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.


always tought 15 reps low weight was to gain muscle endurance

when i lift i sometime go until failure specialy on last set


sometimes i wanna reach 10 but i get to like 8

Don't remember my first three months. I lifted stupid anyways.

One thing I learned over time is: it's easier to gain muscle than you think. Also real easy to lose muscle. Don't get stupid in the process. Also, numbers mean less the more you lift, if aesthetics and health is your goal. If pushing for pr's is your thing, then that's your thing, but it's one common beginner mistake to fall into.

is this after 3 months of training or longer


:rofl: not sure how I completely disregarded the topic..

I was probably around the same weight as starting.. I spent so long just figuring out form.. I might have added probably 100 lbs to my squat shortly after figuring out my technique..

I had no idea what I was doing when I first went. Brought a friend with me that didn't know much either. Looked up some random exercises, tried em, was like ok lets do em.

When I first started I struggled on the bench badly. Like I would have 25's on each end and have a difficult time getting to 10 reps.
The thing I noticed most though from then and now. Before I was only using machines for the most part. Now I haven't used a machine in a while.
I must say I am glad I didn't give up since I didn't really have a clue what I was doing.
