Hey, I'm only 5-10 myself, brah. But it's like the bitches say, every inch counts! :D Or at least that's something this mofo hears a lot! LOL

LOL[/QUOTE]LMAO... every inch counts indeed. I've set a mental limit of 200 lbs for myself. I play basketball quite a bit, so staying semi-lean is important to me. At my heaviest, I was 208 but I wasn't lifting (or doing much of anything) at the time and was quite sloppy because of it.

Nice man, I'd played basketball in high school, but right around 200 pounds. I still run now as part of my workout, but no hoops. Lost a lot of coordination gaining so much mass. That whole starting/stopping/jumping thing wouldn't work for me now. Even though my conditioning is still good from my running.
[QUOTE=ajdahlheimer;1302039481]Had a kick-ass workout yesterday. An old co-worker of mine came over and lifted with me. Young big strong kid (23 years old, 6-6 255). By the time we got to the dips and push-ups portion of my workout, he couldn't do a single rep. Totally spent (and he was doing significantly less weight than me). LOL. Man-up youngin'!

Hey thanks, brah. I guess one really doesn't realize how intense a routine is when you normally lift alone by yourself. This kid said nobody in his entire gym could hang with that chest day doing all the reps in that amount of time. He showed me a couple different exercises I am going to have to incorporate in there too.

Actually it's those 40x10 dumbbell front raises that are the absolute death of me. But I think it is partially due to being pretty gassed by that time of my workout.
I actually go all the way up over my head with them, so slightly higher than this diagram.

Ya those are fn killers, especially if you are taking them up that high. Haven't done them in a long time, probably for that very reason! Lol

Yeah on top of them ALREADY being killers, I got a flu shot yesterday directly in one of my delts, which always tends to bruise the muscle.
