Comparing Others to You............
i normally would have said it bad thing to do but i have been rethinking my position...........i always heard to not compare what someone looks like or how much they are lifting to you and what you're doing but i think it can be a good motivational tool. i remember how bad i felt when i was talking to this female trainer and she told me she could bench two plates. i was only at 190. so i stayed on it until i got to two plates. after that i saw a guy who was benching 300 so that became my new goal. then a classmate told me he was doing 350.....and so on. i guess the key to keeping with the weights is your motivation for lifting......my motivation is trying to become as strong as the next guy on the strength ladder..........

Glad you've seen such improvements, I no longer do that because i'll be crushed haha - I takes a fair while for improvement with me, but atleast it still happens in the end

I tend to just look for continued improvement and keep an eye on form - as long as I dont level out for too long I dont worry
I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?
