Improvement is the only way

[SMaLLnWeaK]

Just got done eating some Top Secret Big Wides Buffalo Chili....this shit is so good you go from zero to bloated in a matter of minutes. Light legs tonight, maybe start off with some squats and just focus on hitting depth and not going below it, that is a problem of mine but a good one. The nice cool fall weather is finally hitting the area so that only means on thing.....wearing big clothes and time to start growing

haha hell yea bro its gettting cooler here as well,hoodie time!! hide the bloat from eating so much and just fn grow liek a weed!!

[Hoomgar]

Hey Wides, check the Easton PA thread bro....

Hide the bloat....bro I rock the bloated look year round, I'll cut down when I am big enough to do so and right now I aint that big

Trained with Juggernaut

Squats - barx12, 135x10, 225x10, 315x7, 405x5, 315x10
Hamtractor - 5 sets 12, stackx12 on last set
Cybex Leg Press - 2ppsx10, 5ppsx5, 8ppsx5, 12ppsx3
Calf Raises - 8 sets of 12
Single Leg Ext - 4 sets 12-5, stackx5 on last set

Well only got two more sessions in this taking it easy week. Squats went real well and found a nice depth where I am just a hair below parallel and still have a spring in me. With the leg press the plan was to go 5pps, 8pps, 11pps....however The Brain Trust (Juggernaut and myself) saw an oppurtunity to add one more pie to it, so we did. It was a good session, got the bloodflow going, form was moving and we were moving. Tree Ornaments tomorrow

Good work Wides. Sometimes we all need an off week...

That we do, and it gets to be an annoyance with all the morons watching and they are the same ones that if either of us fell they would continue to watch as we lay on the ground. Def can't wait till the next ABC. Just trying to do what others have done before me, if that inspires people then it makes what I do just that much sweeter....

Thanks, the whole goal of this week's training is to get bloodflow into the muscle and keeping the joints good. The more bloodflow in the more stuff gets in there and helps in the long run. Although this week is playing with my head, I feel like I am getting smaller but my eating hasnt changed....

In your head for sure bro. No way your falling back that quick. Especially eating like you do. If anything, you may be growing more from the increased rest! Your mind is crazy powerful BW, believe this stuff.

Effeciancy or however you spell it is quite a way to build. Keeping it simple and moving weights is a way to build a physique properly.

Off today, and with it being a typical Italian Sunday there will be lots of food to eat, can't wait

[SMaLLnWeaK]

[Big Wides]

whats on the menu

Well I consumed about half a tray of baked ziti, 5 homemade meatballs, 3 sasuages ( 2 hot, 1 sweet), Pork that was cooking in the gravy all day (gravy = tomato sauce), several slices of garlic bread. For dessert I had some cookies and ice cream. Was nice and full when I hit the sack

Yeah, I'd say so. What grip do you use on the reverse pec deck? I find I get different emphasis depending on which handles I use.

Do you like BB Shrugs better than DB?

Baked Ziti is made the same way you make lasagana but you use ziti instead of the lasagna noodles....its quite tasty. I am sure Toni could elaberate more on it than I can....

Yeah, I'd say so. What grip do you use on the reverse pec deck? I find I get different emphasis depending on which handles I use.

'drake

I tend to use a neutral grip on the rev pec deck so that I can get the full "hug the barrel" movement. Its really helped with the development of the rear delts and also has helped me along with the bench nicely. See in my gym the DBs only go up to 125lbs, and got tired of rigging the HS Shrug to fit the pies on so moved onto barbell shrugs. With these the weight can really be added on which can help push the growth enevlope

[mjsef88]

Awesome shoulder day! How wide do you put your hands out for the Snatch Grip behind the neck press? I've tried them out a whole bunch of different ways and can't find something comfortable enough to go past 85lbs. Not many guys do it that way, so I'm just trying to get all the feedback from people who do them.

...and...

Baked Ziti ftw!

For the grip I go to the outermost part of the knurling, it normally is a thumbs length away from where the rings are, which is my normal snatch grip. It took me a while to get the grip down to where I could press the weight, but once I found the sweet spot I stuck with it.....

