dudemon said:TBH, I have been so out of weight lifting these last couple of years. I Have been so overy exremely pre-occupied with school, and I have been through the ringer with a myriad of pesky health problems and illnesses (ie - ear infections, pulled muscles .. and now just this week - swollen lymph nodes). I have lost 10 lbs too in the last 7 days.
Before I got a torn ACL in my shoulder, and all the other *issues*:
(in lbs)
Flat barbell bench - 5 sets 10 x 275 (max 325)
Squats - 5 sets 10 X 275 (max 345)
Now: (If I even make to the gym at all :mrgreen: )
Flat barbell bench - 5 sets 10 x 135
Squats - 5 sets 10 x 135
(And I have been lifting weights since about 1979 ... LOL) :mrgreen:
How about you?
I apologize dudemon, clearly you are a mean mofo with a boatload of muscle unk:
Are you sure your 1 rep maxes are correct? If you can bench squat 275 for 10 reps, you are super strong. You should capitalize on that..wear some nice clothes/suites that hint of the strong mofo you are (see how nice Schwarzeggars suits are). And yeah, you may have to lose 20lbs of fat to show neck muscles etc; but it should not be a problem for ya. Make the scars work for you.
I have been genetically gifted to be a weakass it seems. My best lifts were
Bench Press: 175x5
Squats: 220x5
^^And I had to struggle to get there..it took me years to bench press 135.
Been out of training for a couple of years due to moving and what not, getting back into it.
