blindasutsutsu Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 At the start of the challenge I set my goal bench weight to be 165lbs for 5x5 sets. I went at lunch today and got there!! Next on the list is 225...might take a little while though :-). Reach your limits and then surpass them.BlindasutsutsuMy Current Challenge:Class: RangerRace: HumanSTR:13.5 DEX:8.5 STA: 10.5 CON:6 WIS:5 CHA:6.5 Link to comment

rtalencar Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Congratz! How did 165 for 5 feel?For me personally, getting from 135 to 185 was a lot harder than 185 to 225 (don't get me started on the crap that is the 225 to 315 trek), so if you're anything like me, you're almost through the hard part!

blindasutsutsu Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Congratz!

I think 225 is definitely a good target prior to me leaving for Germany September 21st so that is going to be the goal. I felt like I had plateaued a bit at 155 for a while and got past it. I am hoping that it will be excelerated up to 225. :-) Reach your limits and then surpass them.BlindasutsutsuMy Current Challenge:Class: RangerRace: HumanSTR:13.5 DEX:8.5 STA: 10.5 CON:6 WIS:5 CHA:6.5 Link to comment
