dude, the same thing happened to me about two months ago. I've NEVER had an exertion headache in the gym.. and all of a sudden I was benching and it destroyed me.. I felt like throwing up.

I kind of blamed it on smoking two cigars the night before and sleeping like s*** and going to the gym at 6:30 am. I told my girl about it and she flipped... wanted me to get checked out at the doc and stuff. Nah I'm good.

I took three days off and it hasn't happened since. Hope you can get back at it soon.

what a dick. You can totally file a police report BTW. Maybe some of the shops have outward facing cameras that caught the incident.

Or you can camp out at the Dunkin same time tomorrow/remainder of this week and hope the f***er stops in to buy another cup of joe.

Gym was PACKED today BTW - we've got all of the New Year Resolution people coming in to put in their 30 days of work and then quit b/c it's too inconvenient to continue.

Did deads today and hit 335x2! Felt really good.... Tried 345x1 and failed, then went back to 275/225 and repped out.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to get back to my 6:00-6:30 A.M lifting routine that I've fallen out of recently. I just feel so much better when I knock it out first thing.

bench on the other hand is where when i hit a plateau i just have nothing for it

Oh, and drop sets/huge volume is what helped me break my bench plateau.

I'm talking 8-10 sets of flat bench something like 135x10, 145x10, 155x10, 165x10, 185x8, 195x5, 185x7, 165x8, 155x10, 135xfailure, followed by incline w/ similar formula. Sprinkle a few of those in with the 5/3/1.

alcb as in arms legs chest back?

Yeah. Tons of volume and you can vary between strength/hypertrophy week by week. 4 on / 1 off. Shoulders go with chest day. Typically hit abs and do cardio during the off day.

Those are awesome numbers for 165lbs and congrats on your progress. Weightlifting really is the only fountain of youth.

I'm currently at 173 (bulking to 180 then cutting to 10-12% Body Fat)

bench: 245x1, 225x3-4, 185x12 ; 205x6-8 depending on day..
overhead: 145x1 (never really tried to max this; end up doing 115 - 135 for sets of 5-8) - mostly work on DB press and seated presses during shoulder days
squat: 305x1 - do a lot of 5x5 in 225-245 range
deadlift: 335x1 - honestly my worst lift.. having a hard time breaking this plateau.

Working on a Push Pull Leg split, but recently went to a A/L/C/B routine which is helping me with strength gains. I'll need some serious improvements in my lower body to hit 1000 club

Yes, but *WARNING* There is a very very, very, small possibility of having permanent nerve damage depending on how deep the tooth is rooted and what happens during extraction. I'm talking one in a million type s***. Apparently, they aren't all "clean pulls".

I should know, it happened to me. One in a f***ng million.

Now parts of my lower lip and chin area are completely numb to touch and sensitive to certain foods. This was 6 years ago.
