jealous you are already there


get after that 600 lift.
no doubts you will reach it before August

You will hit 500 a lot sooner then you think, and I will be following your log to see it!

And thanks really can't think about anything else except hitting 600.

The 10 reps really weren't that hard, the only problem was trying to catch my breath.

Haha thanks beast!

I stopped counting calories once I hit about 5,200 a day, so thinking around 5,500?

Thanks, and as I said to mark I you will hit it very soon and I will be following.

And squats and rack pulls just made a fun workout a really fun session!

30 mins of sprinting, took awhile to warmup today but once I did everything went really well very good speed.

You're 16!!! Bloody hell, I assumed you were early 20s for some reason. Are you out to break some world records lad! You're making us oldies look bad

Phenomenal stuff as usual you ridiculously strong so and so

Notes: Very happy with benching tonight, a little mad that I missed 295 but got all my singles this week. Going to the hardware store on Saturday make some cheap boards, and will try to order my bands asap.

Could have rowed more but form start to really break so called it quites.

My SS felt really good, dips felt very strong tonight going to add even more weight to them next time!

[markievicz]

good benching mab , dont sweat the 295 , it will come. and soon i bet

[big_swede]

Beastly work Mab!! Youre damn strong.

[BendtheBar]

Surprised you missed that 295 with how easy the 290s seemed.

Have a good weekend.

Thanks to all of you, and I wasn't really shocked when I missed it. I went through warm-ups way to quick and just wasn't in the right frame of mind. Trust me, I will get it next week.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Notes: Came in expecting great thing, especially after the first 365 set. The first 375 set, the only reason I didn't get 3 or 4 reps was that I started to lean forward and couldn't get back up straight. After that I knew I wasn't go over 375 tonight.

Then during the second set my shoulder really started to hurt, tried doing some shoulder warmups type stuff and then a little log work but I didn't want to hurt myself tonight.

Also had a little hip pain on the left side, same one I had on tuesday during andersons.

Once I got to about the 12 rep with 300 my shoulder and hip both started hurting and I knew that there was no way, at least not tonight but still next week.

The 8 singles felt very light, so I only had about 30 seconds to a min in between sets.

Overall a pretty bad day, but at least I'm stronger then last week and have the weekend to take care of the pains and heal up.

[big_swede]

Pretty beastly work for a bad day mab. Reast up and come back stronger!

Checked through here a few times now, like the look of your sessions, great work. Saw your lifts/age on the league and you can only have a bright future ahead, wish I was off my ass and doing something useful at 16!
