new maxes!

I recently found out the power carb loading will give you. I've been devouring good carbs and the strength gains are incredible. I can't believe I just found this out also.
I was doing decline bench at my house and got 245 up for 2 reps. I know thats not a lot for you short guys but cut me some slack. Thats 25 lbs more than my current body weight.
The other day I was doing squats in the gym too. I've always been scared to max out on squats because of my lack of experience. All my prior reps had flawless form and I worked my way up to 325 for 8 reps so I figured what the hey, I got the energy right now. I did 365 for 3 reps.
Squats get a little scary when you see the bar flexing under the weight. But it's so cool!
I can't wait to squat 400.
 
damn P79, great work!!!

:)
 
That's great. 245 for 2 reps is alot. I never really could do squats right.
...Seems like sooner or later this whole board will be people from Louisiana.
 
I love it abear. I hated that freezing weather.

Where in BR do you live Complex? I workout at the Y on perkins (southside). I live off of highland.
 
I actually like the winter much more than summer, although we never really get much of a winter here. I live off of Millerville. I use to workout at Spectrum in Denham Springs and the one off of Monterrey.
 
yeah up here in columbus we could really use a louisiana winter...unless you like high winds, sleet, and lots of ice, columbus pretty much sucks this time of year.

by the way, panman, i plan to buy your metabolism, then, in a couple of years, when the ketogenic diet trend creates a nation of people with snail slow metabolisms, ill be able to sell it for at least twice what i bought it for. supply and demand. and im not even an economics major.
 
it was crazy for christmas day we got snow and south texas got a ton of it but north of I-10 they got none or just a little. LOL
 
yeah, i was down in houston visiting my parents for the holidays...we didnt get any snow in that neck of the woods, but man, all of those crazy texans sure were making a big deal about the thermometer getting below 40 :p . My girlfriend was visitng her family in cleveland...man, she said they got hit hard.

then when i got back to columbus...man, there is absolutely nothing i can say in the defense ohio weather this time of year.
 
Panman,
Great work bro!!!

Southerners-
I don't want to hear about your winter weather down there in LA. I planned a trip to Orlando for Christmas for a break from the cold temps, but when I arrived it was in the 30s and stayed in the 40s for most of the trip - WTF??!! I think I actually saw flurries the day after Christmas. I did experience a 70 degree day right before I had to leave.

Last week we get a winter storm and today its raining with predicted 50+ temps. Gotta love it! :confused:

No problem! Weather was bad but I wouldn't say it sucked. I was away from work and the everyday grind of life. Got to read a couple books for entertainment instead of school or work. It all worked out in the end.
 
That's cool. Seems like you'll be hitting 400 in no time. Maybe you should start training me. Maybe then I could get out of the rut of benching in the double digits.
