[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 5484500, member: 591579"] Yup. I normally curl 55 lb dumbells, can do shoulder presses with 80s. Best bench is 250, best squat is 330 for 6-8. best deadlift is 380 for 2 or 3. I go on a pretty laid back schedule and am not in the gym every day like some guys but when I'm there I'm pretty intense. Been lifting since I was 11, with some extended time off here and there. Never been into becoming grotesquely huge or insanely strong. Just good enough that if I have to put my hands on someone I can make it hurt, I also alternate with cardio and stretching. The stretching is a HUGE part of my routine. I think it's the main reason I've run and lifted for so long without so much as a muscle strain. 10 minutes before a workout, 20-30 minutes of stretching after. My problem is I could be alot bigger but I don't have the time or the energy to eat as much it would take to pack on muscle faster and Ive never liked the idea of supplements or protein shakes. If Im too lazy to get in the car, drive to the gym and load a barbell I'll alternate, about 70-90 pushups, then 60 or so situps, then keep doing smaller sets of pushups till I can't anymore. Usually get to 120-130 total. [/QUOTE]
