Good stuff, Brute. Big things coming this year. You'll get the 315 bench soon for sure, but don't race Jim! He's sandbagging you.

Still, 3/4/5 right there in your grasp real soon. Nice.

Thanks Mike! Those squats will happen, one day. I know Jim can out bench me, but I'll do my best to match his total!

455X5 ... damn too strong Brute the Monster ...

Thanks Ravi!

Good day today. My numbers still seem piddly to me on these lifts, but we're getting there, one rep at a time.

Clean once, then press for reps
Bar x 10
95 x 5

125 x 8
125 x 6
125 x 6 - finally made all the reps!

185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 1
210 x 8
210 x 6
210 x 7

DB Bench - the pressing before hand is taking it out of me, but thats ok. this is accessory. I have to keep reminding myself of that
45 x 5
60 x 3
75 x 9
75 x 7
75 x 5
75 x 5

Hammer Curl
45 x 11

50 x 20
50 x 10 - my god the burn... using this weight until i can hit 40 in 2 sets.
