I find a lot of humor in foremans post...and when he's offerring advice it's almost always on point...

silencer · 12-12-2005, 04:53 PM

Well then... I just disagree.

He's generally not too bad a guy, but his sarcastic comments on threads of mine were not called for at all...so imo he's a bit of a cock. But whatever..

weighed 87 pounds in 9th grade
i remember wandering into the weight room and pressig the bar with a 2 1/2 on each side.

KentDog · 12-13-2005, 02:09 PM

In 7th grade, I think I was benching 75 pounds for reps on the Smith machine. Somewhere down the line in 8th grade, I got myself a bench and was doing sets at 80 pounds freeweight.

85 pounds, 11 years old.

Andy_Massaro · 12-13-2005, 04:27 PM

i was in like 9th grade or something i did like 60 for like 5 reps hahaha

im in 10th grade now and can max out at like 100, not much of an improvement but still, im trying

fletcher6490 · 12-13-2005, 06:51 PM

I was 15, weighed around 115 and put up 135 for about 6 reps. around 3 months later I was maxing out at 185, then I quit. I did that same routine of working out for 3 months, maxing out at 185 and quiting for 8 months untill around 2 years ago when I worked out for like 5 months and maxed out at 205, where once again I quit. Now I have maintaned lifting for about 10 months and hope to continue for a long time.

5kg dumbells 12 reps 3 sets suck on that

MACCA · 12-14-2005, 12:42 AM

I benched for the first time about four/five months ago and struggled with 100lbs now i can bench 200lbs its been my biggest achievement up the gym so far.

BulkBoy · 12-14-2005, 11:28 PM

5 sets of 5 with 95 lbs. - dont remember before that

BulkBoy · 12-14-2005, 11:36 PM

there is a 16 year old that goes to the same gym as me that can barely get up 95 lbs. once, judging by looks he weighs somewhere around 215-235
