Thanks for the great comments bro – nice bench yourself. I have some work to do to catch up to guys like you!
Keep it up! I appreciate the support…

Yeah, I hear ya….5 lbs over the last little while isn’t anything to write home about. But that’s okay, I am not trying to gain weight at this stage anyway. I am just trying to get stronger…
Thanks for the support J.
Fair enough….I …
Fair enough….I don’t think I am any “puffier” than I was last year, but whatever man….people see and think what they want to think. I don’t worry about that.
I am sure I could get over 220 lbs quite easily….I was 217 lbs in my last year of high school in much better shape (back in my bodybuilding/basketball playing days!). Now I am just old…. ha, ha…
Good pushes man …
Good pushes man your looking strong, and your actually benching unlike most of the youtubers! lol. Keep up the good work I look forward to watching your progres!s
Also, I think you …
Also, I think you would scare people … wait let me rephrase that. I KNOW you would scare people with your lifting if you were getting help from a pharmacy. After watching your vids over the year, it is blatently obvious that you are clean and making small steps at a time.
I would have to …
I would have to strongly disagree with the puffy comment. I know crushyouwithmegrip was asking an honest question, not being an but my view from watching your videos is that you are gaining size in the right places. Your chest, shoulders and arms are noticably thicker. I say push it up to 220+ over the next year. Slow and steady gains.

I have also learned to deload whenever my body feels it needs it and this has made a big difference for me. Having Mark (HHH396) and Jordan (jlinteris) kicking my has helped fuel the fire too…my ego is too BIG to let them whip me for long! Ha, ha…
I use my ego to my advantage….the stronger I get, the responses I get, which makes me want to hit the weight heavier and harder and on and on it goes….that’s the whole reason I started this YouTube thing….Thanks bro!

So, I actually noticed a big difference from the protein shakes (surprised me) and I gained about 5 lbs within the first week or two. But that’s it….I would be asking for a refund if I was using something and I only gained 5 lbs from it! Ha, ha…
My gains have been slow and steady since I started this journey back in July 2008. I would say variety and competition have been the secret to my success thus far. If you keep your body guessing – you will keep growing…
Ha, ha…..I guess …
Ha, ha…..I guess I will take that as a compliment bro. I train as heavy as I can as often as I can, but what I do to recover is I try to keep the volume down. That way I can recover faster and train more…
Sometimes I only do one or two worksets and that’s it. Like when I hit 330 lbs for 8 reps the other day – that’s all I did.
I look puffy? Ha, ha….
Like I mentioned about a month ago, I started taking protein shakes (3 per day – approx. 200 grams) to help me recover.
Ok explain this. …
Ok explain this. You are training extremely heavy very often. Doing bench as much as 3 times a week. You have gained some weight recently, even look a little puffy. Not that you would answer here, but are you getting help from the pharmacy?? You have all the signs of someone using. Sorry if this sounds negative. Either way, It’s not my business, and I don’t care. Nice lifting tho. Hard work is paying off.
Thanks Josh. Nice …
Thanks Josh. Nice work your self. You are closing in on 400 lbs….shouldn’t be too much longer!
Oh man….I have …
Oh man….I have been at this for 20+ years….it takes a lot of time and patience to build true strength. This is a Nautilus setup.
Thanks for the great comments.

Thank you sir – I appreciate that!

Thanks C – I appreciate the comment. Great job with 485 lbs…you make it look soooo light!

370 lbs x 1 is a great bench press bro….keep training hard and who knows where you will be in a few years.
Thanks for the great comments…
Great job on the …
Great job on the 375 Randy!
You really had to grind that last few rep out!
Yeah, we’ll see I …
Yeah, we’ll see I guess….I will probably try 320 to 325 lbs for 10 on my next flat bench workout. We’ll see…it’s also about time for another cambered bar workout cycle…so who knows….I will play it by ear.
That’s a great …
That’s a great point Jordan….I noticed that awhile back. But actually it worked in the opposite direction during this workout because the bands were stretched further on the 475 lb double then when I loaded up 5 plates. I am pretty sure that’s why 5 plates was sooo hard!
Thanks for pointing that out though…
Sorry to hear you …
Sorry to hear you are dealing with injuries, etc….still…550 lbs would be a of a pull bro! Can’t wait to see it…
These videos are …
These videos are really inspiring man, awesome job keep it up! Makes me want to push harder in the gym. Just wondering how long you’ve been at this? Many years I imagine? Also, where did you buy that bench/rack combo? I could use something like that at home.. thanks bro, keep up the good work!
great job randy!
