Thanks brother. I found that to be pretty normal in commercial gyms, 120 lbs limits. When I travel to see friends and there is not a base nearby or I don't want to workout on base I will hit a local gym for a day pass. Of course, they try and get me to join. I always make a joke that I won't join a gym that only has dumbbells that go to 120 lbs. I get the same excuse every time, they cater to the masses and very few people can lift them. I tell them that is BS. 120 lbs dumbbells only seem heavy when they are the heaviest dumbbell in the gym. They are limiting their customers. If they had 150's, guys would be throwing around 120's before you know it. It is like the story of the 4:00 mile.Love those hammer strength machines. They are my favorite. Damn son, 150lb dumbbells on the top set? My gym only goes up to 120. That’s heavy shit.

I was posing in the locker room today and one of my old Marines snapped a photo while I was doing a back double bicep. I was pretty pleased considering this was legs and arms day and my back didn't receive any pump at all.

Thanks brother. I have kept the log on WCBB since 2004. It has been through so many training transformations, going from powerlifting to DC training, crossfit/combat conditioning, endurance training, bro split and back to DC.Good look for an "old" Marine. I haven't met any new Marines since I was one, but in my experience, you just can't beat an old Marine. I lurk, but stfu-myself in your Log, but it IS one of the best things that's ever been here.
Thank you.
Brother, that just means that every aspect of fitness can relate to whatever it is your into these days! Not to mention learning from where you're at and where "their" potential can end up. Way to kill it.Thanks brother. I have kept the log on WCBB since 2004.

I felt really weak today. I only had 60 grams of carbs today and my blood sugar was low at the start of my workout. I powered through, but it sucked. Weighed 201 lbs this morning.
Flat dumbbell press (5) warm up sets (top set was 150 lbs x 12)
Hammer strength chest press (2) feeder sets, 3 pps x 5/5/5/4/2 (muscle round)
Incline dumbbell fly stretch 60 seconds
Lat rows (4) feeder sets, 85 lbs x 8/8/8/8/5 (muscle round)
Behind the neck press (5) warm up sets (top set was 225 lbs x 12)
Face pulls (2) feeder sets, 60 lbs x 8/8/8/8/26 (Muscle round. This was way too light, but 70 lbs felt really heavy, so I dropped to 60 lbs. My mistake.)
Rack deads (4) feeder sets, 545 lbs x 16 (I set the pins as low as they could go, which is 12 inches and the plates are 9 inches to center, so they were only 3 inches above the floor to start.)
Cross body band shoulder stretch 60 seconds
Hanging lat stretch 60 seconds
Hands behind the back shoulder stretch 60 seconds
