good luck mate, get someone to spot ya! lol
Go for it bro. You can do it. If you don't, keep trying, someday you will rep 315 20 times.
good luck bro
You can do it!!!!
i was up to 330lbs a few years ago but between 3 jobs and college and a girlfriend it was hard to keep it up at the gym so needless to say my **** dropped dramaticallyQuote:

YOU CAN DO IT BILLY!(From all the movies with Rob Schneider)
Yep, taking it slow, started light with high reps.
Mine was in my lower back, I couldn't walk for a couple of days, still can't feel the top of my left foot.
thanx guys! god****! man you really ****ed up.. how did you do that??Quote:

you have no idea how smart you are for doing this. I have SEVERE elbow pain. I also have pain in my shoulder and neck. My joints are shot. Every time I lift I am in some form of pain. I have been to more orthopedic surgeons than I can remember. Go slow, you will be greatful when you get to be 30 yrs old (like me).Quote:

The best I can tell I did it over time, from working bailing hay, to landscaping for several years, working hard instead of working smart. I have always been large and strong, and I didn't take care of myself. Hell I was benching 225lbs when I was 13 and I could military press 220lbs.
with a name like max-it you can tell that i am no fan of "light days" :)Quote:

I hit 485 twice on Saturday. No bounce, clean and smooth, I know that aint **** compared to some of the monsterz ;) on here. Good luck Hung.
good luck bro 3 plates was a good feeling, youll know soon enough
i broke it last week for 315x3, it was great, i did the same thing on my last set this morning.
Did 250X8 last week and felt great until my trainer said "Awesome, looked great. you'll be doing 315 for 6 by New year's" :eek:
Yeah, sure, but I better be running more than Centrum!
Muscle memory is a beautiful thing! If you did it before you will do it again and go up from there. Just think of something to really piss you off just before you do that max set. I'm going for max tonight too so I'm either going to feel really good or like crap at the end.
I'm a firm believer in force reps, even if you cant do those reps, its still working the muscle, i usualy do 3-4 at the end on my sets after ive done the reps on my own.
well did u get it, all ga ppl have to be the top baby..lol
hahahah, yeah no joke, that's a hell of a jump...Quote:

WoW Way to go. And I was all proud of getting 50 lb dumbells up. My best is 65 but that was at my peak. I'll be back there before long...and back to my 195 lb bench. Gonna break 200 in no time :)
Congrats HUng, and Barbi that's awesome. You'll break 200 no problem. If only my upper body was on par with the lower.
