got to thinking today, and realized that it has been 6 years since my last patella (kneecap) dislocation. it was the 2nd one in 365 days. the doctors said that i would not be able to compete in sports or train my lower body again. took a year to rehab my knee and during that time i was competing and training at full strength and now here i sit, 4 years of track and field under my belt (shot put, hammer, discus), and 6 years of powerlfiting on that same knee that would never be able to do anything.

its all about mind over matter, i have a mind and it didn't matter what the docs had to say..... never give up on what you believe in

Mad Respect brother. Thats right no one can tell you what to do with your life. Limitations exsist only in the mind. Our bodies are alot stronger than we are mentally. They can take a beating and get back up, You can't let the mind hold your body back.

[Big Wides]

Test and hjyass, thank you bros. i posted what i did yesterday not only because it was on my mind all day but also to let others know that when you overcome obstacles, no matter how big or small they are, it builds something inside of you. its like an internal flame that keeps you going for the long haul

thanks Riesjs, like everything that has to do with any level of competition, no matter what, BBing, PLing, Olympic lifts, hell even taking a walk everything takes dedication and in the end it will all come together

back tonight, no deads since legs are tomorrow:

barbell rows - warmups, 275x3, 275x3
narrow grip pullups - 6, 5, 5
cs rows, 2piesx12, 3piesx8, 4piesx5
hs high row (lever grip) - 3 sets, 3pies+25x4 last set
rev grip pulldowns - 3 sets, 220x4 on last
pullovers - 90x8, 100x6

was disappointed in myself on the rows, wanted more weight or reps. the rest of the session went well, was soaked at the end. good pump and made sure i got a stretch on the back movements, it feels like i am losing some flexability. legs tomorrow....brings a smile to my face

thank you Roland, i guess that sometimes we set the bar high, but thats what makes us what we are, always striving to go that extra distance to set new standards in lifting and life.

[Big Wides]

very nice extra wides...always giving 100%..damn proud of you..

thanks, always putting the best foot forward. i feel the need to go 100% with each session, not only to grow but its the way my work ethic is....

[Lowdown5]

Work ethic is solid with you Bro, no fear of that changing.

[eblnyc]

Work ethic is solid with you Bro, no fear of that changing. word to that...

[Big Wides]

legs last night:

Leg Extensions: 5 sets x 12 reps
Superset: Kneeling Unilateral Leg Curls w/ Seated Leg Curls (Hamtractor); 10 sets total nonstop back and forth x 12-6 reps
Leg Press: 6 sets x 15-10 reps, 14 plates x 10 reps on last set
Hack Squat: 3 sets x 10-8 reps, 4 plates per side x 8 reps on last set
Smith Machine Calf Raise: 7 sets x 12-10 reps

its fun leg pressing with no hamstrings. weight felt heavy at first but the body adapted to the stress. it was a nice way to end the session with the hacks. liking the pre-exhaustion work before the compound movements.

[IRBS]

Nice session bro!

[MassMonster]

damn nice pressin bro... skimmed through ya log and i gotta say im damn impressed bro seek and destroy indeed...

[Big Wides]

Nice session bro!

thanks IRBS, want the legs to grow, tired of being the same pants size since i was 14

damn nice pressin bro... skimmed through ya log and i gotta say im damn impressed bro seek and destroy indeed...

i will keep to that montra of seek and destroy, my training has gone to a completely different level. running at full force with high octane fuel

[MassMonster]

only way to be bro be proud that u actually live up to that... because sum talk the the talk but stumble on the walk...

[Riesjs]

thanks, always putting the best foot forward. i feel the need to go 100% with each session, not only to grow but its the way my work ethic is....

db flies - 60x10, 70x8, 80x6

wanted to do singles on flat bench, they were all taken....went into incline and it felt natural. the decline however not so natural. it was a good simple session.

[Big Wides]

Damn straight, hit that on the head

thank you my brother, we all train the same way 100% thats what makes us a breed apart

[Lowdown5]

Good day Bro, and declines take getting used too.

[eblnyc]

nice chest day dbl extra wides..were you in nyc today?there was a woman passed out on the sidewalk at 19th and 6th near my gym...lol

[Big Wides]

Good day Bro, and declines take getting used too.

thanks LD, declines are not a real staple in my routine so the timing of the press was off more than anything. i did feel it where i needed to, so it wasn't a lost cause

[Big Wides]

nice chest day dbl extra wides..were you in nyc today?there was a woman passed out on the sidewalk at 19th and 6th near my gym...lol

lol, sad to say i was not in nyc. there must be a double of me somewhere...lol

[Lowdown5]

You never let stuff be a lost cause, you always grow from it. Inspiring Bro.

