Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 7 | Hey GDD, yeah, for me declines have always been the easiest of the presses for me to do. Believe it or not, the biggest problem for me with declines is getting the bar off the rack. Because of the angle, I can't even pull 135 off of the uprights...I need a lift off for every lift on the decline. I could probably go heavier...but it's not a lift I usually go heavy on. And unlike your workouts...I take a longer break between my sets to stretch and recover...how you go as fast as you do amazes me!

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 7 | Hey Ya’ll, well it’s been a long two days. We left out Tuesday at 6:00 p.m., drove until 4:00 a.m., rested for 2 hours, then continued on, not getting back to the firebase until nearly 3:30 a.m. on Thursday. I went to bed at 5:00 a.m., got woke up at 9:30 for a phone call from my boss, and didn’t get back to bed until 12:30. Slept again until 3:30…then hit the gym. So today’s workout wasn’t really that stellar. Anyhows here’s what I did: DB Mil Press: 30 x 12 (Arnold’s), 50 x 10 (reg press), 70 x 10, 80 x 8, 80 x 6 Front Raises: 20 x 10, 30 x 10, 40 x 10 for 3 sets Side Laterals: 20 x 10 for 5 sets Lying Side Laterals: 20 x 10 for 5 sets That was it for me today. My body’s still trying to recover from the last two days without sleep. And for my nurse….I got my hand X-rayed today. Nothing broken in there…it was just a bad sprain. So I’ll just have to suck it up for awhile until it fully heals. My medic suggested I lay off the heavy weights….but that’s just so he can pass me up

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 27 | Hey buddy, Looks like you've been staying out of trouble, NOT! How's the hand today? Don't let those kids beat your PR's. You gotta keep them on their toes. Sorry I haven't been in more often. The FIFA world cup is keeping me glued to the TV. Are guys watching it over there? You must have some soccer fans on the base. Keep up the good work and the heavy workouts! Cheers ![]() |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 7 | Hey ya'll, I was finally able to get in my back workout this week, although not as stellar of a performance as I would have hoped, I was still pleased with the deadlift as I've laid off of it for awhile now. Here's how it went: Bent over BB rows: 95 x 15, 135 x 12, 185 x 10, 225 x 6, 185 x 10 Shrugs: 225 x 10, 315 x 10, 345 x 8, 365 x 9, 405 x 5 Deadlift: 135 x 8, 225 x 8, 315 x 6, 405 x 2 (then I tried 495 and failed...then again it was my previous max...what was I thinking?), and finally 405 x 1 Seated Row: 200 x 10, 290 x 10 for two sets, 290 x 8 for the last two sets I pulled 405 off the floor with ease on the fourth set of deadlifts, repped twice and felt pretty good. In hindsight, I should have kept repping that weight instead of shooting for my previous max. Ego's gonna get the best of me yet. After moving from 495 back to 405, I again pulled it smoothly off the floor and walked the bar back into the weight rack. Hope everyone has a great weekend....remember to tell your Dad Happy Father's Day.

Glad to hear that it's nothing more serious than a sprain. I'd suggest following the medic's advice but I know better... ![]() | |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 7 | Hey everyone, we got back in late yesterday evening after a very successful trip out of the wire. Some knuckleheads decided to shoot at us from a compound while we had a B-1 Bomber flying overhead...very costly mistake. Anyhows, no one's hurt on our end and we ended up taking out some bad guys. We'll be hitting the gym in about an hour for some squats. I'll post up the results afterwards.