[Big Wides]

Another day off from the weights today.....which is a good thing so I'll be eating. If I get bored might head in and do some cardio to get the blood flowing.....we shall see

You left out the subs and banana splits WIDES.... It's gonna get ugly this winter like that, we better make sure our choice places to eat and buy keep a well stocked inventory.

APA First State Power Frenzy.....9/28/08

BW - 250
Division - Open RAW

Sqaut - 530 (3 whites), 575 (PR and 3 whites), 590 miss (got called by the side judges)
Bench - 340 (3 whites), 350 (3 whites), 380 (3 whites PR in a meet for me)
Deadlift - 535 (3 whites), 570 (PR and 3 whtes), 600 miss (small hitch mid-thigh)

Total - 1515 (PR)

Well all I can say about yesterday is wow. I shocked myself in what I could lift but I know there is a lot of room for improvement. It was also the first time lifting out of a Monolift and well I want one....made it real easy. Those two misses at 590 and 600 would count as gym lifts, which to me means I can handle that amount of weight on my back and off the floor. I think I also take the cake as the calmest competitor out there, walked up the the bar, fasted the belt, looked at the bar and lifted it. As the vids show that Hg posted (I havent looked at them yet) give a good feel for the meet. My bench attempts, looking back on them should have been better however the bench is my worst lift, I fatigue real quick on that and my main focus was to get a decent total out of the meet. It was humid as all hell in the back room but I would rather it be hot then cold. I would like to thank Kate for having this meet, the spotters and loaders, and those who came out to show support it means a lot. I am sore as hell right now, feel like I was hit by a bus but I will be back in the gym some point this week then next week its back to the grind

[Sugarbutt]

Wow...awesome job!!! Impressive numbers!!! Congrats on all the PRs! =)

[Big Wides]

Wow...awesome job!!! Impressive numbers!!! Congrats on all the PRs! =)

thanks Sugar.... I learn a little more each meet on what I have to do and what areas need improving to get to the goals I want. I am def going to let myself repair from this before training hard again....I dont feel that in these past months I have given myself enough rest to recover so that is def something that is going to change

Awesome job Wides! The 590 was very close...cant tell from the video, but very close I would imagine. You sandbagged your benches!!!! LOL, you had plenty more in the tank on those. I would imagine that you left at least 25lbs out there on your bench, but hey, you hit your goal of a good total and you know where youll stand next time.

Killer work big man...now you know you can pull 600 and shouldnt be missing 570 in the gym!!! LOL!!!

[Big Wides]

who? you mean whole im guessing?

yes I ment whole....can't type that well.

Those Videos Are Really Cool! Good Job Big Wides

thanks Pizza, it feels good to have all that hard work come to a head and get good results from it. now its time to get strong and big till the next comp

thanks IRBS, yes I know I sandbagged those benches which had me a little pissed after the meet...but you live and learn from meet to meet. Yes I can't be missing 570 anymore in the gym haha. Juggernaut said basically the same thing you did, that I did weights that I never touch in training then come time of the meet I am hitting these big numbers. It felt good to do all three, its a nice rush at the end of the day

[LittleMan55]

Vids looked good Wides! Congrats Big man! You moved some big weight and made it look easy... I think you could have been eating cheesesteaks while doing your openers...

[Powerfulkate]

I always bust on Big Wides and tell him to put some weight on the bar. It is totally obvious to me that he "plays it safe" with the poundage. Throw that calm demeanor out the door and get some rabies flowing BIG WIDES! I know you are good for more by watching you. I want to see what you are really capable of!

It was hotter than heck in the gym yesterday, but it didn't seem to affect you. You gave us an awesome performance in all three lifts.
Thank you for taking part in the FSPF.

Now put some weight on the damned bar!!! LOL -

thanks broc, those weights didnt feel all that easy but I am pleased with how I moved them. I will admit I was very conservative with my openers but the point of them for me during this meet was to get a mark down in the books then go for broke after that.

