wildross Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 About 4 or 5 years ago, when I first started getting serious about working out regularly, I told the trainer I wanted to bench 315#. He rolled his eyes at me. I have not tried for a 1 rep max, but 300 x 3 reps was pretty easy this morning. I'm positive I can do the 315# once. And it feels great! Wish I remembered his name so I could send him a video... Now I'm aiming for 350#... Quote Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

Guest guest4729 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Niiiceeee and congrats man! You should totally hunt that guy down and send him a video. I totally would. If you're going to try and tell me that I can't do something that I KNOW I can do in the future, I want to prove you wrong. Right now people laugh when I say I can't do one pull up, but who will be laughing when I'll eventually be able to do more than they can? >:3 Quote Link to comment
