Still dunking, or just getting stronger?! I just posted some new vids (9'3" and 9'9") Funny, I can still get my head about at 9' when dunking on a low rim. Pushing 35 yrs, so I consider getting fancy or dunking with authority on any rim nicely over 9' is decent jumping. I gotta get up 32" just to dunk on 9' good. Nice lifts man. I still hit the weights but not that heavy.
Yeah, I am not that close right now...I might have 330 lbs x 9 on a good day (maybe even 10), but my repping always WAY outpaces my maxes. I would probably have to hit 335 lbs x 10, or even 340 lbs x 10 before I could hit 430 lbs for a single. We'll see I guess...
@BRETZERR fair enough, its going no where at the moment, ive been very busy with work and my girlfriend so training has been put on the back foot, havent been eating well maybe 2000 cals per day so ive also droped down to 215lbs and of course am not supplementing with any assistance etc.. so in short im at my weakest for about a year as far as benching goes.. however i start bulking back up on the 16th of auguest in prep for a strongman comp, so itl come back quick!
@saborn11 Heh, I have those feeling too at first... but within a couple of workouts I'm usually back to where I was, and often I'm hitting new PR's. I look at it like this... even if you lost some muscle, your nervous system and ligaments still have the capability in them, so it just takes a short time for the muscle to catch up once again.
Thanks Robert. I appreciate the comments. I just watched your bench vid's...nice to see you posted some flat bench. Congrat's on the 360 lb flat and close-grip maxes. Looked very good. Can't wait to see you get 380 lbs! Keep training hard.
dude you should do beast body building challenge that he just put up

Thanks Josh...hopefully more to come.
