What is everyone drinking these days?  I just discovered the Laphroaig brand.  Excellent stuff.  Really smoky taste with a great finish.Continue

Whats up everyone.  I'm trying to reach 225 for three on the bench.  Currently, I'm at 195 for three and 205 for one.  Those are completely unassisted full reps.  I'm a little worried about…Continue

"Ah, thank you for setting me straight Martin; I wasn't sure about my information.   Knowing who owns Caol Ila is far less important to me, however, than knowing where I can find it locally!  I usually have to…"

Martin Clarke replied to Matt's discussion Whiskies and Scotches
"Yes Christopher, Caol Ila is definitely one of the finest single malts around, but the Caol Ila distillery is owned by Diageo, a British multi-national alcoholic drinks company. The Laphroaig distillery is owned by Beam inc. -- an American spirits…"

"I'm more of a bourbon drinker myself, but i do fancy a few fingers of The Famous Grouse now and then. Not exactly high-class, but very smooth and a nice addition to a good book. If i'm going to splurge, i have to go with one of…"

"Caol Ila (which if memory serves might be owned by Laphroaig...): hard to find but the best single-malt I've had.  Smoky, peaty, and just amazing."

"Good point.  If you push you must pull.  Balance is incredibly important."

Rob Sexton replied to Matt's discussion Bench press help
"Single best advice I ever received for increasing bench weight was hitting my back hard and heavy.  I plateaued around 275 x 5, I just couldn't make that jump into the 290-300 range.  When I started doing heavy barbell rows, heavy…"

Paul F. D'Addario replied to Matt's discussion Bench press help
"A couple things you can try. 1.  Do many sets for a few reps each.  If, for example, your max is 225; do sets w/ 190# (~85% of max) - 10 sets of 3 reps each. 2.  Try pre-exhausting the assisting muscles - the triceps and anterior…"

Matt replied to Matt's discussion Bench press help
"I appreciate all the replies everyone.  All of your advice has been sound.  I actually hit 225 for one last week.  It was a long haul.  I think I'm going to switch things up.  That 5/3/1 workout sounds good. "

Carl Monster replied to Matt's discussion Bench press help
"Google the 5 3 1 workout. It looks way more complicated than it actually is, and the whole reason behind it is to constantly keep the body guessing. I've switched from the basic Starting Strength program because I was hitting…"

"I was reading an article about bench presses recently.  One of the issues I was having was that I wasn't seeing a size increase and didn't really feel a burn in my pecs.  The issue was form.  I needed to arch my back a bit…"
