Going to try the EZ bar method today and will probably need some time to get in the groove with these.

TG we got you in the cross hairs!!

Ok guys...not great but I need to get the feel for these. These were seated EZ bar variety: 110x13. I think I have more I just don't feel comfortable with the exercise yet.

Fire when ready bro!! :AR15firing:

I have 1 more week until I hit up the challenge. I'm gonna wrap my wrists and elbows.
And I won't be holding ANYTHING back!!
I'll treat this lift like a powerlifting meet.
I'll approach it with the same mindset as a 600 plus pound Deadlift. :aargh4:

So..........LOOKOUT!!!!

I got 95x6 today, stopped because form was slacking on #7, then did 80 a bunch. Also didn't want to go to hard because it was arms day o_O

Pretty good for a newb imo :D

I'll try for 100x5 or more next week :D I think this GVT routine is kicking ass with Natadrol...3 pounds in 4 days is good stuff..

ok I raised myself one rep on the 130 today!! 130x6 with perfect form... 2 sets. The DB's here go to 150, so goal fir the end of these 5 weeks is 150x5... man this is going to be fun. Nothing like what TG is about to kill us with, but for this Army Guy... I will be pleased!!! might get a bronze medal!!
You got that right!!

IT HATH BEEN BROUGHTEN!!!

I jumped the gun. Wasn't supposed to hit up this challenge til next week, but I was ready for battle this morning!! I was super-charged. The living lightening was running through my veins with unsurpassed power and energy!!

This is how it went down..........2-Hand Behind Head DB Extensions--150X11.

Then when I grabbed up a 100lb. DB after this for some light ones......I pumped out 20 reps with it!!! It felt like a 50lb. DB after wrestling with that big 150 pounder!! LOL


I stand here on this rock in Bilskirnir awaiting my challengers!!!

Yeah I don't see that going down with our CEO; he would say screw that let's go get drinks. Not a lot of people here focused on nutrition and bodybuilding at my company.

Way to crush it, big man!! :head:


I wrapped my elbows. I believe I had a couple more reps in me. But I was satisfied with the first attempt at this challenge. I'll move up to a 160 lb. DB for the next round. :fing02:

Sounds like Army's stack is kicking in with all those exclamation points, lol! I know the feeling man, there are some freaks in here that are crazy strong. My only hope is my weight being almost 180 might help in the power to weight ratio.

You could sit the db on top of the bench and hold it up there with one hand? I do a step thing lmao, ground to thigh and thigh to shoulder and then fling it up there

I think I will have to do it next time - tomorrow.

I do mine on the 90 degree bench seat. So you could put it on top of the bench seat, then hold it up there with one hand, come around the bench and sit down, then the DB is pretty much in the start position already, just have to lift it a little.

This could just be total fail too though o_O

Ahhh, now I see what ya mean. I might try that instead of my way. But I like my way because you really get a feel for the weight on the way up. If I know it's too much I can just bring it down. But if I do it that way and it's too much, I'm kinda screwed since it's already behind me :p

My goal was 12, but i policed up my form on my 11th rep and and just stoped working for me.

Oh well, room for improvement, i'm at 165 pounds.

Normally I would... but I work out on a Marine base for now, and having a pissed off 6' 2" 230 Marine behind you with a crushed foot is never, ever, going to have a good ending :p