Yeah I do tend to play it safe with the weights for what reason I have no idea. It was hotter than heck in there and when I was warming up for the squat the bar kept slipping off my back, so that put a mental screw in my head but quickly went away. Thanks for hosting such a kick ass meet and next time I will put some weight on the bar and see what I can move under meet conditions and get that better total.

sweet..you did great..iam so proud of you! PRS...

thanks eblnyc, I am happy with the PRs it got so many monkey's off my back and lets me know how heavy I can go in training. So I feel the more I use the heavy weights in training the better accustomed I will be to handling them come meet time

i agree with Kate....Wides is holding back...i know he's got much bigger numbers in him.


and Kate the gym was not that hot....come visit us in july when the AC doesn't work and the humidity is 95%.....LOL

[JUGGERNAUT]

I'll keep this short... Wides next meets are going to be a sight to see, even more so than this one. The man has insane potential. (How many people put numbers in the books at a meet, that don't hit them in the gym training for it?) (Three lifts and 3 PR's to boot in each one) Just some crazy shit right there!

Thanks Juggernaut and a big thanks for making the trek down with me. I can't wait to get back into the gym and start training again, moving weights, getting bigger and stronger. I have no idea how I hit those numbers without touching them in training maybe its the food or the training style but I am def looking for bigger numbers in the future.

I was in Vegas and Big Wides was setting PR's. Congrats bro. Your truly are a fuckin goliath. Keep up the sick work.

thanks Enforcer, got some monkeys off my back this past weekend and the PRs felt good. Now its time to after and set some new PRs before the year ends, gotta keep moving forward with progress if I want to reach that "freak" status.

thats what I am hoping for.....next meet for me will be in 2009 need time to grow and get strong

if he doesn't I will drop a 100 pound plate on him.....

well thats motovation right there.....that would hurt a lot

[JUGGERNAUT]

It's no big deal Wides that you did not break the record this time out.

Why? This way, you make more people nervous what is around the block.

ALL your numbers will be higher next meet.... a statement that is easy to make.

(Unless McFly finds another reason to drop a 100lber on you before that meet)

[Jonisocool]

thats what I am hoping for.....next meet for me will be in 2009 need time to grow and get strong

hell yea. I love disappearing for a year, then making a bigger badder appearance. Do your thing bw

yeah got some work to do now and improve on what is in the books. I will be training hard, eating hard and resting hard since those out there that I will be competeting against will be doing the same as well.....I've gotta make my mark, stick to the plan and see what comes out of it

i'll be nice.... AND quietly preparing for the next meet in the leg room at TTC.....i will not be spotting/loading nex time!

I hear that and don't blame you about the spotting/loading thing... if you think about it, YOU had the highest total weight lifted of anyone... around 12 thousand pounds or more that day haha

[Hoomgar]

Congratulations Wides! Amazing job at that meet. I'll be looking forward to seeing the training leading up to the next one!

thanks Toni, now its time to get bigger, stronger, and improve on my physique, I am happy but not satisified. Bigger things need to happen so I am back in the gym today to do something so it should be fun.

[Big Wides]

Someone in my department in work is getting hitched this weekend so as the usual there was cake and brownies to be had by all. They both were quite good and go nicely with this ground beef, beans and pasta combo I'm eating now,

Chest....10/01/08 at 8PM in the place that steals intensity

Trained with Juggernaut

Bench - barx15, 135x12, 225x10, 255x14, 255x12, 255x9, 255x7
Barbell Curls - barx15, 65x12, 95x10, 115x9, 135x6, 155x1
Flies - 4x15-5

Calves - 7 sets 15-12 (gotta get a launchpad for the squat)

20 minutes cardio PWO

Did a bench your bodyweight for tonights session, didnt want to push it all to hard but wanted to get some work in. So went to natural muscle faliure and as each set went on fatigue set in faster than the set before, pushed one or two reps past it then racked the weight. Gotta say after the 255x12 set the amount of blood in my chest was a lot. Juggernaut came back real strong tonight, showing no signs of what has been bugging him and pressed fine. Still getting back into it but getting ready to take off again......

Nice work Wides. Gotta recover after the meet.

