how many times is good? Would you show respect if i got it many times all the way down and all the way up pulled to chest, how much more would you respect?

8+ is good

I`ve done the 150`s for 8 kinda` sloppy reps weighing about 165.

8+ is good
i could do 8 per each arm but then where would i get the energy to repeat in say succedding sets of 5 reps? how many sets of 5 reps
im only good for one set of 8 per arm, remember im not that focused but i dont know how in the hell i could do sets of 10 reps per arm for 10 sets say for example

so after your first set of 8 reps, for your subsequent sets you cant repeat another 8 reps? even with 90sec rest?
if so, you need to work on muscle endurance

shitty excersice to measure strenght....real shitty, like standing barbelcurls for biceps, or pulldowns for lats in cablemashine...or...

i MIGHT could after 90 seconds rest but is SURELY could not complete a third at this pace,
i this situation i would be guzziling water tremendously trying to recover, but only tobecome even more hungry and probably just say fuck it after a couple minutes
i would love to do 10 sets of 8 rowing the 125 pound dumbell, in under 20-30 minutes

consider this is all i have though, besides pushups, i dont like using much weight on squats but i have no squat rack so i need to be able to safely clean the weight up

My philosophy is you need to "introduce" your body to heavier weights... instead of doing 10 sets of 10 reps with 125, save your energy, do a set of X many reps with 135.. in that case, your body gets introduced to the heavier weight, and then resume with your 125 lbs... next time around, your body can handle 135 easier... and so on, start doing 135 with more reps, and before you know you can do sets of 135
i dont believe that if you do 10 sets of 10 reps with 125, that will make you do 3 sets of 140 lbs easier.. i thinks thats BS.. try the method i mentioned

Maybe too much olive oil :D :D

No, I wouldn't. Pull it to your waist, not your chest, then at least your technique would be correct.

Type of exercise that if I see someone doing 120 for 10 could be impressive and then seeing a guy do 150 for 15 not impress cause form on this exercise is night and day

Tell me EXACTLY what you have to work with and I can get you to progress.

Get two a frame ladders.
Set up with barbell distance.
Boom, squat rack.
But cooler cause this unit is like a transformer, as you can use it to do a days work.

I currently use the 130's for 5 sets of 8-10, with 2min rest between. My form is tight on the first 2-3 sets, but on the last 2 the last couple of reps are looser and a bit sloppier. Problem is, not too many gyms have much more than a 100# DB let alone higher. :(

fuck man, if he does 5 he should aim for 10 eventually he will get 10 sets. first i have to conquer acid in my throat from to many calories than me you and that guy will contact adonis on how to progress from there on
-
for 1 set prolly 20 + thats not very hard if your fresh I would say 30 would be in range for a lot of strong people

you must eat alot of meat and have bald cranium correct? this is not insult just statistics

Because that's one particular phase of working out that I'm in. Why would you do five sets of chins or t-bars? Well, when switching workouts every 6 weeks or so like I do, you can do a lot of different things with your routine. I've also got a tricky back and last time I did t-bars I couldn't walk for 2wks. Given my gym, it's equipment and the availability of that equipment at a given time...I'm currently doing 5 sets of 1-arm rows.
Does that answer your question?

If you use lifting straps and get a big gulp of NO-Xplode then 25 in the norm

To be impressive: 25 reps.

while sipping one of the ever so famous "intra-workout dinks" at the same time with the other hand.
Because we all know that the famous anabolic window rarely remains open, except at times like this!

Damn I am so tired I thought you guys were talking about 1 arm repping 135 on bench.
I was like wtf :o is this the new secret GH15 protocol for building shoulders and pecs ;D

The correct number is four hundred and eleven.
Anything less is a ticket to twinkdom.
