Bro found his exact PR (275lb) with a good spot.
Wow. He’s just built different. I am way more muscular than that and I can’t put up 275 pounds.
I don’t really flat bench anymore as it’s hard on the wrists, but when I stopped I could do 200 pounds. I’m bigger and stronger overall now, so I think if I trained for a few weeks I could do 225. In the Army I did 250 a few times.
Crazy.
Today, I maxed out another exercise on the adjustable dumbbells we have.
I consider an exercise to be “maxed out” when I can do three sets of 12 at the maximum 52.5 pound weight on the dumbbell. And today I did that for bench dumbbell triceps extensions.
I went a little too hard on my eugenics yesterday in the heat and was sick for a bit after.
Still did 33 pull-ups in only three sets.
Body weight lunges are some pretty tough eugenics.
But today (Monday) is rest day. Even I take those once in a while.
Did my eugenics for the day and now my arms are tired.
225 push-ups across three sets will do that to you.
I love that I got fit enough that some people assume I must be using steroids.
Nope. Just lifting, lifting, lifting. (And no, I don’t use anything that even metabolizes to steroids except, like, food. No HRT or anything else.)
Yesterday, I did 225 push-ups across three sets. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Today’s eugenics have been completed. It was abs and leg day.
I just did my near-daily eugenics.
Specifically, I eugenicsed the fuck out of my arms, shoulders and chest. So that’s done for the day.
Strength of a manual worker vs bodybuilders.
Sure, but who cares? The goal of a bodybuilder is not to be the strongest possible at everything, but to have their body appear a certain way.
Practical strength usually beats out gym-built strength, but having been comparatively weak and now strong, I’d still do better on any tasks that require strength than 99.9% of mooks off the street.
Just as those bodybuilders would. Being strong makes your entire life better, no matter what clowns like Ian Welsh claim.
No eugenics today; it is rest day.
Normal eugenics activities will resume tomorrow.
My arms are quite tired from all the eugenics I did earlier.
Just did some more eugenics (a nice solid workout).
I did 210 pushups total across three sets in today’s “impossible” celebrity workout.
Still getting stronger and better. Love it.
I wish I could get celebrity pay for these “impossible” celebrity workouts I keep doing.
At least I get really good muscles out of them.
