Lifting
Been lifting for some 2+ months now. Nothing serious. Once or twice a week. 3 sets on the bench, without spotter. Main focus is to maintain strength gains and not get hurt (shoulder).
Started with very small weights. Like sub-100lb. Have been weak for various reasons. Anyway yesterday my last set was 6 reps of 185. Have 200 in my sights. 225 would be nice. Probably don't care to go beyond that. People that used to foul me successfully when I was driving to the lane are now nursing injuries. |
What a bunch of internet ninnies around here. I am pushing up a paltry 185lb 6 reps (not to failing btw), and not a single person to claim how crappy that is.
Or more likely, they are not currently going through a "bulking phase." Or if so, not wanting to hurt my feelings. Or perhaps intimidated by my genetics. Not me, but representation of my genes: http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...huity8uibh.jpg |

2 45s, 2 35s, 2 25s, 2 10s 2 5s + 45bar. That's 285lb right there. A smallish guy pushing up 200lb 10 times, with the implication of no previous lifting? Hmm...... |

Welcome John, you sound like a wonderful addition to our community.

I love lifting weights. I would lift weights any day over running. Now that we have settled into things here in Boston we just started our membership at the local YMCA and I can get back into it.
