Hey guys, I keep track of my lifts at home on my excel sheet. I figured I would put my numbers up on the site. I have been lifting for about 2 months now. I have lifted in the past, but nothing like this. I was always the 10-12 rep guy, thinking i was getting big. HAHA not anymore. Now I am on the right Road!!
11-22-05 BodyWeight 194
Squats 225x8, 245x4, 285x3
Leg Curl 170x8 180x8 190x7
Ham Curl 80x8 80x7
Calf Raise 90x8 100x8
11-27 BW 195
Dead Lifts 225x6 245x4
Chest Ups BWx 4 BWx 4 just started these
Pullovers 120x8 130x6
DB Flat 80x8 80x8
Incline DB 50x8 50x8
Dips(weighted) 45x6 45x8
As you can see I have to increase weight. Once I hit 8 reps I increase weight
These are my last 4 lifts for each bodypart. I usually lift each part once a week and I work very hard. I like to keep my reps at 4-6. I have gained about 5-8 pounds since starting about 2 months ago. I have been on a cycle of Methyl-drol for almost 1 month. I plan on cycling for 6 weeks. I have records for the last 2 months, I just figured this is a good start!!
Let me know how this looks.

I am 21 yrs old 5'9" and love pain.. I weight 195lbs Dont know bodyfat%, but it will sure get lower once March hits! Would like to get down to 12-15%. and weight close to 200lbs cut. Dont know if this helps but if i flex my abs I have about 1-1.5 inches of fat on top.!!! also have a 34 waist, I will get some measurements later..

You don't need to weigh in every day....IMO the mirror is a better tool
also being the 10-12 rep guy does make you bigger
stay on the IM board long enough and you'll learn
keep up the good work

I am not worried about my weight, I just do it for recording purposes. And my understanding is lower reps bigger gains. No?

It depends what you're aiming for, and what your training philsophy is. Most people don't train exactly like the next person. Generally, 8-12 reps is considered to be optimal for hypertrophy, and 6 reps and lower is generally used for strength specific training, but a lot of that also depends on what your overall training regimine is like.
felt pretty good today. was very happy with my deadlift progress. Tuesday shoulders!!

so lower reps, more strength---high reps bigger and more cut muscles??

I just got new software that adds up all the foods I eat in a day. Called heart smart. love the program. I actually get to see how MUCH food I have to eat to keep up with my 3200 calorie a day diet. I ate well today and hit 3100 calories. the most I have eaten yet. feels good. Tomarrow is shoulders. I will keep this updated! Giddy up