[eblnyc]

lol, sad to say i was not in nyc. there must be a double of me somewhere...lol i don't think so my friend you are one of a kind...

[Big Wides]

You never let stuff be a lost cause, you always grow from it. Inspiring Bro.

LD, thank you. we as mankind are always learning and adapting. i find that if something is not feeling right take a step back, and pick what does not feel right about it. and instead of attacking it with blind rage, be smart and go at it with full intent that it will be done right. whether it be in the gym or in life the same applies reassess situations and be smart with your next move

i don't think so my friend you are one of a kind...

why thank you...we are all one of a kind in our own respects and we are all part of one family that sticks together no matter what....indivduals united for one cause

[Lowdown5]

You are a very wise man my Brother.

[Roland]

Simple but to the point, good stuff bro.

[Big Wides]

Simple but to the point, good stuff bro.

found that keeping it simple sparks soild growth. to get bigger heavy compound movements are key.

[Riesjs]

I do agree, declines can feel awkward, rarely use 'em, mostly for variety sake so i dont get too much in a rut

[Roland]

found that keeping it simple sparks soild growth. to get bigger heavy compound movements are key.

[Toni69]

Excellent session Big Wides!

[Big Wides]

Great session brother.

thanks Roland, i am trying to get stronger with each session. i listen to what my body is telling me and if it feels that i can go heavy i do, and if i cant then i do light weight. i treat training like a see saw, i do only what i can accomplish and if i get level then its time to switch it up

Excellent session Big Wides!

thanks Toni, i am currently trying to get all of my compound lifts at or above 315. i have already accomplished that with the Big 3, now its time to get the rows and shoulder exercises there. its going to be a difficult road but i am up to the challange....

NPC Chicka is gonna have me doing a strictly powerlifting/olympic lifting split soon. Im a bit nervous about it.

every time i come on this log i get mpressed more and more... awesome day bro..

thanks Mass...your log does the same for me as well, thats the best part of this place...we are all different in our goals (competition, building, PLing) but at the same time we all have the same...to support each other, gain strength from each other, and become bigger together

NPC Chicka is gonna have me doing a strictly powerlifting/olympic lifting split soon. Im a bit nervous about it. I know I can handle it, however not having a proper partner or trainer here to visually correct my mistakes and form and watch me makes me a bit insecure. I may be running to you for advice so I dont always have to bombard her with too many questions...if thats ok.

by all means Toni, don't be afraid to ask away....your going to like the olympic lifts they spark growth in a completely different way than conventional lifting....your improvements in the deads will def help with the cleans from the floor with explosive power of moving dead weight

Delts and Guns with G, 9/8/07, 6:10pm...

Standing Barbell Military/Push Press: 5 sets, 225 x 5 on heaviest set
Upright Rows (Power): 3x10 @ 135
Behind The Back Cable Side Raises: 3 sets x 12-10 reps
Seated Side DB Raises: 3 sets x 12-8 reps
Seated HS Shrugs: 3 sets x 12-5 reps
Reverse Pec Deck Rear Delt Flyes: 4 sets x 20-10 reps
DB Shrugs: 3 sets x 12 reps

Rope Pushdowns: 4 sets x 20-10 reps
Overhead Cable Extensions: 4 sets x 15-10 reps
Dip Machine: 4 sets x 15-10 reps
Superset: Preacher Machine Curl w/ Incline Iso Machine Curl, 3 sets each x 12-8 reps
Alternating DB Curls: 3 sets x 8-6 reps
Behind the Back Barbell Wrist Curls: 7 sets x 15-10 reps

i put it as standing military/push press due to the fact as the weight increased, it became more of a push press for me. the power upright rows felt damn good (almost like a clean pull). interesting note about the arm part, from the dip machine down in the above, that was completed in about 25 minutes since the gym was closing....

[IRBS]

Awesome session BW. Keep killin it bro.

Great session bro. Really strong on those pushpresses........I'm loving the routine you gave me too. Its fucking sick. The box squats felt awesome on friday

[IRBS]

thanks bro, gotta keep killing it with each session, need to keep up with cats like yourself

LOL...not me bro! Reading your log is motivation for me bro! Its like when your training partner hits a PR higher than yours, just pushes you to hit a lift higher than that...always on the move!!!

