The last month i have really been hammering my chest, ive mainly been doing chest press (Along with other arm/chest exercises).

I began with 10kg and struggled .

Today I did 5x8reps of 22kg's

Im fooking chuffed and felt like telling someone

BUTLER

Nice one mate, i remember stuggling on tens when i first started. Getting the balance right was a nightmare. I manage to get up to 3X8 reps of 30kg. Tried 35kg each side but was to heavy for me concidering i only my body weight is a mear 55kg!!!! Shortly after pulled a hernia!!!

Guna be starting back at 15's in a month or so's time and take it all slow!

Muzz

Oops

I wanna be doing 30's in another month, not too unreliastic considering i went up 12kg this month, although i tried lifting 25's this morning just to give me an idea and 22 > 25 is a fucking big step .

Plus I havent hit a wall yet, so I have got that to come too

Well done fella, making progres is a great feeling isnt it

AndyBlackFRST

I as the same as you. The first month is the time you make the most progress. I went from 10kg's to 22.5kg's.. Then end of next month was lifting 27.5kg's.

Now I'm back I will aim for 30's though

BUTLER

Anything over 30 to me felt vertualy impossible!! At firts i remember 20s being a massive step and that they were real hard but after alot of training it all becomes easier! Thing then is your then pushing yourself more and more! I've learnt the hard way to watch how much you lift, how many reps you do and how hard you work! All i can say is stay away from to much ab work!

Well done mate, i remember the first time i lifted the heaviest dumbell in my gym, thought jesus how the hell will i ever press these out.....

But like you say it soon comes on and now a full set of 12 on the 65kgs and it hurts but is a thrill at the same time....



Stu your right it is great when you know you are getting somewhere.....

Muzz

Define "Soon"


Thats almost double what ive worked up to in 9months.
Hence the question on "Soon" LOL

I Started at a pair of 14kgs back in October last year and now do a pair of 36kgs

BUTLER

Lol, it's a bitch aint it!

If i was 6ft+ tall i'd be built like a brick shit house!

JoeE30

Soon is soon, as is Soon.....

Stu, your on 36kgs in 9 months i have been going for about 3 yrs and im on 65kgs, when you think you aint that far behind are ya...



Its one of them things you just have to keep ploding on and it will come, its good that you have got the pics to compare..........Wish i had done the same...........

I am starting to look forward to my week off lately, hope i dont lose too much of my hard work.

Don't be fooled mate! I think its harder to put on size when your lanky & skinny than when your stumpy.

I always blame it on leverage, makes the weights heaver the longer your limbs are!
