Workout weights/ poundages/ reps

[powerman]

Just curious what some of you stronger douchebags here use for your working sets, poundages wise

Squats i work my way up to 495 for 3 sets 2, 4, 7 reps these go up every
couple weeks ill be at 550 for 7 by March
deads i know lots of you guys dont do these 585 2, 4, 6-7 reps
bench press barbell and dumbell bench press sucks since i tore my tri got 275 for 3 last week normally would do 3 sets with 315 3, 5, 7 i suck at this
seated military press barbell , dumbell ( i have to use smith machine since tricep injury) went up to 195 x 10 last week these are way down from injury as well, when healthy id got to 225 x 10 245 x 6 265 x 4
seated dumbells id got to 85s x 12- 15 cant get the 90s up by myself

yeah i always train alone so ive got to be very cautious on the squat and bench

Cant wait to get this fukin surgery done Dec14th ..oh yeah drug free since May, im gettin sick of this...lol

oh yeah 1 more i suck at curls just now gettin back up to 115 for 10 since tri injury. I was gettin 125 for 7-8 before injury

i know some of you fuckers can curl with 185

No e stats bitches, just the truth

155-175 e-z curl 6-8
im jealous of ur dead u short old sumbitch.JK.LOL!! tend not to go to balls out on dead an squat anymore.not strongest guy in the world,but hey, who is.95% of my strength was developed natty sytle.im actually a little freaked out with as quick as my bench an squat are goin up.my pulled pec aint serious.but never pulled that before.an got me thinkin.

Hell yeah Shotgun!!! That is exactly the same advice I've been giving in other threads I've responded to. I alternate my rep range from week to week.

Week 1: 5-7 reps
Week 2: 6-10 reps
Week 3: 10-12 reps
Week 4: 15-20 reps

I also change the exercises I use to work my muscles groups each week.

If you want some good workout ideas you can always go to muscleandstrength.com. A lot of interesting routines worth checking out and it's all for free.

Got a personal best today, thought I would share... nothing compared to you monsters... but still good for me. I am in PCT with a cold too so was pretty siked about it.

Flat Bench I got 315 then I did 225 x 15 reps immediately after

For Juiced |||----||| x 1 then ||----|| x 15 LOL

I like to think I have really good form too... I had treid to cheat on form on occasion before, but would just end up hurt, doesn't benefit anyone.

as we all know the best way to keep track of our progress you have to keep a log .
Well Spadude I wouldnt like to keep your log with all them changes every week ................having to wait 4 weeks to see if ive gained anything on the previous similar week LOL

Since I started this game coming up 15 years in Feb I have gained enormously horendous amounts of strength

I can now bench 10lb for 2 reps
Squat 20lb for 1 rep
Deads 30lb for 1 rep
and I can now curl the bar without any help.

yea really pleased with my progress

What the fuck does it matter what you lift, as long as you have given it all youve got . and trained properly thats all that matters.
we all weight different so lift different amounts
someone benching 200lb for 10 reps to failure is putting in the same effort as the guy whom does 400lb for 10 reps to failure.
Dont get me started on the old genetics shit that we all know is a major factor here.

It's not as hard as it seems to keep track. I created spread sheets for my workouts and just snag the one I need for that day. I look at the previous poundages used and decide what to begin with for the current workout. It's pretty refreshing to change up my exercises each week which definitely limits boredom. I see gains on all of my exercises every week so I'm not sure what's so funny about that??? Work hard and keep the muscles confused, don't let them get stagnate by performing the same exercises day in and day out week after week.

Can't help ya power. All you guys are much bigger douchebags than me...DAMMIT!!!

Genetics, has helped me a great deal. My dad,uncle, brother all around 215-230 range.

Thanks wet and thug!

The way I do it, is I just set goals based on the # or size of plates and once I reach that I never do less, and set a new goal. Sometimes I end up really high reps and sometimes I end up with only a couple, when I just reached a new goal. But this keeps my muscles confused and seems to be working great

genetic's play a huge roll.sum guy's are not gonna get hulkin(without roids)period.the guy that dosnt have the great genes an still showes up to pound the iron.well,he gets much respect from me.he puts in as much effort an gets less out of it.these guys struggle an still cum back for more.i wonder if i would have stuck with it givin those results.

[SpaDude]

My fingers have been getting tremendous pumps and size just from typing in all these responses on this site. I guess you could say it's the result of high repetitions and low resistance. lol
