I am not really too obsessive about genetic potential. I just try to come up with goals that seem reasonable at a natural weight. Yeah, yeah the bench is disproportional but if I made it proportional then I would accomplish it within 4 months.
I think this log is going to be on here for a while. It might take 15 months to get to 170, 8% bodyfat. But I just know if I make it to 300,350, 400 I will sort of look like I Lift.
This is 154 pounds right here. And the worst part of all is how weak I am. I mean, I can probably do maybe 13 or 14 pullups on a good day. That's facking ****. I mean I weigh 152, I should be doing 20. And my rowing?? Its pathetic. I use 60lbs for dumbell rows. 115 pounds for Pendlay rows.
And yet while my lats are crap, I have decent thickness at 154. Which in my opinion, tells me I am little closer to genetic potential than you guys really think (even if I am still quite far away). CR is right. In two years I will probably be crying under my bed about why I still look like I don't Lift. But that's fine also. I am going to give it my best shot. And my best shot has always been better than anyone around me. So bring it boys. Going to do go do some squats right now. Not sure if I am going for 185 or 190 for 5 reps. Can't wait til I can squat 225 for 5 reps. I will be so happy. Tiny aspirations for a tinybro. That should be the name of my log, "Aspirations from a tinybro."
I just had a flashback to when I was 18 years old and a senior in high school. I needed an extra PE class so I took some type of cardio/weightlifting class. Coach had me go to the bench press to show me the form. We load 5 pounds on each side. I wobbled through like a madman and got 1 rep!!! One facking rep!!!!
