Thrillho Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've gone as that for Hallowe'en more than a few times No-one ever gets it, though. I have no idea what my BP/DL/WHATEVER numbers are, I don't have access to a gym right now. This summer maybe, when I get myself out of the craphole of my current physical state I'll take some better measurements. The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well. There was aggression on both sides. Link to comment
wildross Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 345 1x5 yesterday. My back is sore today, but I'm pretty sure that's more from squats and romanian deadlifts than the straight deads. I don't know how I'm going to golf in half an hour.Don't hurt the little white ball. How far can you drive it? Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

wildross Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 DL - 5x375Squat - 3x5 @ 255Bench - 3x5 @170So back to the "everyone can be special at something" idea for Thrillho...I'm at Dead 315Squat 295Bench 315and dumbbell rows, 3 sets of 6 with 115# dumbbell (what???? That means when ladywildross hits her goals, I can pick her up with one hand...). And my arms don't look very big. I'm eyeing the 125# dumbbells at the end of the rack wondering what I use after I toss those guys around a few times. And it is just ULTRA cool to see the young body builders struggling with 60# dumbbells. I also do over head extensions with those (standing, two hands, lower the weight behind my head).I remember thinking I'd never be able to benchpress 225#, and having that as my 'big' goal. I'm never going to catch Spezzy on the deadlift ratio (probably, I'll be close to 500#). But she is way behind me on the bench ratio...I think it does help to have one thing that you can be really good at. Sort of your 'go to move'. Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

Thrillho Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 My "go to move" is I can snap a front-side kick up in front of someone's eyes and hold it there for a second, then retract it slowly and go back to a regular standing position. People hate that. The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well. There was aggression on both sides. Link to comment
andygates Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 If you did that with a small cupcake held between your toes, I'd probably die of awesome.And eat your foot.My go-to's deadlifts, has been for a while. Still working on that 225 bench. Link to comment

WizardTrip Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Earlier I mentioned I was hoping to hit 1x5 @ 350lb on my DL today....well, I didn't care to bother with those 5lb and 2.5lb plates to hit it, so instead I opted for just the 10lb plates, I hit 355lb! :-) WOOT!!For this, I believe that 10-12 hours worth of St Paddy's day celebration tomorrow is in order..... *calculating hours in head* ....yeah, that sounds about right!

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Don't hurt the little white ball. How far can you drive it?About 300. The problem is that 60 of that is to the right. On the rare straight drive, I've hit 260ish, but haven't measured out in awhile.Redoing my swing right now trying to get rid of the slice.
