Well, I'm back hitting the gym pretty hardcore. Today I attempted the 200lb Dumbbells at Gold's Gym in Venice. This is the first time since I tore my pec.

After being frustrated by the 200's, I dropped down to 165lb Dumbbells and got 15 reps.

I hope to get the 200's for 10 soon. Just need some more practice. Those suckers are HEAVY!

Forgive the shameless plug of my GunPOWDER product. I just couldn't resist

Yeah those 200's look fuckin heavy.

do you train for strenth or bb or both?

when i said one time here flyes are better than benchpress i got laughts around here, but i stand by my opinion, my chest grows much better with flyes than any type of bench press movement. you get more width and the inner pecs pop out drastially. i like to do the dubmell flyes on a slight stance between flat and incline. for me personally flyes are the best musclebulding for the chest.

Good idea!

Good lifts. How much different is it to press like that? Seems like once you start getting up there in weight, the width of the dbs becomes a problem if you're pressing regular (and using particularly large plated dbs). I press fairly narrow, too so I'm think I'm going to have to switch at some stage.

What did you tear your pec doing? Bar benching?

Nobody has to lift heavy weights. Some of us just actually enjoy the challenge.

Thanks Bro. I think I'll be okay. I tore on a Flat Bench on my 6th rep of 505lbs.

Benching is stupid, but it was soooooo much fun!

I train for both. Mainly BB but I love to train heavy.

I've never once felt like db pressing was going to injure me. Even when I've been trying weights that I've failed without a rep on. I love it.

Thanks. The ONLY reason I press like that is because of the size of the DB's. It's impossible to get a decent range in the horizontal position.

Yes, tore it Bar Benching. The absolute worst thing you can do for chest. But I was doing it cause it was fun.

I eat anywhere from 3200-4000 cals a day approx 35% Protein, 50% Carbs and 15% Fat.

I do 45 minutes on the treadmill right when I wake up (actually have 1 scoop of Whey protein in water first), 5 days a week.
