why yuo brag at me?

Ok, so it's not really about bragging. Just about everyone here seems to be pretty cool and not troll like in the main forum. I would think this could be a successful thread and offer some cool info.

Post up some of the movements you enjoy(or just want to) doing and the weights you work with.

I don't have anything special to offer. But it's always fun to see what different people lift w/ different body sizes. Maxes and normal training weights are fine. Whatever you want to offer.

168lbs
5'9-10"(lol I dunno)

The worse first...

Squat 195 8x3
Leg press 245 10x4
Leg extensions 140 10x4
Standing jumps- about 35 total. I do these at the end of my leg days. They are actually the toughest movement of the leg day.

When I train my legs I do the reps as fast as I can. My goal is, to first of all, become faster and jump higher for playing ball. Secondly, become stronger. So twitch speed is of primary importance. The weights are still less than they should be. But that's what I get for forsaking my legs for over a year.

Shoulder dumbbell press 120 8x3
Barbell pull-up(from waist up to chin) 85 10x3
Not sure of the name but you hold your arms stiff and extend them with a plate from thighs up to face height(can't bend elbows)- 35 8x3
Dumbbell shrugs 140 8x3
Barbell shrugs 285 6x3

Close-grip Cable Row 145 10x3
Wide-Grip Cable Pull Down 150 6x3
Hammer Row 115 per arm 8x3
Close-Grip Cable pull down 170 8x3
Deadlift 195 8x3

Rope/bar cable extensions 120 12x1, 150 12x1, 180 8x1, 200 6x1
Arm dips(body weight all the way down) 45
Skull Crushers 65 10x3

Dumbbell curls (each arm) 35 12x1, 45 10x1, 50 6x2
Preacher bar curl (standing) 25 12x1, 75 10x1, 85 8x1, 95 8x1
" " (sitting on fixed machine) 70 12x1, 80 10x1, 90 8x1

Bench Press 135 12x1, 185 6x1, 195 6x1, 205 6x1
Incline Dumbbell Press 130 10x3
Decline Dumbbell Press 175 6x3

That's about it. I do plenty of other stuff and mix it up every 2 weeks to keep the routine fresh. I've been training on and off for 2 years and suffer from not having a spotter but every 3 weeks. Started off weighing 149 and having about 18% bf. I am now going through my first bulking phase and look forward to weighing 175-180 by the beginning of spring. My issue for the first year and half was me not eating enough, basically about 1700 cal. per day.

I've maxed once in my life about a year and half ago. 205 x3 on my bench. I was training with 155 then. I have no idea what I could max now. /shrug

Now, you...

*edited: for dyslexia

Wtf. Someone get in on this.

too many consecutive letters

168, 5/11

16% body fat, so a lean body mass of less than 150lbs

Been squating benching pressing and deadlifting for about 7 months now, cutting 6 of those months, so no real gains:(

squat(ass to floor) 205lbs x 5
Bench 155lbs x 25
dumbell bench 65lbs x 25
press 105lbx x 25
deadlift 210 x 5

bench and press i have no spotter, so i do a 5x5 with a manageable weight, my 5 rep max isn't much higher, probably 165 bar and 70lb dumbells.

u can do 155lb x 25 but only 165 x 5? that doesnt sound right, same for the dumbells :P

Been doing the rippetoe workout for about 2 months now and here are my numbers: (not impressive but I am improving a lot) Am 5'10 ~165
Bench:160x5
Squat:170x5
DeadLift: 170x5
Military press: 75x5
Curls: ~80x5
Pendlay Rows: 115x5

I seem to been making a lot of progress on my bench/p.rows/military press, but not so much on my dead lift or squat. Do I just have weak legs? I may be able to do a bit more I am just afraid to especially with the squat because I don't have a spotter.

6' / 160ish

the exercises i find the most fun/challenging:

front Squats: 185x10
Bench (Dumbbells+ on Stability ball): 50sx5-8
Knee-ins (with low pulley) - 30lbs

i don't know what it's called but: from a seated position i always liked to take 35lb dbs, hold them out like doing a crucifix and then (with arms still only slightly bent) raise them overhead then back down. unfortunately it takes up a fair amount of space on either side of you so i don't like to inconvenience other lifters if the area is packed.

Bench (Dumbbells+ on Stability ball): 50sx5-8


thats my fav exercise. been cycling it in my routines for about 4 years now. 125s x 4 but usually stick with 100s x 12-13

6'1 225

Deadlifts: 225 3x8
Shrugs : 315 3x8
Waist to chin bar: 95 3x8
Bench: 185 3x8 don't know max.

i saw one of my college's football players doing it one day in the gym and decided to gank it. almost fell right off the ball the first time d:

try alternating arms or doing single arm and u will fall off! like i did. also if u ever get someone to spot u on them do it from the elbows, not the wrists. the wrists tend to get the weight off balance and cause the db's to collapse on your chest or face. good times

good tip! now if i see someone i dislike doing it i will offer to spot them and try your trick

u can do 155lb x 25 but only 165 x 5? that doesnt sound right, same for the dumbells :P

x25 meant 5x5, not 1x25

i'm naturally barrel chested, which is great for the V build look and everything, but you would think i would have better bench numbers...

Though all through school when most kids entire workouts were working on bench pressing i never lifted, just played soccer.

I have no idea of my current situation haven't lifted in 2 years no :(
no gym for me.

I warm up sometimes with dumbbell presses on a training ball. It's an odd position to workout in.

Uh, lemme see what I did this week.

Military Press 145 x 5
Bench Press 225 x 5
Squat 350 x 5
Deadlift 395 x 5

That is the top set, I do a Starr 5x5 program right now so the first 4 sets are lower weight. Unsure what my max on these lifts is presently.

Rayn, how big are you? Height/weight

I'm 6', 210 currently. Will cut down to 190ish by mid-Spring.

6' 175

today's workout was

[ 100m swim sprint + 50m combat swimmer stroke ] x 10
[ 5min bike + 1min squat + 1min lunge + 1min calves + 2min situps ] x 3
[ 10 pullups ] x 5

I haven't PUMPED IRON in a while due to my current fitness goals.

bench 135x8 205x8 255x8 275x8
military press 135x8 165x8
deadlift 345x8 (I think hard to add that one)
I use a hacksquat machine and leg press + ab exercises rather than squats. Sry risk of injury over 10 year period even with good form is way to high for squats. Not as good as squats until you blow out ur knee LoL. When I use to do squats I got up to 275x8 tho but It's just too risky right now without my friends around to watch my form all the time.

I do lots of other wierd exercies oh that reminds me I need to make a biceps thread right now I"m doing
2 sets barbell curl x8 (85,105)
4x sets of hammer curls x8,x8,x8 40 45 45
some overhand preacher curls and then lots of wrist and rotarer exercises but I'm just not seeing any increases in strengths or its going very slowly. I gotta make a thread where I ask people what I should do to switch things up!

6'0 `195-198 ish