[Big Wides]

Great session bro. Really strong on those pushpresses........I'm loving the routine you gave me too. Its fucking sick. The box squats felt awesome on friday

thanks Jim....glad to see the routine is working out well for you. if you have any questions about it just ask....i feel that it is important to share knowledge that we have about lifting,dieting,life with each other....not only does it make us better competitors but people as well....

LOL...not me bro! Reading your log is motivation for me bro! Its like when your training partner hits a PR higher than yours, just pushes you to hit a lift higher than that...always on the move!!!

always on the move is the right way to look at this, and it goes both ways IRBS.....also to support an ever growing eating habit....

I like your training here wides. real strong stuff cuzz. where do you train at?

i train at an LA Fitness....not ideal but no matter where you workout at its all about what you make of the place. Like G and Juggernaut say "You can turn any machine into a Midevil torture device"

Big session...like the arms and sh combo? my new routine i will be startin in a few weeks is still under construction, just looking for ideas.

i would reccommend it, you get one hell of a pump in your arms. ive always trained shoulders and arms seperate, but i think im hooked on doing them together

Good Lord BW, that workout was insane!

that it was, running around like madmen towards the end, with people wondering what the hell was going on....the quickest arm set ive ever done

Awesome fucking workout bro!!

thanks bro....training hard makes the muscles grow

[Big Wides]

well i had got to thinking today about a lot of shit, somethings that can be controlled and others that can't. and as i was thinking i reminsied about how far i have matured not only as a lifter but as a person as well, what a difference a year makes. then it hit me, we as people are much like the civiliations that we live in, we are constantly tearing down and rebuilding for the better. musclewise we are tearing down each fiber and rebuilding the same fiber that was destroyed to form a better "city". mentally we are overcoming barriers whether we know it or not, throwing up a weight that we never thought possible, conquering any inner deamons that we fight on a daily basis, showing others that no matter what they say it will not break our spirt, our drive for we are better than that. through our constant breakdown and rebuilding that we go through daily, when we think we are at our weakest, we could not be further from the truth. for at that moment when we might feel weak, we are infact stronger than ever before. this "civilation" that is our mind and body becomes one strong presance in the universe. nothing can stop us or get in our way. i remember a quote that someone told me one day, recently i had forgotten the quote but found it written in one of my old logbooks. "Try not to live your life in "what ifs" for if you do, then your today's will turn into "never happeneds" or something of that nature.

Lowdown and Roland....thank you for support and the words of encouragement. LD what you said above made my day and one day we will meet up and train, share philosohies (sp) and other things.

i gather my fuel, motovation, and drive from everyone here at the forvm and at home. it is amazing what a soild support staff can do not only for your training but how one approaches life and since training is a part of many of our lives it fuels the passion. i remember saying in one of my old posts about stak2 or something of that nature. the quote was "someone who is taking stak2 under 18 is like adding gasoline to a raging fire, it will only get out of control and someone/thing will end up getting hurt." however this is not the case with the support that we gather from everyone here on the forvm, whether in the indivdual journey's, training/diet/supp advice, or sharing life stories.... we all can relate in some form or another on a personal level. that is what makes this place unique, we are all different in our own right, but at the same time we are the same.....

brothers and sisters lets keep training hard, pushing the enevlope with each session, listening to what our bodies have to say, and knowing that when the dust settles we all will shine brighter than we ever did before....

[AnthonyB]

that was an awesome post wides. I don't have that much support outside of this place here. once agian, awesome post cuzz

thanks IRBS, did not think i could have handled it since we havent pulled in a couple of weeks but when deciding on the next set weight followed the montra and "threw another pie on there". at that point i was pumped and Juggernaut grabbed the 2.5....

i forgot to ask but how did u work up to the 500?

for the session i just jumped from 405 to 500. but it takes a while to get the form down that works for your body type and practice. there were quite a few bumps in the road. practice and give it time, you'll get there

You should have scene this F^&**! I was kidding around saying "what comes after 405? One more Pie on each side" then G says, "but you have to put the 2.5lbs on" There you have it... Wides rips it off the floor. 500 LBS!

chest today:

incline - barx15, 135x12, 225x10, 255x8, 275x4, 315x2, 255x6
flat bench (middle finger on rings) - 135x20, 225x12, 315x5
flies - 3x10

no idea why i decided to throw in the flat bench after incline, went in there with the idea of just doing incline and flies. yeah, the best laid plans of mice and men...ended up on the flat bench, and to make things interesting decided to go wide. im not complaining by any means, i believe that doing flat bench later on in the session shows the true strength of the muscle when it is fatigued.

