Probably a hundred already. We call each other bro over texts also. To be honest, I think I picked that habit up on AM.
You got that right bro!!

Nice!!!
And... Where did you get a ladder at the gym?
It's the Smith Rack. See wasme's video in his log or google "ladder push-ups". Good stuff.
Ooohhhh!!!! Got it. So you move the motha fukka up and down huh?
How many notches for each "step"?
I started at the lowest our smith will go and each notch is 4-6" higher. I don't know what is standard, but I went up 4 because at notch 5-6 you are very upright. I got a good WO with it. It's fun trying new things. Full-range of decline pushes!
Our regular rack doesn't go but a hair below my knee so that was way too high.
Feet down, hands on elevated bar. That's a decline position.
b) OH! I did do two sets of ladder push-ups. 4 levels each set, to failure. I didn't count but I got a great pump from it. Thanks @Invalid Link Removed! Lemme know if you have more!
I beg to differ. Maybe in comparison to bench press where you are anatomically facing the other way. But, anatomically you are at an incline
Okey dokey!!
I just wasn't pushing as hard as I could have, except the first SS, my triceps were about to explode out of my shirt.
My shoulders and triceps are kind of more developed than my biceps and chest relatively speaking.
I need more work on chest and biceps.
Oh, and the 'cable' I use at home is that tower 200 that my wife bought me a couple years back. It is mounted on the door and the bands have a certain weight rating. I am not sure how they compare to the actual cable weight ratings. Seems close to me
They're all different at my gym. I used one on bicep day that I typically don't use. Reverse grip curls, 200# (yeah right). So I *guessed* that 200 was closer to 90# because my reps were similar to the set before at the other one. Maybe you can attach a plate to it to see how close it is?

NOTEs:
a) I did various crunches between decline presses and deads. My plans were to do 6 sets each on lifts and 4 each on core, but I didn't.
I skipped dinner AND forgot my intranet BCAA's. I just didn't have the mmph today.

Here we go!! I feel that I gave it all that I had today, and then some. I almost dropped the fukkin bar on me during the decline bench. Racked it slanted and really almost didn't even get the right side on the rack, but I was prepared for a combat roll/weight slide. Crazy.

Not sure about decline, I was working so hard that I didn't pay attention
Took 2 PR-XT post workout with a protein shake, then I slammed down my breakfast about 45 minutes after, eggs, chicken sausage, a biscuit, applesauce with blueberries and strawberries, V8, and water.
You both are putting in solid fn' work!
Nice work, brother! Yeah, I love it when I hit a zone and forget to write notes, leg, etc.
I really need to take in more fruits. I brought 3.5 cups of green beans to work today because with my appetite I've been craving Cheetos. I probably should bring a green machine too.
You both are putting in solid fn' work!
so far im at 4 cups cottage cheese, greek lime yogurt, 1 egg, 4oz talapia, whey shake, 4oz sweet tater
so far im at 4 cups cottage cheese, greek lime yogurt, 1 egg, 4oz talapia, whey shake, 4oz sweet tater
still 1200 more calories to go
That is an ideal feeding. I need to tighten my sh!t up!
6 ways are killer eh! I remember having the same issue... lol
I usually do 2c cottage cheese and 1-2c vanilla Greek yogurt a day. Love the stuff!

Notes:
a) Last set of tri extensions was in a flat bench. My decline was taken.
b) I had to drop from 10's to 5's on 2nd set six-ways. Can't keep up with drewsicle3210 on this one!
c) The leaning cable tri ext was done alternating my palm fwd and backward, and that's not actual weight. I *believe* 25= 40-50#
d) I went and did one more set on the overheads because they felt great. I know it looks like I was stopping at 10 on most of my sets, but I was hitting failure. I was shaky at 7-8 reps.
And looking at your cable tri kick backs, i feel my band thingy is not what it says. I will do them at the gym next time and get an accurate number for those.
Just love the back and forth between brothers. Great idea for the log. Fun thread to read through even though I had a lot to catch up on.

I hope everyone had a great Father's Day and is ready to get back in the gym and destroy things!
I'm sure everything in there is great. I am going to lift at noon today, because I couldn't drag my ass out of bed
2 cups cottage cheese, 16oz chicken, 2c green beams, and frozen coffee. My breakfast isn't in there.
No worries bro. I wish I had the option of putting my WO off till later in the day. I hit a PR on squats this morning!
Nice job on the run bro...
Thanks, i sure miss running everyday. I am going to try to get a run in at least 3 days a week, if not more. Try to control the BF %