[LittleMan55]

Great way to get back into it Wides... I can't wait for the full blown freak show put on by you and Juggernaut!

[Big Wides]

Nice work Wides. Gotta recover after the meet.

Yeah I dont think I'll be moving anything heavy for another week or so. The rep work felt good last night and I personally dont think my body can handle anything heavy right now. Just focusing on pumping blood into the regions to help with the recovery process and to give me a reason to eat more.....

Great way to get back into it Wides... I can't wait for the full blown freak show put on by you and Juggernaut!

thanks broc, it will come in due time.....just gotta be patient

[Hoomgar]

Solid chest work Big Wides. Working on a bit of endurance now? Good plan. It's good to hear J is coming back too. Both you guys are super cool to talk with in person. I'd love to be able to hook up and train some day.

thanks Hg, not so much endurance more that I physically right now can't press a lot of weight. CNS is still a bit shocked/stressed so taking it easy but still moving weight. Yeah that mutant is finally feeling better, he had trouble warming up but then he started moving weights for insane amount of reps like they were nothing

[JUGGERNAUT]

Last night was wierd and I'm real happy it. Just last weak my left arm could not push anything and I was uncontrolably dropping shit almost on my face. Don't mess with pinched nerves is the lesson of today....if you are LUCKY, they heal with rest. Kinda pissed I could not do the pl meet with Wides the same day but after seeing the competition I have some work to do. Wides is going to be a wrecking machine.

You'll be out there sooner than you think and making one hell of a ruckus. I wil only be a wrecking machine through tough training, heavy weights, eating right, listening to my body, getting rest, you know all that good stuff that makes this shit tough.....this isn't rocket science here, we're just lifting weights

[Big Wides]

Did some cardio yesterday only 35 minutes of it....chest is still sore today which means either I am not eating enough to recover or the high reps did there thing. Lower body work tonight....can't wait for that

[McFly]

Did some cardio yesterday only 35 minutes of it..

what's this cardio you speak of?????

[Big Wides]

what's this cardio you speak of?????

dunno....i got lost in the gym and found these hamster wheels and figured they looked like fun, which is where I went wrong....zero fun there. Except for a couple of indivduals who where sprinting on them like they were in the olympics and the lady who was next to me cheering during the Phillies game....she was clapping her hands and pumping her fist in the air.

[Big Wides]

Just placed an order and got some OKG.....it sounds like a real good supp. I will be taking it PWO with my Torrent. Should be fun

Except for a couple of indivduals who where sprinting on them like they were in the olympics and the lady who was next to me cheering during the Phillies game....she was clapping her hands and pumping her fist in the air.

ahh i've seen those running machines....and those bikes to nowhere.....i don't get it.....

[JUGGERNAUT]

what's this cardio you speak of?????

This is what he does when I'm not around hahahaha can't turn your back on these kids these days.

[JUGGERNAUT]

Tonight is legs and last night I had a dream about PIES.

Congrats on the PL meet Wides, I heard you did real well.

mmmm apple pie.....

mmmm apple pie.....

ditto but I meant PIES as in 45lb plates ;-) (Our damn gym does not have 100lb plates, SOB!)

mmm PIES.....


mine has 6 100's but they are at the fuckin trap plate loaded machine, 2 at the plate loaded pull down and ONE on the other side of the gym at the olympic stadium.

im not walking 100 pound plates over there.

45's are the way to go

Congrats on the PL meet Wides, I heard you did real well.

thanks NG, now its time to improve on that, get bigger and get ready for the next one....whenever that is and shock people

you where close to a record in the last meet i heard??

[Big Wides]

you where close to a record in the last meet i heard??

yes i was.....but next time out it wont be good enough. For either myself or the competition that is out there, it needs to increase no matter what be it records or not (I didnt even know I was close until Powerfulkate mentioned it here). To me its all about getting better with each time, I got the 1500+ total now its time to shoot for the 1600+ total. Its a matter of getting into the gym, busting my balls each rep, each set....getting food in me and the proper rest. Each time I compete it HAS to be better than the last time, no fucking excuses....its not my way. My next one isnt until 2009 somewhere but I will be damned if I am not ready for it. Next week its back to full bore training........NO EXCUSES

I have dreams about pies (both kinds), there are also ones about pancakes, pizza, jumbo burritos, very large dumbbells...