thanks Toni, the flat bench was tough as anything, but true grit and strength in the gym is measured when you can either eat the bar or the bar eats you. also reading through your log has put some fire into my training btw

[Big Wides]

sometimes we feel the need to look deep within ourselves and the world around us and take it in for all its beauty. sometimes we sit and ponder about the cards that are delt to us and what we should or need to do with the hand that was delt. we could easily fold the hand and walk away from the table, we could exchange those cards that we feel unnecessary and hope for new ones...or we can make the best out the hand delt. no matter what we decide to do with the hand, in the end we all come out for the better. we could bluff our way through the bad hands, change our hand letting the house do with us as we will, i say that we stand up with what was delt. those people who do not want the best for us want us to come as they want us to be, not as we are. we are different from the general public we are dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach and always striving for more. hunger is what fuels us, we are not a trend and we are not want they want us to be. it is different for many but not the few who go in and find it hard to walk after a session, when we sit on a sunday recovering from a session that we had on a wed.

We do not come as they want us to be, we come as we are, dowsed in the mud that one day will show a greater being, a better person, a greater asset to mankind. we are visonaries, looked down upon, but you know what who gives a fuck, people like Washington, Jefferson, Ghandi, Patton, and Dali were looked down upon with the same light, and now they are admired for their brillance for what they stood for. I say we run the table with the hand(s) that have been delt to us and stand tall. we will not bluff our way to the top but work like mules to get there. for if we come as we were or what they want us to be, then can we truly come as we are or as WE want ourselves to be? it is a long and winding road that leads to an open door filled with endless possibilites, and this road is filled with all people with the same goal....

As I write this I am reminded of Dante's Inferno, were I think it is in Canto 3, the first lines are "Through me the way into the suffering city, through me the way to eternal pain, through me the way way that runs amoung the lost, justice urged on my high artificer, my maker was divine authority, the highest wisdom and the primal love, befre me nothing but eternal things were made and i endure eternally.... Abandon Every Hope Who Enter Here"

That was one solid session right there and the 7 plate rows but more hair on both our chests I think. Next time you have to try putting the 10lb plate down your pants for weighted pull ups and the next set with the 35lb dumbell held onto by your feet, it's a rush....

great workout bro....think i gotta throw some Tbars in next week...

[G Diesel]

G does 6 plates for 6 reps and thinks "That was a fucker... Heavy, but a perfect set of 6 with good form. On to the next exercise."

Wides and Juggernaut get done with 6 and say, "We did multiple reps on 6 plates. From this premise, logic dictates that we could go heavier and still get at least one. As such, throw another pie on there. It isn't heavy enough."

That is how I can best differentiate between the mindsets of the bodybuilder (even if he is a power bodybuilder) and the guys with the powerlifter mentality. Nothing illustrates the "go heavier until we can't get one" approach better than these two lunatics last night on the T-Bar. It is both disconcerting and motivating to know that as heavy as I train week in and week out, I'll never suggest something that they'll back down from or punk out on and just as often, they'll challenge me. Peace, G

SWEET WO BIG W...as always!

Hey..you goin to the Arnold?

thanks Toni, def going to do weighted pullups in the future, figure might spark some new growth back there. Work permitting I will be attending the Arnold this year.

great workout bro....think i gotta throw some Tbars in next week...

thanks Jim, i like the fact that you can get a good lat strectch out of the movement from the middle of the back outwards....

G does 6 plates for 6 reps and thinks "That was a fucker... Heavy, but a perfect set of 6 with good form. On to the next exercise."

Wides and Juggernaut get done with 6 and say, "We did multiple reps on 6 plates. From this premise, logic dictates that we could go heavier and still get at least one. As such, throw another pie on there. It isn't heavy enough."

That is how I can best differentiate between the mindsets of the bodybuilder (even if he is a power bodybuilder) and the guys with the powerlifter mentality. Nothing illustrates the "go heavier until we can't get one" approach better than these two lunatics last night on the T-Bar. It is both disconcerting and motivating to know that as heavy as I train week in and week out, I'll never suggest something that they'll back down from or punk out on and just as often, they'll challenge me. Peace, G

Wides, Juggernaut and logic all in one sentence....wow. that is the best part of the training when one is doing an exercise the support from the other two is there and helps get through the heavy weights. keep the interesting challanges coming, they are fun and exciting at the same time.....challanege each other to get bigger and stronger

Great posts, the best part is finding clothing from our "smaller days" that don't fit anymore... F that, I'm buying baggy shit for now on cause Wides, G and myself are going to be spending too much on replacement ou
