These days fuckstick only does "powerlifting style cheat curls" pushing against the wall with his back and standing at a 45 degree angle and doing 1/4 reps.

A real powerlift like the squat folded him like a cheap lawn chair so he quit like the kunt he truly is.

Fuck, I read that and thought I wrote it

You know a powerful physique when you see it from the back. Lats, Traps, erectors, thickness, etc...
Most are into the mirror muscles, like we all were once as a kid.
Once that focus is dropped (by most people probably in their mid 20's) the real strength will tehn come.
Squats, Bench, Rows, DL's, OHP. The big-5 for strength & power...

Posing your guns and most muscular is fine (mirror muscles), just doesnt mean much when it comes to strength & power...

It does have a very WS vibe to it, quality imitation by wes.

Going in to do some seated military barbell press fresh today what would you consider strong in that Rat?

Stupid Question Of Peace

Use a fucking weight that makes you work hard in textbook form for the rep goal you`re shooting for.

Did you just start training last week?

A 225# guy that's been juicing for years should be doing 225 for reps. I'll cut you some slack and ask for the video of you doing reps with 155 standing.

He has said previously that this is too easy to bother with taking a video, similar to my request for a 315 deadlift.

Lighter push session of week tonite, trying to keep heavy free weight work to Saturday and Sunday when not fatigued from work and go to gym through week all body parts hit 2x weekly

Hammer strength shoulder press - 1x8, 1x12

Weighted dip - have never been able to do dips always felt like shoulders were going to explode on bottom position then as daft as it sounds read a tip by Dante saying inhale slowly all way down taking in as much air as can and holy fuck it worked zero shoulder pain. Only used 5kg/11bs after warm ups and got ten reps body weight 226 currently but only 3rd time doing dips so plenty room for progress

Hammer strength incline - 1x8, 1x10
Smith machine jm press - 1x9, 1x14
Machine lateral raise - 1x15, 1x20
Machine fly - 1x9

Felt good enjoyed session

that’s great!Dips are like chins if you get strong there you will be strong all over

range of motion is key here on a barbell press when talking poundage.... how far down do you go? eyeballs, nose, chin, upper chest?

[robcguns]

Yessir. Dips and chins I think build the upper body like nothing else. If choosing only two upper body moves to do ever again it would be those two.

By the look of your delts, you seem like you could be strong in that exercise.
IMO 185 for some reps is strong. But others here might have a better grasp on that (what is strong what is not).

[bhank]

Correct 155 is still nothing I see at least you guys are asking for reps now instead of a single

[bhank]

I was doing them behind the neck which kind of limited my range of motion so probably about chin level. The issue is the rack is too far from the shoulder I don’t really like the lift off and rerack doesn’t feel stable for heavyweight may try them in the squat rack standing next week. May also try to the front like I did lat time

[bhank]

I managed 15 on the first working set after 2 warmup sets filmed from behind then did one from the front for 12 then this was the final for 10 or 11 maybe hard to film from front as wall is 3 feet in front but this is 155lbs so yeah 155lbs for a rep is not a challenge

Notice how far in front the rack is I didn’t like that it’s too far the lift off sit back feels unstable on the shoulder I can press heavier but I really don’t like the lift off sit back

[wes]

155lbs for a rep is not a challenge

.....and it shouldn`t be for anyone worth his salt in this game......I used to do it seated for reps weighing about 150 pounds.....no problem,and I`ve gotten a lot stronger since those days.

No lockout which means no full range of motion, which means no credit given.

lol ok Hater locking out takes the tension off the muscle and puts it on the elbow why would you want to do that?

Hey an almost intelligent training post from you.....will wonders never cease.

I posted it because I can`t fucking stand you.

[wes]

....and with your laundry list of injuries you shouldn`t even be doing behind the neck exercises as you are definitely gonna` impinge your shoulder joints.

When did you start these,yesterday,when you upped your GH and Tren......bio-identical of course.

For someone with shit shoulders and even worse mobility....BTN pressing is another recipe for injury.  But hey, you can always add that to the list of excuses why you couldn't compete ; so kudos to you.
