Gotta Lift Big To Get Big

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are generally our "upper body" days. On those days we work out chest and biceps out. I put upper body in quotations because on our "leg" day we also do shoulders and our back so its technically not our entire upper body. So anyways to get on to our workout. On "upper body" days we start out with flat bench and do a warm up of 10 reps at 135 lbs we then jump to 225 and do a set of 5, next is 255x5, then last we do 275x5. We then move straight to incline bench press and do the same sets just less weight. Directly after we jump right over to the barbell military press and we do 2 sets of 10. By then our chest and triceps are usually feeling really good! By really good I mean they are killing us haha. We push on and go over to the chest ISO machines. We do 2 sets each on the incline ISO, the decline ISO and the wide grip ISO. Our chest is killing by then and feels like if we do another set it might just explode! We feel like our t...

This is me benching 345 lbs this summer. My new goal is to get to 400 lbs by next summer so that I can compete in the Summer Games Powerlifting Competion. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress towards my goal.

Here’s a little bit about the supplements I am currently taking. For our pre-workout we have just about tried everything on the market. Basically if they make it we have tried it. We are currently on a pre-workout called Blitz from Complete Nutrition it is supposed to be a concentrated pre-workout drink. My dad really likes this one so we came back to it after trying the new N.O.Xplode 2.0. It is a decent supplement and we feel pretty good pumps with this, it also helps us focus and stay awake (which is nice since we work out at 5 in the morning haha). As for our post workout we take Whey Protein from Muscle Milk. We both really like this supplement, it seems to help cut back on the soreness we feel after working out. We find that the Muscle Milk taste pretty good and it mixes easy so it’s not all chalky. I am also taking Creatine Monohydrate, I recently started back up on this so I haven’t really seen much difference yet. I just finished a cycle with Methyl 1-D and I felt no real diff...

Hey what’s up everyone?! Thanks for visiting my blog! I created this blog to follow me and my Dad’s workouts, and track our progess to becoming beasts in the weight room. My dad on the far left with all the winners at the Utah Summer Games Powerlifting Competition Me and my Dad started working out about 2 years ago. We started because we both wanted to get into better shape and to gain some strength. We started out with no real goal in mind other than to just trim up. We did that for about 6 months and saw a little bit of weight loss and fat loss. At the beginning of this year my dad got the idea to compete in the Utah Summer Games powerlifting competition. The events included bench, squat, and deadlift. So in January we got serious about lifting heavy weight and quit worrying so much about being cut. We saw some huge gains in our lifts once we got serious and started lifting heavy weights. For the first time ever my bench got over the 3 plate mark. I played football in high school ...