[Pizzalamp]

Did some cardio yesterday only 35 minutes of it....chest is still sore today which means either I am not eating enough to recover or the high reps did there thing. Lower body work tonight....can't wait for that

Legs.....10/03/08 at 8PM

Trained with Juggernaut

Squats - barx10, 135x10, 225x10, 315x10, 315x10, 315x10, 315x10, 315x10
Decline Situps - 12, 8, 7, 5
Rev. Hack Squats - 1ppsx3, 4ppsx3, 4ppsx3, 4ppsx3, 4ppsx3, 4ppsx5

20 min cardio PWO

All of these reps were done slow, so the signature "Wides Pop" wasn't there. Hit the squats deep and controlled which helped with the high reps....allowed me no to get burned out. Walked like a friggin duck the rest of the night, the decline situps helped stretch out the legs and hip flexors. Feeling good

[Big Al]

Wides??????What do you think about the meet???

[LittleMan55]

Great leg work Wides...

I can only imagine what is going to happen to the weights if you accept the big mans invite.

[Brick By Brick]

Decline situps after squats and leg work, eh? Interesting, I will have to try that. My hip flexors seem tight these days.

[Big Wides]

damn Bigs! those were some sick numbers in the meet you did man. 275 raw weightclass? thats what im going to be getting into very very soon. truly an inspiration for me bro. ill drop by again bro. keep it up!

Thank you for your kind words bro, I dont know how I missed this....it means a lot and being held in this regard makes me train that much harder. I will not let up at all in my training or my journey to get to where I want to go, I have only gone a little way thus far and have a lot of road left to travel

Decline situps after squats and leg work, eh? Interesting, I will have to try that. My hip flexors seem tight these days.

It felt great, it stretched out the legs after doing all those squat reps. the decline was steep so at the bottom was the real stretch. Throwing them in during the middle of the session should help me bring them up and make them stronger in the end

[Pizzalamp]

excellent job on legs

thanks for the tip on decline situps

Seated Front Mils - barx10. 135x10, 155x5, 185x5, 225x5 (all reps were held for a 2 count at the bottom of the motion, then pressed up)
Calf Raises - ??setsx 12-8 reps
Rev Pec Deck - 5 sets, stackx5x2, last set was half stackx8
Skull Crushers - 135x5, 135x4, 135x5, 135x4
Standing DB Front Raises - 25x10, 45x5, 45x5, 45x5, 45x5, 45x5

20 min cardio PWO

Nice change of pace today, those pauses on the front military press really hammered the shoulders nicely. It made all of the weights feel heavier than they did and will help bring up the brute strength factor. No idea how many sets of calves were done but it felt good.

[KiNgKoNgPrOnGeD]

boulder shoulders for sure man haha! quick question..Are your workouts more powerlifting style or just to get bigger and aid all the supporting groups?

[Big Wides]

boulder shoulders for sure man haha! quick question..Are your workouts more powerlifting style or just to get bigger and aid all the supporting groups?

thats a good question.....my roots are in with the Westside Barbell Templates which I used throughout high school for football and track. As I got into my last year of high school focused more on the olympic movements with some powerlifting shit thrown in there. During college my training was on a wave.....during May-October it was pure olympic lifting since I was out of school and I could focus more on them. Once the track season started in Novemeber we went to a combo Westside Template with olympic lifts. So right now I am def training in a powerlifting style, heavy weights. low reps but at the say time I am looking to get bigger overall and build up the supporting muscle groups to turn the Big 3 into stronger lifts overall....which will make me a better powerlifter overall as well.

