335 LBS achieved....
Hit a new personal best today on the Bench Press hitting 335 LBS. I thought my spotter touched the bar so I did the lift again. You can hear me say "I got it" on the 2nd lift to assure my spotter so that he didn't touch the bar lol. These personal bests are always a little sloppy on form but I got the job done. I was so happy to crack this weight that I was Giddy & smiley as if I was a child getting a new toy. Just like the 315 LBS threshold, I will soon be repping this weight like a boss.. But today was a big nerd moment for me lol..

So after hitting a new personal best of 335 LBS, I was really out of steam strength wise but wanted to keep it going so I started to do drop sets yet still kept the heavy weights at first. After finding a new spotter I dropped from 335 , to 315 for 4 reps, then 275 for 8 reps, then 225 for 15 reps, then 135 for 30 reps.(these 30 reps killed me)...
Today' Workout:
Flat Bench, Incline Bench, Decline Bench, Flat Press, Incline Press & Dips. (6 movements)
6 movements was probably 2 too many today but I was so happy to have hit a new personal best that after my giddiness wore off I became mean, strong & energetic so I went with it.. I was in the gym for 1 hour 17 minutes...

Do you do more sets with less weight or less sets with more weight?

More sets with more weight
I have a very very very very very very very very very very annoying problem.
The problem is called a Pilonidal Cyst. This cyst formed right at the top of my butt crack. Sounds all haha funny but it's the worst thing I have ever experienced.
I found out I had one two years ago November. I went to my doctor and they referred me to a general surgeon. He confirms it's the Pilonidal Cyst and we schedule a surgery(remember this was two years ago, not now). I get the surgery. What they did is took out the cyst and a little of the tissue around it then stitched me up. Well it gone infected, as most do because of the location. So I go to the doctor and they num it up and cut it open, I still felt it though....
The next month was literally hell. Imagine not being able to take a dump without worrying about bleeding and ripping the wound wide open again. Imagine having to clean your wound with peroxide and seeing a massive second butt hole. Imagine not being about to sit down.
To this day I have pain. I can't sit in a normal position, it feels like someone is sticking a sword in my tailbone. This past Monday, I could have swore I thought the cyst was back from all the pain I was having. So I went to the doctor. He inspected the area and said the wound looked great and didn't see anything wrong in the area. He told me when they do this surgery they take the fat around the area, that may be causing me the pain because they basically took away my cushion.
The fact that I'm probably gonna have to live with this pain for the rest of my life really pissed me off. I'm not even 20 years old and this pain can bring me to tears if it gets bad enough.
I've been very very angry(pain = anger)
Tuesday, The morning before I went to the doctor I also hit a new personal best on the deadlift. 315x10. Anger was fueling that one, Pure anger.
I needed a few day out of the gym. All this built up anger is gonna make for one hell of a workout Monday.

wow sorry to her that brotha. hope this gets resolved soon!
My brother and I both had these. I caught it early and had to looked at. It swells every so often so I have to drain it. Luckily, no real pain.
My brother is on his 3rd surgery for it.
Work-out gloves experiment officially over:
With just a week or more of using them, I can tell that using gloves even once in a while weakens my overall grip. Yet when I used no gloves my hands would either get tore up or there was pain from my flesh being torn off at higher weights but my Grip was solid. Based on that, I have decided to throw the gloves away, deal with the pain & move on. I will try to wipe the blood from the bars if I bleed on them. In a pinch, maybe I will try and use chalk but the bottom line is no more gloves for me...
I plan on doing exercises specifically to build grip strength including dead holds, bell holds & dead hangs...

Gloves just stink. Nothing wrong with using chalk.
I still destroy my hands with chalk on. I'll try to upload a video later of my hands after a heavy dead session I did a lil while ago.
