[Darracq]

Been lifting for about a month and i need to start keeping better track of my progress so i guess this is a good place. Low sets and reps seem to work best for me, my body just doesnt like volume.

[PHOENIX]

if you just started a month ago,then I really have to give it to you. It took me forever to hit 225 in bench. I am slightly more than you in weight, right now about 5lb more (off my peak of mid 150s).

so u never lifted before this one month?

keep up the good work.

[Darracq]

I have lifted on and off for a long time but its been 4 or 5 years since i lifted so i consider it starting over. I have never done squats before this though.

[Darracq]

I am 2 inches taller than you so you can see im pretty thin, The most i ever benched was 225x6 5 years ago and i weighted about 160 then. that is the most i have ever weighted, im 37 years old.

You may want to wait a little longer between time, but meantime you are doing nicely dude! - ;)

[Darracq]

You mean more rest days? I was thinking the same thing i was shaky and just didnt feel right, I think i just need a week off completely, but i just cant seem to take the time off.

[Coke]

Yes, more rest days may do you some good - maybe 6 to 7 days...in other words in my case waiting 5 days is good, 6 is better, and 7 is best but it all depends on your situation bro.

Although I am not an expert, I've been there and back...don't take too many days off in a row because it will bring trouble if you know what I mean.

Just put in a little more work and you will be glad you did, and right before summer too mang - :D

Hey Darrac, you live around the Kansas area don't you? If you want to compete, there is a meet in Overland Park, Kansas on September 18. It is APF/AAPF, and it should be top-notch. I'll probably be there lifting if everything works out.