So I guess its a weird version of powerlifitng, bodybuilding, and pure insanity.....

nice job wides...and damn 225 with the pauses is tough...heavy front raises too...what grip do u use on the fronts? and do u believe in working front delts al the time or u think they get indirect work with pressing etc?

interesting. right now with my workouts im like in a weird mix of powerbuilding and powerlifting, with an olympic type movement thrown in to shock the body. ive been looking up all kinds of powerlifting regimens to start going off of once 2009 rolls around. because thats when I'm goin to make my prime focus powerlifting, entering competitions n such. just trying to absorb some ideas of a good route to start off of

[Big Wides]

thanks Pizza, the grip used on the fronts was palms down with the db being horizontal and raised to eye level. It depends on the frequency of training the front delts for me, sometimes yes I feel the need to get them done, espically if I am hitting a stale point in my pressing power but if it is a heavy pressing week then I tend to try and stay away from them. Its all a matter of preference I guess, but to me I need to hit all bodyparts at some point during my training weeks if I ever hope to become one of those monsters out there

you are doing the right thing by researching different routines and go with whatever one you feel is going to help you the most and fit into your schedule. but with whatever one you choose give it 3-4 months and you'll see the results

Trained with Juggernaut

Shock Therapy/Intra Aid Preworkout

Deads - barx8, 135x5, 225x5, 315x5, 405x5, 500x3, 545x1
Hamtractor - 5 sets 15-12, stackx12 on last set
Rack Pulls (1" above the knee) - 315x4, 405x3, 405x3, 405x3, 405x3, 405x5
Roman Chair - 5 sets of 15 (each set was 5 reps bended knee, 5 reps straight leg, 5 reps bended knee)
Hypers - 4x12

3 scoops GAA Torrent and 9 OKG Postworkout

Done, no cardio PWO legs could not have handled that. Moved my stance closer than it has normally been, more of a shoulder width stance and the old Wides Spring Action Deadlift returned. Got tremendous speed of the floor and it got my hips involved early in the lift. That 500x3 set, I approached it as if I get 1, go for another until I fail, the third rep felt like a ton so I stopped. Hit some other assistance work and the rack pulls above the knee helped with the lockout portion of the lift. Going to be eating hearty and resting till Wed.....feels good to move weight again

[Firedrake]

Ni-i-i-ice work. I certainly understand about the legs -- when you're too tired to get your legs up on the treadmill or stairmaster without falling over.

what a week

yeah that about sums it up

[LittleMan55]

Great work Jim! 500 x 3... Man I got some work to do! Keep working hard bro, pretty soon your going to be like a hydrolic jack...

[Hoomgar]

It's good to see you back pullin the big numbers off the floor bro. I am REALLY curious to see how you do with that OKG too. It is supposed to really help increase GH so with the way you eat and train, you should deff see results if this is true. How long you plan to run it?

thanks Hg, as am I to see how it works. I have heard good things about it and done my own research on it so I knew what I was getting into. Right now I have 2 bottles which is a 22 day supply (200 pills/9pills a day = 22)....so midway through I'm going to get another 2 bottles and run it for say 2 months so that I can see how it works for that duration

good to hear and i feel the same way, 1500 is a milestone man, and you seem to be well balanced in your big 3 so you got good potential to reach 2100+.

im gettin ready for my first meet, next year's october. i just wanna be the best i can and im milking every second of this year that i can.

do you ever lift in gear or do you always lift raw? 1500+ raw is pretty sick!

[prowrestler]

mmmm FARMERSWALKING 100lb plates haha Can you say grip strength?

god no, especialy considering i gotta go through the cardio section with tiled floors!

they are scatered every where in my gym lol so im fine with yummy pies!

[JUGGERNAUT]

I have to bring this up again... How about the guy that walked up to you in GLOBO and said in his snotty way... (HIM) "You just had to put those 21/2's on there (Wides deadlift of 500lbs) to make it a round number huh? I had to laugh when I saw that"

(WIDES silent thoughts) No you freaken moron, it's 5 more pounds to lift idiot, do you have a clue at all??????????

I myself told the guy the 21/2 is called the powerlifters best friend but that went straight over his head too.

do you ever lift in gear or do you always lift raw? 1500+ raw is pretty sick!

