of course they do- which is why I own 3.
One to wear- one to wash and one extra just in case my bro friends leave one at home!!! Of course being that prepared makes me extra dou*chy but at least people know!

I'm currently off with an injury (partially torn quad tendon) which is keeping me out of the gym. My bench is, relatively speaking, my strongest lift. With good form, I've been able to press:
315x1
300x3
275x6
225x12
I haven't tested my max in about 2 months now, so I'm guessing that if I had not injured myself, I'd be pressing about 330x1
Pressing movements come naturally to me, due in part to short arms.
I'm 5'7", 204lbs
Also, first post, so hello everyone, lol!

Sometimes I am not sure if it is the almost reckless eating I can indulge in, or lifting itself, I enjoy more.JeffseekingV wrote: »
Just work getting in the way of eating normally, now I've got an hour on the trainer scheduled for now. Meh.
The food ramp is always loaded, and the volume up to 11 on the food amp because 10 isn't usually enough.0 -

lol, I know I know, but I dont record my lifts, and I'm not likely to for at least 2 more months, as I'm off with an injury. Can't really bench properly if I can't bend my right knee, and use that all important leg drive!
I really have no reason to inflate my lifts, but I understand where you're coming from. If it helps, my deadlift is pathetically weak in comparison, sitting at a paltry 385-390 1rm. I injured my lower back a few years ago, so I have a tough time doing that movement, even sumo.

Haha, thanks! My bench press is basically my only noteworthy lift, I think. I have no clue what my max squat is, but it's sub 400. I have done 315 for 5 fairly easy reps, but do not think I could crush a 4 plate squat yet.

Yeah the first one was for Planet Fitness LOL.0 -
I love the "burn" commercial from PF.
Well, no workout today. Delts and obliques are toast. Feeling just like a warmed over corpse. Guess I'll just hit up a bike session later tonight.0 -
I'm with you db though I really should get on some HIIT this evening..should...could...will.0
-
My will was there, but ended up opting for rest. After 2gr of Aleve I'm functional. lol. This was my first big upper body workout since a two week layoff due to illness. I'm surprised the DOMS are so frickin' bad.
Cautionary tale: Don't take two weeks off.0 -

Taking two weeks off is akin to taking three scoops of pre-workout. Not advised. One week off or two scoops is the limit. Anything higher is no man's land.0 -
I've found 10 days is about all I can do. I'm pleasantly sore after the first workout- but not completely immobile the following two days... and I haven't lost so much strength I have to "start over".. I just have to struggle through weights I was fine with previously.0

I always gain strength after time off. That being said One week would be tops for me too.0

Sounds like a rebound effect due to the rest period.0 -

2 weeks off is a worse feeling than working out on a deficit..which I am..and it sucks..I need man-diapers0

If I take more than a week off I start back with a deload just to get my body ready for real work. It seems to work for me and get me focused for the next week since it seems to be more a mater of getting my head back into the routine rather than my body.0 -
I too am training on a deficit, When I drop down to 190lbs (3 more to lose) I will start maintenance and see how much That changes the game.TFaustino67 wrote: »2 weeks off is a worse feeling than working out on a deficit..which I am..and it sucks..I need man-diapers0 -
I've been working maintenance for a while, it's time to get back to dropping... I have a feeling my time spent napping is going to increase significantly.
Lol. The things we do, eh?0 -
