what do they call it when you rep a certain amount of weight, then take some of the weight off and rep it again? I did 4 sets of this and after i was done i felt like i was in a whole different world. It was crazy hard to do.

I'm so tired right now

I row. Amazing excercise. Check out an erg at the gym.

yeah, that sounds right. Oh god, that was some of the hardest work i have done in my life.

Its called a drop set, great to finish up a workout with!

I maxed out today at 170 pounds on bench press.

What does everyone else max out at?

Just hit 250 last week.

Not much for bench pressing, Im more focused on endurance training
3 miles run
2 minutes hindu squats
40 sit ups, 30 side crunches, 20 leg lifts, 20 lower back lifts
25 curls each arm, 25 lbs
12 reps each -
lat. pull downs at 120 lbs
rowing pulls at 140 lbs
butterflies at 100 lbs
leg presses at 200-250 lbs
upper body training, 12-24 reps at 90-150 lbs.
leg training, 12-20 reps at 70-120 lbs

I was heavily into training then onto power lifting around 6 or 7 years ago and was lifting some pretty heavy weights mainly training to lift heavy on the Bench, Deadlift and Squats but ended up giving up as it was taking over my life and with the arrival of my second child i just didn't have the time. I am paying the price now though as i had to have both of my knees operated on in the last 2 years due to damaged tissue and cartliage and find i eat far too much due to the amount of calories and protien had to get in while i was training. I keep threatening to get back into the training but i manage to keep in fitt..ish by playing squash and cycling.

This thread is a reminder that I actually need to excercise. I do play Badminton but need to hit the gym. I usually do pilates stretches after cardio.

omg, my triceps are screaming right now. I just did 205 pound negatives.
