i was wondering what was everyones 1st experience like

whats the weight you 1st started with and what was the weight you could handle 3 months later


i started at like 25 pounds for dumbell curls 30 for shoulder press 40 on incline dumbell press

180 lbs for leg press


now after 3 months and 15 days i'm at 35 pounds on dumbell curls 45 pounds on shoulder press and 60 dumbell press


450 lbs on leg press


pretty awsome in my opinion i love lifting i'm addicted

Started with SS

95lb squat
45lb bench
135 dead

The squats didn't even feel heavy but my legs were so fukked the next 5 days

95 squats
95 bench
135 dl

I'm at

335 squat 3x5
165 bench 3x5
365 dl 3x5

is this after 3 months of training or longer

95 bench
95 squat
Wtf were DLs

205 Bench
225 Legs
315 DL

Great progress man, especially on the legs.

what about the arms not good ?


i'm trying to improve there but pretty hard legs actually easier for me since i am a big dude and i carried alot of weight for a long time

You don't need to curl a lot of weight to have big arms, unless you just want to curl a lot of weight

tbh thats not my goal

i just wanna get a decent size arm


i'm wondering how long would it take me to get a nice looking arm biceps etc


i train each muscle group twice a week

and i do around 5 sets of each exercise 1 set being warmup 50% of working weight i do 15 reps of that



somehow i train biceps and triceps 3 times a week i feel like they recover way faster then other muscles i find legs and shoulders to recover slower



but yeah id love to be able to lift 40-45 on dumbell curls and press 85-90 dumbells cleanly for 3 sets

shoulders 60-65 pounds would be the target goal


lateral and front raises 30 pounds would be my target currently at 22.5 for lateral and 25 for front

Don't have a target weight in mind for GROWING/developing your muscles. Lighter weight and higher reps will give you mass, obviously as time goes on you can progress in weight as well.