Thanks for your kind words. To answer your questions I have never lifted in any type of gear, its always been RAW. There are a couple of reasons why I haven't done anything in gear one of them is the price of the acutal gear, another is I would have to relearn how to lift and the third one is that I enjoy lifting RAW. Not to knock any of those out there who use gear but as of where I stand now and how my training is going I am going to remain the way I am. Now, that doesnt mean that I won't use gear at somepoint down the road cause I may have to, but for now I'm keeping things simple. Eventually I would like to start using knee wraps and getting used to them, just to see what they can do for my squat.

Anyway, good luck prepping for your first meet, a lot can be done in a year just stay the course, eat good and smart, and keep things consistant and you'll do fine.

cool, i lift raw too, atleast for abit. i use A knee wrap cause i hurt my knee in 2007. just to be safe.

thanks, i wanna see if there is an age class aswell. see if i can set any records up here. it would be nice on my c.v. for WWE lol!

what do you mean by eat smart though?? im getting mixed feeling lol! maybe its from mhy last meal of 50 grams whey,8 oreos and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 1 cup of milk plus 1 cup of water. im trying the dirty bulk,seeing how i dont add fat on my body easily, very hard too for me.

By eating smart is how it sounds....to be a successful PLer or athelte for that matter you dont go out and eat a sleeve of oreos, a couple of big macs, a sundae washed down with a diet coke (not saying there is anything wrong with this)....but get your main whole food meals in then if you want that other stuff enjoy it in moderation. Too many people out there think that the only way PLers set PRs or the like is because they dont care what they eat, that they are fat and out of shape. Thats not the case you can eat healthy, put on the size needed, and be strong as fuck without getting into the junk. The physquie of the "modern day" PLer is going away from how it was in the 80s and 90s with the fat guts to more of indivduals who are in better shape athletically speaking who can withstand the loads of weights out there.....but that last statement is just my opinion

[Pokoritel]

Yea I agree with you Wides on the whole eating thing. I wouldnt want to be that fat guy who is strong or that shredded guy who has no strength. A combination of both is always best.

Felt good to move some weight again, no idea why I paused with the 365 but got it up. The barbell curls were done with a wrist curl first, then the barbell curl....its real taxing and makes the weight feel heavier than it is. Followed that with some calves and DB Inclines to hammer everything home. Juggernaut's pressing is increasing, he is coming back nicely from that speed bump. Also, Big G was there hammering away with an assualt on his back. He's a force to be reckoned with and was moving some soild weights, in other words he was looking good

Felt good to move some weight again, no idea why I paused with the 365 but got it up. The barbell curls were done with a wrist curl first, then the barbell curl....its real taxing and makes the weight feel heavier than it is. Followed that with some calves and DB Inclines to hammer everything home. Juggernaut's pressing is increasing, he is coming back nicely from that speed bump. Also, Big G was there hammering away with an assualt on his back. He's a force to be reckoned with and was moving some soild weights, in other words he was looking good


Nice!

Awesome work, Big Wides!!

Nice!

thanks IRBS, just starting to get back into the swing of things with moving heavy weight....gotta be consistantly at 400 or more in the bench to get those big numbers to stick

Awesome work, Big Wides!!

thanks Thrawn.....I am baby stepping to bigger numbers and a better physique everytime I hit the weights

Great work Wides... Bench looks solid, and thats a lot of sets curling 135 for reps... Then again no one ever said getting huge would be easy.

nice sesion man, is this a routine you use to gain weight for the next competition? it seems like something you'd do when you need to get bigger to lift more. that pause 365 sounded pretty sick!

thanks bro, the 365 felt good with the pause and the 385 flew up....good sign there. The amount of curling that is a guess, I think we did more sets than that but I lost count, it was good espically the tech. used. Getting huge isnt easy but sure is fun

thanks pro, yes but the reps and sets are subject to change, nothing is really set in stone. The only consistant will be the heavy weights. I do need to get bigger and lift more so this is working fine, not only leaving feeling good but the next day is insane as well

yes, gotta listen to your body, what works for you works for you. if more reps and sets get you big, do it. if less volume and heavy weight is your way,its your way.

whats it like squating though with the higher volume? its gotta suck after the max effort squating,having to look at leg presses, lunges, leg curls or
