DRAGON COMPLEX GYM
Wade let Adam and Tibbs work out the spot. He was getting his head right. Besides for 225, he only needed the spot for safety. It would really only matter at 315 and 405. The girls thought it was impressive though. Lilly was cute about it, but Wade said nothing. He had no room in his head for that at the moment.
Once the weight was on the bar, Wade laid back and slid under the bar. He placed his hands into position, applying just enough press to get tension in his arms. Afte a glance and nod at his spotter, he pushed the weight off and let it come down slowly with a big inhale. The moment the bar tapped his chest, he pushed, squeezing his pecks and flexing his triceps. One second up, then two seconds down. One, two, three, four, five... breathing out every rep with a loud but steady hiss... six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. He held it up the last one for a full, second then let Adam help him find the support. Once is twa securely in place, he curled up off the bench and did twenty slow pushups.
"Okay, good start" He said as he stood, yanking his elbows back and wide to stretch his chest. "Two plates more and 30 seconds rest for the next set." After putting the extra 90 on, He paced swinging his arms wide, forward and back to stay loose. Thirty seconds felt like an eternity, but at the mark he back in position, nodding to the two spotters now.
315 was no joke. Even for his size, it wasn't light and definitely too heavy for a screw up. He got his head right and pushed. One.. two... then down, one... two... and up for one second. He pumped out the twelve with not visible difficulty, but the last one was a bit slow to lock out. That was good. Once the bar was back in place, he jumped off the bench and dropped for twenty more pushups.
"45 seconds."
The third set when basically the same. Wade needed a little spot on the last two reps, but he did lock it out and placed it back as he should. Again, there was twenty pushups.
"Okay two more plates and one minute. Last set. Whatever happens, don't lift it for me. Only help enough to keep it from going the wrong way."
A minute later, he was back down. "Alright, this is no joke. Let's do it."
Lift and hold. Inhale down for two seconds. And Up. Lock out! hold.
Down for two, inhaling. Bounce and up, exhaling. Lock and Hold!
Rep, three and four and five and six and seven hep pumped out like a machine. Eight came down a little fast, but not enough for a spot. Up was a little slow, but again, the spot wasn't needed.
"keep it steady." He blurted out as nine came down. He was holding it fine, but his muscled were burning and the spotters needs to pull a bit to keepit smooth. With their help he locked it up, one second then he went again
On the tenth, his teeth were bared and his inhale loud. The bar hit his chest and bounced, but the spotters needed get him started. Once his elbows got to 90 degrees, He took over pressing it out with a loud growl. "AAAAahhhhrrrrgghhhhh" He got it up, needed the spotters helping to get it racked.
Jumping up off the bench, he roared. "AAAARggh, Hell yeah!" then dropped for twenty.
"That's how you do it." He said standing and stretching his chest with big swings. "Fuck yeh." he cooled down for a few seconds then looked at Adam.
"Your turn, Bomb"
On nine,
