OP what day did you start this challenge? You started this thread on 09/09/2013 if you started on the day you started the thread then you are only 15 days and not 16 days.

My bad, I'll fix that, for some reason I had the 8th in my head

[rzerob]

So I know there might be some people wondering how my numbers are so consistent. 3 sets of 10 all the time. Well my secret is called punishment sets. My goal is 30 reps total. Say I get 10, 8, and 8 which happens some times. I do another set of however many I can do to make up for the last 4 reps. Usually my punishment set is about the same as my other sets. So what I am actually doing is 10, 8, 8, and 8 but only counting 30 because my last set was a punishment.

I workout with a buddy pretty consistently, I might introduce this to him. he is 6'5" 212 pounds and wants to gain weight.

I am 6'3" 208 and want to slim down and gain muscle in the right areas.

Seems awesome. Keep up the good work!

Chest and Back yesterday; got a phone call with a job interview for me on Friday for an EMT position at a local agency half way through the workout. I got super pumped and was able to hit the weight like a beast afterward. Very satisfied with my building so far. Lost 10 pounds since starting and feel incredible, even better than I did when I was 18 in wrestling.

@ 6'3 208 I would not slim down unless you have absolute no muscle and are like 30% BF but even though I would just lift heavy and recomp. If you start lifting proper you will gain muscle in the "right areas" lol.


210-230 is a good weight for 6'3

been a long time since I posted in the powerlifting thread.... gained 15lbs lol... I am now at 146lbs and setting a bunch of PRs...hope to keep going until 155lbs BW then cut to 145. slightly unrelated but trying to break the 1k club hopefully within the next 6 months.

I mainly want to slim up my core and chest and then gain muscle in those areas.

Don't forget to post your numbers if you start, and if you do welcome to the OP's crew. If you want to slim your core, most important thing you can do is your diet/BMR.

15lbs is good gains, keep it up. Wow 1k club is no joke, if you are 146lbs or even 155lbs and make 1k club that is some serious bragging rights. Bench press, squat and dead lift heaviest one rep totaling 1000lbs. If you bench 300lbs, squat 300lbs, and dead lift 400lbs I think is the easiest route. Good luck.
