Dumbell Bench Press 172 x 1 (PR), Close Grip Bench 355 x 4, Tricep Extension 172 x 7

Pretty pleased with this workout.I think i will have a good chance of getting 180's soon! If I didn't have a balance problem i think i would've had a better chance at 2 reps or a much easier 1 rep.I also almost fell off the bench when i went down lol

Monster lifts as always Mark. I see your deadlift is going well for you. Looks like 500 will be the number before long. Stay strong and keep the videos coming.

@powerm64 Thanks brother!Yeah just giving the deadlifts a go after a very long time away.Hopefully i can make some progress....we'll see!

Awesome job on the 172's Mark...you beat me by a lb! Ha, ha...although, you can do more for sure.  Can't wait to see those 180's go.

All the best in 2011 Mark.

@BRETZERR Actually the dumbells were suppose to be 170 but when i weighed them they came out to 172.Hopefully i'll put the 180's up,you nver know when u get up to these weights,they get hard to handle.

Best to you also Randy! Are we going to see you 2011? What's your plans for lifting? Are u just recharging for another run or are you done with the heavy stuff?

Thanks Randy,hope to see you soon!

@ffanatic87 Thanks Jake! Yeah balance is always an issue with dumbells.I still feel like i have another 10-15 lbs in me.200 lb'ers should be doable at some point in the future.

@HHH396

I hope to be back in a few months or so. Right now I am training in track with my oldest daughter trying to get her ready for a few meets coming in Jan, Feb, and Mar. So, I haven't been hitting the weights much at all, which has killed my bench completely. I haven't squated or deadlifted in a month. I feel incredibly weak at the moment...ha, ha...but such is life when you do other things besides lift heavy. I'll be back though...the base has been built.

@HHH396 i know that, but im just saying to pablo that if hes goping by strength to strength and assuming it takes equal strength, you need 400 pounds that way not 400 pounds with ur explosive form that uget a lot of advantage of over controlled.

besides some people db bench more than they flat!!!!!!!!! at my weakest i was doing 120sx.05 a week before i did 210x3 barbell....that was after doing a personal best of 240x6 months before

@rctriplefresh5 200 lb are even harder than a bar would be.If someone can press 200's they are proably capable of 440-450 out of the bottom with a bar.I had 344 lbs out of the bottom with the dumbells and i suspect i capable of 360 lbs with the dumbells(180 lb dumbells) but those weights on a bar would be easy.
