posting. same bullshit going on, different day. no changes, same loudmouths going "hahaha you're a homo" and whatever else. really boring.

so my bench topped at 375, but i was 232 at the time. so... i started trimming down. utilized crossfit workouts for weight-loss purposes, still lifting moderately heavy. benched 340 yesterday, which considering i weighed 207 isn't that bad.

here's what a 207 pound magoo looks like, by the way.

Good to see you posting again. Looking good

Overload · « **Reply #833 on:** May 13, 2009, 11:51:03 AM »

You look great bro!

Awesome work cutting weight and getting that bench to a VERY respectable number.

"Other people will try to bring you down to their level, because they see you are much better than them."

Good luck!

How's Hurley?

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #838 on:** May 13, 2009, 01:57:19 PM »

oh hurley's as awesome as ever, haha.

i'm AMAZED my strength isn't tanked. i'm in the gym six days a week, eating lightly, and yet i'm still doing okay. it's craziness. here's an example of a workout, what i did today:

warmup: 3 circuits
samson stretch, 20 seconds per side
10 chins
10 dips

incline DB bench: wanted to crush 'em, but no.
65x10
80x8
100x6
120x? - one 110 was broken, so i went up to 120s, needed a boost on the first and the two after that weren't really good.

feet-up bench:
135x5
225x3
275x1
295x1 - see video!

"Cindy": 20 minutes, as many rounds as possible
5 chins
10 pushups
15 squats
TOTAL - 21 rounds exactly, absolutely horrible

some light shoulder stuff to stretch out

video: you'll just have to trust me that it's 295 and the spotter wasn't on it.

bonus video: check it out. 335 close-grip from March.

Welcome back! Dropped to 207 while you were gone!?! That's alot of weight, congrats.

But, hahahahahhaa you're still a homo.

Good stuff Magoo!

hey magoo could you elaborate more about your warmups with the samson stretch and the cindy circuit at the end of your last workout...just curious..

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #844 on:** May 16, 2009, 08:59:14 PM »

there's not a whole lot to elaborate on really. it's pretty straight forward. hold the samson stretch (google image search for what it looks like) for about 15-20 seconds each side, then do a quick ten pushups and dips, repeat 2-3 times until you feel good. the "cindy" was just what it sounds like, doing five chins then ten pushups then fifteen squats as fast as possible, repeating the process nonstop until 20 minutes have passed.

today's was this:

warmup x 3

box squats:
135x5
225x5
315x3
365x1
405x1
425x1 - all things considered, i'm surprised i got it.

modified "Diane": 21-15-9 reps, circuit for time
deadlifts with 225
standing military with 115
FINAL TIME: 7:05

some back raises to stretch out and such

two more quick shots, one me, one dawg. by the way, that's 206 pounds at 6'2. oh yes, i'm realizing just how fucked up one's perception of size is.

burn2live · « **Reply #845 on:** May 17, 2009, 03:10:12 AM »

Looks like your training is going great man. Hurley looks awesome!

ripitupbaby · « **Reply #846 on:** May 17, 2009, 05:40:36 AM »

LOL, i actually recorded a little vid of me poking and tugging on his tongue while he was asleep. didn't move the whole time. it's a riot.

some random vids. 205 at 6'2 (aka "skinny as all hell") struggling with light weights.
