have they helped you progress since you started using them. been doing really well with just regular ol' free weights, but i'm always up for something that works better.

[tattoopierced1]

yeah they have helped some explosiveness...we actually just started using them about a month ago.

Thats incredible, you are doing great big guy. I can't wait to see how well you do at your next meet. Keep up the good work!!!

Beezle and tattoo, long ass chains would work similar but still wouldn't build speed like the bands do.

You train at WSB on the weekends only-or during the week too? I would die to train at a gym with equipment like that.

[NickW]

This was a really good workout for me, for was great and I went 15lbs heavier (I think, too lazy to look) than last time while using heavier bands. George was very happy/impressed with the progress I am making.

[NickW]

OK, no workout today but I did get my new Radical cut Dbl Denim from Inzer today . I will definately be trying it out tomorrow after I go for 660 (and if I hit that 675), then I will try 800 paused for a couple reps with my new shirt.

I have also added (on friday) my pheraplex on this supplement cycle and am feeling great and very strong!!!

[Apowerz6]

Oh boy you are going to love pp esp with the strength gains. And yes the strength stays.

Yeah, I can't wait till it really starts kicking in. The PP + XCEED should get me more than ready for my upcoming comps!!! Getting sponsored by DS has been very beneficial for me, and their supps have been a big part of my accomplishments so far.

[NickW]

Chest (raw and abbreviated due to lack of spotters...bastards closed school gym early and I had to go to rec center)

Bench
315x5
405x5
510x5
615x3
665x1 - easy, wanted 675 but spotters left

Thats all I got to do tonight. The bar supporting the incline broke when I tried to bring 405 to my chest. Its a small gym with very little equipment (only 800lbs of plates) and only a handful of people who lift there. I was happy with the 665 but wanted more, every time I hit a PR I get greedy for more. I will do inclines and tri's tomorrow when I am lifting at the HS, then I will do the workout I have planned for tomorrow also.

[NickW]

Chest......continued
Incline
315x5
405x5
500x3
535x3
575x1

Triceps
Medial head presses(the one I don't know the name of,lol)
100'sx10x4

rope press downs
200x10x4

I only got a chance to finish yesterdays workout today due to the weight room closing early (for break). Didn't go as heavy as I would have liked today either, I think I had a 600lb incline in me but I was being spotted by highschool kids and didn't want to chance it. I guess back and delts will wait for friday and legs on sunday after I try for 675 on bench.

you should try your shoulder work(front raises, laterals, pull aparts) with bands, i started it and fell in love

[NickW]

I would if I had bands of my own, instead I just use the ones at WSB. I will be getting a pair of purples and blues here soon (as soon as I can afford it).

[guyfromkop2]

yea i bucked up and bought a pair after some harrasement from a guy on another board, probably the best investment i've made. if i'm allowed to post the webiste from where i got them i will, i got them pretty cheap

I can get them from Louie pretty cheap, I am just still paying for other equipment I bought from him, lol.

[guyfromkop2]

haha, that's great. you should go over to ironaddicts.com some great plers over there, i'm sure you know a couple of them.
