Your last year of lifting

blightning · 01-20-2008, 06:53 PM

I was just curious to see how much progress everyone has made in the last year as far as muscle gain. Not necessarily guys that just started up and put on the initial gains, but those of you that have been working out for some time. I have been busting my a$$ and spending way too much money on protein and crap and managed to put on 12lbs of muscle. This seems kinda low to me, just wanted to know how others were doing. Oh I dident specify, this goes for guys that dident use gear of any kind.

I've made decent progress. Nothing I'm disappointed about. A injury was a major setback towards the end, but I'm back on track now.

Steady as she goes.

Last year, when we had our first max day in weight-lifting, I got 160 pounds on the bench-press, which isnt bad for a freshmen in high-school. Now, my current bench max is 275. Its went up like 100 pounds since last year. haha.

went from 85 LBS bench to todays 170. Squat went from 90 to 225, deads went from 105 to 255.

My 8RM for Squats went from about 185 to 265

I was talking about increase in muscle weight over the last year, not how much your bench went up.

Man good job, if you have been lifting for awhile 12 pounds of lean muscle in one year is good results.

well in the last 4 or 5 months i went from 175 to 198, and my bench went from 185 to 245, but then i got sick and semi depressed, and stopd training and eating... went down to 165

, but now ive started training like 3 weeks ago and im back to 175, and my bench is at 215

I added about 12lbs as well. Not a whole lot considering it was over a year, but it's still better than a dreamer bulk. Plus I'm leaner than I was this time last year.

I thought within a year I would be jacked as hell 200+, 8% bf, but I was pretty naive to think that, haha.

started working out january 1st 2007...weighed 150, benched 85 lbs.
as of now, weigh 174, and bench 220.
squat from 100ish to 315 now.
worked out 5 days a week

blightning · 01-22-2008, 03:52 AM

nice gains there. Looking at it closer, 12lbs a year every year would start to add up eventually. Just seems kinda low in comparison to threads I read about adding that much muscle in a month with just some havoc or something.

hjayss · 01-22-2008, 04:54 AM

07 was a big year for me..I learned how to eat to get some growth outa this old body...My deads have gone up 60 pounds...squats 120 pounds...leg press alomst 300 pounds ...bench press thirty pounds...curls....kinda the same not a lot I had forearm issues...and my weight was up and down because I was on a cut on the beginning of he year and the last 5 months or so I put on 32 pounds of mass...I hope I can repeat those gains in 08...
