Getting bigger cajonas

[dsp]

age: 18
weight: ~210 (i don't check often, chubby)
height: 5'10

Did SS prior to this from about January to now, switched cause resets weren't helping my bench and press. No athletic background.

04/24/'11

Squats 250 5/5/5/5/5
wasn't so bad with a decent drop in weight (was doing 3x5 280)

Press 110 5/5/5/5/5
surprisingly easy!

Row 150 5/5/5/5/5
these are so boring I think I'm gonna drop them completely

CGBP 100 10/10/15
just tryin these out, they're awesome assistance


04/26/'11

Bench 180 5/5/5
hard, spotters hands were on the bar too, not satisfied..

Chins 3/3/3
ridiculously hard, must be too much weight gain

push press 120 2/3/3/3/3
tryin em out, they're awesome...

clean 120 3/3/3
regret stopping these, form is nearly perfect now on the flipside


04/28/'11

Squats 280 1x5
nothing I couldn't handle..

Press 125 for a double, 130 for a single
turned into a tomato pushing the single, but got it up

Deadlift 320 5 singles
3 plates, fuck yeah! I think my balls have dropped officially

missed a day 'cause i slept past the gyms closing time... it was worth it.

05/02/'11

Squats 260 5x5
explosive bar speed, easy.

Bench 170 5x5
wasn't as easy as I'd have liked, but managable.

PC 140 8x3
great. 8 sets takes forever though.

push press 140 2/1/1/2/2/1
kinda rushing these. it's nice to get a plate overhead though.

hamburger helper time.

Glad to see you post here dsp. I didn't post this to bust your chops, but in case you might not know, it's spelled cojones En Espanol. Cajonas, as you spelled it implies the feminine gender in Spanish. Now please understand, I'm really not trying to give you a hard time here, but some others might.

LMFAO! Wow, I knew I sucked at other languages but this is just.. wow. So instead of getting bigger balls, the thread name is basically "turning into a bigger vagina"

Thats freaking awesome.

[Mark E. Hurling]

OK, I'm glad I didn't offend you. I do that plenty in Ends and Pieces, but only when provoked. Keep at it and do well.

"light day"

Press - 110 3x5
underestimated myself during warm ups, could've banged out 115

BB Curls - 70 3x5
just tryin somethin' new, and my back is still sore from the cleans on Mon so didn't feel like chinning.

close grip bench - 10@100, 8@120, 6@140, 4@160
gettin ready to set some prs friday, not too much volume

1 set weighted sit ups 35lbs x 15


I'm currently trying to cut weight. I'm eating enough to recover and the right foods to do so still, just cut out alot of milk and junk. I think I can still get some decent strength gains while I do some silly bullshit for a month, I am already over 200lbs @ 5'10. My ass could use some shrinkin'. I do want to be the hulk though, I'm just cutting some weight so my weight-strength ratio is a little better, and YES because I'm a faggot who's a little tired of rolls all his life. Again, not looking for abs, just a tighter stomach and smaller ass. Not gonna crash diet again, that fucked up everything.

current weight: 208lbs

Fuck yeah Friday
05/06/'11

Bench - 190 for a triple (spotter helped last rep), 200 for a single (all me), 190 for a double (all me)
someone was on the rack so yeah. WOW, destroyed these, usually my arms wobble under heavy bench but not today!

Squat - 290 for a triple, 260 for a triple
been biking to and from school the past few days (pure hills), so not too bummed about not getting my 1x5

Deads - 320 for 2 triples, hook grip
hooray for the hook grip! found a better place to clench my thumb so it doesn't crack. went from 5x1 to 2x3, pretty good improvement

All this AND I lost 8 lbs of bodyweight (checked before and after workout)! That means I hit the almighty bodyweight bench! Im seriously stoked now, I'm gaining strength and recovering and losing weight at a good pace, although I expect alot of what I lost was water as I don't get to sweatin' much. Still, FUCK YEAH FRIDAY!

Current bw: 200lbs

Holy Shit Sunday (I didn't take the two days off because I felt strong today and had shit alls else to do)
05/08/'11

Squat 270 1x2 SUPER FAIL
I didn't even bother with these after that, I've been biking everywhere and lost 12 lbs in a little over a week so I'll do one medium squat session on tuesday this week.

Press 115 5/3/3/3/3
These were also harder than expected. I could've probably bumped another set or two of the 3's to 5's, but ehhh

power clean 150 3/3/3/3/3
these were tough but more due to the form than anything. didn't do 8x3 cause last week when I did that I was SOREEEE.

press 115 3/3/3
thought I was doing 3x5 the first time around, so I was missing a good amount of reps and came back to this bitchh


that was it for today. that was a pretty shitty session, but at least I got all my reps for the press and power clean in. decided to call it a day after the presses cause i was starving.

current bw: 198lbs

light day
05/10/'11

bench 175 3x5 ez

curls in the squat rack 70 7/7/7
yeah, im that bastard. luckily no one really uses the ONE squat rack we have.

push press 140 3/2/3/2/2
some reps just didn't go well and the push didn't clear my head, working on form but overall much better than last attempt

bw 203 (i ate a big dinner but damn)

i guess all the weight loss was water that came back a bit. oh well, that means i've lost at least 5-6lbs of fat. legs are alot less fat and I still feel strong overall.

05/13/'11

Press 130x3*, 140x1*
1 plate overhead accomplished, fuck yeah.

Deadlift 320x5*
rep pr, time to increase weight

bw ~198

pumped from getting a plate over my head with a strict press. was suspended for the day due to swearing in a public tennis court (lol), so I went about an hour after getting up.
