Ancalagon The Black Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Today I did 200 lbs X 5 for 1 set and then 200 lbs X 3 for another set and deloaded on the 3rd to 195 lbs X 5. I didn't manage a perfect 3 X 5 on 200 lbs but I broke the barrier and it feels damn good. It was a long time in coming especially after I had to deload to 155 after my 2 month hiatus when I went home. squee. Ancalagon The Black. Half Dragon Spellsword Link to comment
Irish Oisin Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Fantastic! I'm hoping to reach that myself soon enough! Go BIG, or go home. Link to comment
Rooks Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Awesome work man! Always feels great when that next digit in the 3rd column changes and you can actually lift it! Link to comment
Ancalagon The Black Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Thanks. Yes. I can lift in excess of 350 lbs for squats and deadlifts and was always lagging behind on OHP and the bench. Not any more, I have decided. Not any more. I want hyooooge shoulders.

wildross Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Contrary to what many think, the bench uses a lot of arms/back/abs rather than just pecs. Regardless, benches and OHP's make your shoulders big! Just remember the pullups and rows too to keep things balanced fore and aft. Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

I intersperse all my compound barbell lifts with pull ups/ chin ups between every working set and alternate Pendlay rows with power cleans. Ancalagon The Black. Half Dragon Spellsword Link to comment
