How much can you......

Post by Cipher »

Bicep curl? Max weight 10 reps 3 sets, it equals a total of 30 curls.

Okay a useless post but I am bored and just wonder what people will say.

Heck while your at it how much can you bench press 5 reps 3 sets. And how much 1 rep 1 set, maximum power lift?

I've been curling 55 lbs. per arm 10 reps 3 sets.

After while I switch to high reps and low sets to help work muscles in a different way than normal. Somes I try highest weight and only a few reps.

I can bench press 200lbs at most. Its been a while since i last went to the gym, but im doing regular exercise at home. Mostly biceps and lower abdominal. Im pretty strong as i am, so i dont really feel like going to the gym on a regular basis.

Remember it doesn't matter how much you can bench, but the reps you do.

I personally can bench a barbell of ABOUT 280 - 300lbs (Its tough to get it 300 up there, but I manage to do it atleast once to impress my friends) but I prefer to do reps of 250 seeing as how I can do more and get a much better workout. Also If you wanna get a really good workout, put the barbell over your shoulders and do squats, the one I do is I crouch as low as I possibly can and hold it there for 4 seconds, and then come up. I do that about 40 times and it helps pretty much all of your body.

To gain muscle all you need to do is take in a lot of calories/protien, lift the weights, then rest for a full day.

Being a computer user, this fits right into my schedual :)

I'm not as big as some of you guys though in the muscle department. I bench like 150-160, but I'm a 175, 6'0 guy. My main exercise is just cardiovascular stuff to stay in shape and look healthy. I'm 20.

A fast way to gain muscle is to bench your max, then take off 10 or so pounds, bench that a few times, then take off another.. etc.. Do this until you can barely lift the bar alone. Your muscles will be shredded, then try not to do too much for the next 24-48 hours. Eat lots of protien and take in more calories then you burn off. When I was a softmore in Highschool I weighed 130 and used this method to get to 155 in only one summer. Well, that's just what I use to do anyway, now I just jog and do push-ups.

Hehe, don't sweat it, I still get asked if I'm over 15 when going to Gun Shows and I'm 20.

Well I think the average dac user is a 17/25 year old white european male, has a shitty job in catering, an IQ of 140, strength of 5 gorillas and listens to rock or metal. They have short hair, no facial hair, 140lbs, 5'8, have used guns and live with there parents.

Or something? Mabye instead of about 10 topics with seperate things asking about ourselves, we good OMG START ONE 1!!!!1111

I used to lift all the time, but after a few years of physical labor jobs with heavy lifting, it's the last thing I want to do when I'm home. I can probably do about 40, maybe 50 pounds without killing myself.
