bah, I did 250 for 2 today. Weakling, little gurl.
j/k
are you serious? how long did it take you to work up to that much weight?
i just really started lifting seriously again after years and I'm probably a long way from doing 250.
Yes, I am serious. I have been on and off lifting since I was 16 (now 34) but got back into it serious again last July, when I started working out to lose about 20 lbs. After I got to about 180, I decided to concentrate on increasing my weight (both physical and plate). So I concentrate on low reps heavy weight, one main body part a day, once a week. I warm up with 160, then 180, then jump to 225 and eventually rounded out with 250 at 2 this morning. 3 sets, 2 minute breaks. Jump to 3 sets incline dumbbell presses at 75 x 8, then weighted dips with a 25lb weight for 6-8 reps.
Keep at it, have a plan, and you will reach it.
