This has been one helluva week for me.. just thought I'd post up these numbers to get more motivation.. sorta "set it in stone" if you will :
So far:
Monday - Deadlift - 3 sets of 495 (finally five plates !) x 6
Bar shrugs - 2 sets 495 x 6
Tuesday - Incline bar bench - 3 sets 325 x 6
Flat Bar bench - 2 sets 365 x 6
Wednesday - Alternate db curls - 2 sets 80's x 6
Straight bar curls - 2 sets 175 x 6 (elbows kept tucked to sides)
Thursday - Squats - 3 sets 375 x 6, 385 x 6, 390 x 6 (ass to the floor!! Firm believer in below parallel for growth)
Friday - Seated Military DB press - 115's x 6, 120's x6, 125's x 4 solid, forced out the 5th and 6th..( had a problem with getting the weights up to press them.. usually I have my spotter help me kick them up, but I had a problem with the left side so it screwed my set.. I think I'm going to have two people just hand me the weights at the top next time to avoid this problem)
Saturday was hams and I skipped doing heavy straight leg deads becase my arms/shoulders were feeling a little beat up from this week, so I just took it easy with some light straight leg deads this week.. (225 x 8)
Everyone else, I encourage you.. post up your numbers, let us all know what you're working with... The best part, is 6 months from now you can reread it and know if you're on track !

I figured you to be a real pansy..... and your lifts confirm what a candy-ass you are. You should be ashamed of posting those baby-weights......... my sister lifts more.
Actually, those are very admirable stats bro. Great job. How tall are you, how much do you weigh?
Be well.

How did I know you'd come strolling through here and bash my puny lifts I was just telling a guy in the gym the other day that my grandmother can lift that much too... anyhow lol, you're a funny guy PC1 !
I'm 5'5 1/2", around 205 fairly low bf, If I had to guess I'd say 10-12%, I haven't had it measured in a while so I don't know what it really is, I pretty much go by how I look in the mirror. Thanks for the compliment though, seriously, I'm still a long way from pro status, but hey it's a start .
