I'm still recovering from shoulder problems from the beginning of the year, and the layoff pretty much killed what little strength I had. I'm starting to see some gains again, but I'm still overall pretty weak. 315 on the deadlift, 185 on the squat, and 135 on incline barbell are where I'm pretty much stuck for the time being. It doesn't help that I've been sick a lot and that I'm in the process of moving halfway across the country, but I'm patient. I'm starting to get my diet back on track and up to about 3,500-4,000 calories a day, so hopefully I'll see some improvement from that.

After being off 5 years, 8wks ago started a cycle. Very low,1 shot of test 250 every 4 days & 1 A-50 mon thru fri. Needless to say , strength is shooting thru the roof, God I missed being big!! Well , big for me anyway, not so big to others, but I'm happy.

@goudy..
good lift... not many guys do chins... simply because they are hard.... but i find them to be one of the most effective back excercises....

Capt._America · « **Reply #17 on:** December 28, 2005, 05:17:48 AM »

You guys may think this is bullshit, but started NO-Explode about 3 months ago and all my weights have gone up, incline 375 for 6, sguatting 500 for 7, shoulder press 355 for 6, 150lb dumbells on flat bench for 8, and feel great after workouts, bi's and tri's have gone up too.

KEEP IT REAL..................LI FT HEAVY!

I finally hit a break through instead of squating the 45 pound bar i added 5 pounds to the bar and did it for 8 reps. i was feeling good about it untill i saw this 16 year old girl squating 135 lbs i was so embrarassed i ran out of the gym screaming and crying.

agreed for anyone under 250 lbs, but how many chins could a 300+ pound man like Coleman do? And he has once of the best backs in history.
