1600m breast stroke Kickboard 25m on 200m interval 60 flutter kick X 3 60 boxer situps X 3 CWwest going to have a River of Death FUN! as well? Not that's I'm aware of. Swimming started as an exercise in facing a fear and turned into enjoyment. Good full body work out and is helping to increase my lung capacity. I've lost 15 pounds off minimal diet change and through rigorous swimming/workout in the last 2 months. Also back into size 36 waist pants which isn't bad for a 6'6" 225lb dude. That was swim day, I also do running and plyometrics. Today is 8 sets of 25 strict/explosive down/ups and wall walk hand stands. Tomorrow is 2 mile run and wind sprints. I've been at a carbine or pistol course every 4 weeks starting from October. Planning on adding a 15 lb weight vest later this month increasing 5 pounds every other week until march.. Looking at the workout of others mine isn't the standard but CWW looks fun and makes for good motivation. I think endurance will pay off |

Programming question:
I know bench isn't really all that important, but I've been stuck at 3x5x170 for a while now. Every time I try to add weight, I drop a rep at the end. All the same, I finish my presses at 170 and I'm thinking, I totally have the ability to do more. So today I threw an extra 10lb on there and hit 3x3x180. With fewer reps, again I feel like I can do more. Say effort level 8.5 out of 10. So what's my strategy here? Throw the weight on, and let the reps come as they will? Hit the 3x3 weight instead of 3x5? Alternate twice a week? DK says bench every day, but I think he might be wrong.

You have to switch to non linear progression. It's slow but will get you going again. You also probably aren't eating enough. |

Also, doing negatives with more weight than you can lift on your own can help you get used to the heavier weight and break through a plateau. Go heavy with some close grip bench on a non bench day. Both of these really require a spotter to be safe, though. There's a decent amount of hitting weight goals and breaking through plateaus that is just mental. |

You shut your whore mouth.
You know the rule of weightlifting. If I can't do it well, it doesn't matter. If I can do it well, it's super important.
See also: Everyone stronger than me is on juice, and everyone weaker than me is a pussy. 
Incline/decline I'm not doing, and perhaps that'll help. That's an easy change. How should you throw that in? Warmups, one set flat, one set up and one set down (still 3 work sets) or break it up between workouts? Have an incline day, a decline day, etc. That would have me bench every workout like DK says.
I don't mess with any drop sets. I do 3 or 4 warmup sets with one plate addition each time, and three work sets for whatever exercise it is. For example, my squats look like: 1x5x125 (2x 45s and my shitty 35lb bar) 1x5x195 (add 2x 35s) 1x5x245 (add 2x 25s) 3x5x270 (add 2x 10s and the tiny ones) For bench, it's more like: 1x5x125 1x5x145 1x5x165 3x5x170 To strip any back off afterwards, I don't know, because I'm not really hitting failure on the last work set. The whole point is I should be able to complete all reps, right? Besides, I don't have a spotter, so hitting failure on bench means I have to rack it on the bailout pegs and wiggle out from under it, pull off enough weight I can rack it, then put weight back on to get to wherever it needs to be.
I swear if there's a wrong way to do this lifting thing, I'm doing it.
And of course I'm not eating enough nor getting enough sleep. Duh. I just want there to be a magical solution that doesn't involve eating and sleeping better.

I just want there to be a magical solution that doesn't involve eating and sleeping better.  As far as when you want to do them, I'm not exactly sure with your routine. I have set days for different muscle groups so that I have a full weeks rest on each one. My usual chest day is either dumbbell or barbell flat bench for 3-4 sets after warmup, then 3-4 sets incline dumbbells ( I skip warmup sets on these and subsequent exercises since I'm already warmed up from bench), then 3-4 sets decline barbell, and 3-4 sets of flys. If I have time, I like to hit 3 different angles on the flys, with the cables set at the top, then the middle, then the bottom. You're right, not having a partner/spotter is going to greatly affect how hard you can push yourself. That's one of the trade offs to having your own weights vs going to a gym. Since it could be dangerous to go too heavy, just increase your reps. That will really help with your endurance too. If you find that magic pill, let me know, lol. |

You'll crush your plateu within a couple weeks. |

Lost 14 pounds in 15 days. Have to put on 20 by Jan 5th before I go and lose at least 20 more. PT test immediately after that.

I watched a video of KaiK lifting heavy stuff on FB. Then I fixed a water leak
and then I drank beer.

3x5x175 bench.
I guess I just needed to complain about it.
I thought, well, I can do three, let's see if I can get four. And then I'm like, shit, one more makes five, just do it. Oh, the last rep was nasty, but I got it up. Then I'm like... You did it once, do it again.
I still have along way to go, though. I want to hit at least 300 on squat, fix my clean, I need to buy more weight to deadlift now, and see if I can't tickle 200 on bench before CWW... |

If I could bail out without breaking something or if I had a spotter, I'd maybe try to find my squat 1R max.
It's got to be over 300. Of course, I only own 295# of weights.
For me, it's the fourth rep on the third set. I'm good with weights up to 270 until I get to that 14th rep, and then it's only sheer willpower getting it up. The last rep is killer, but I'm just so motivated to be done and rack it out that it's bearable. But the fourth one, good gravy. If I could hit just one rep? I gotta be able to do 300, but I'm not going to try it out without help or bumper plates. |

Sometimes I gotta get a little tiptoe action with the rack I have.
Maybe MsPist just isn't pushing enough weight. You put a lot of weight on your back, it makes you shorter. It's science.
Hey, totally unrelated... I need new toe shoes. My Skeletoes are beyond nasty at this point, having run two Cola Warriors, run hundreds of miles, plus kayaking in the Anacostia every weekend for like 3 years. They ratchet, guuuurl.
I don't want to spend a fortune, but they need to be good for lifting, running, boating/swimming, and be as funk-resistant as possible. $50 for new Skeletoes, or should I look at something else? Help me out, toe shoe people. |
