**S.A.bulldog** · 03-08-2002, 06:12 PM

hey, I know most of you don;t give two ****s and half of you prob warm up with this weight...but **** it feels good..I have been lifting for just about 4 months...

I'm 15 years old
180lbs
6'1
just put up 225 on bench tday for two and I don;t think i have ever been a happier bodybuilder, I really now feel all my hard work has paid off and I am finaly getting somewhere..my goal was to reach 225 by the end of 9th grade but **** I jsut shattered that goal, and my new goal is 260 by the end of 9th grade, and hopefully around 360-400lbs bfore I leave highschool...

peace

**user87745477315471972481** · 03-10-2002, 03:00 PM

congrats...

but I thought you meant that you now weigh 225..

**BigGunns** · 03-10-2002, 05:09 PM

I hope you're not one of those people that start with a 45 on each side, then add 25's then take the 25's off and add 35's then take the 35's off and put on another 45. I see so many idiots doing that. What a waste of energy. Big egos I guess. Trying to look big and strong. It's funny. So much easier to just keep adding 10 lbs plates.

**Dravyck** · 03-10-2002, 05:45 PM

Im 16, 163 lbs got 225 a month ago

**MightyMouse** · 03-10-2002, 06:07 PM

Feels great don't it. I remember when I did 260 over the summer I felt great. Especially since I got up and I only weighed 138 lbs. It was a great feeling knowing that I could push that much weight and no one could call me a lier no more...hehe

what the hell is wrong with doing that?

**Seanner** · 03-10-2002, 06:26 PM

bump on cramron - half of the reason people bodybuild is to look better, especially to help their ego... what's the harm with putting on the 2 45's on each side to increase your feeling of accomplishment?

basically, bigguns, you're just trying to make yourself look better by downplaying what everyone else does...

**BigPumpsta** · 03-10-2002, 07:17 PM

i got 225 about 3 weeks ago, damn, it was a good feeling. the good thing is is that i'm 15, 5'5 and 117 lbs., so i guess it's pretty good, but i've been lifting for about 3 years.

**hopper** · 03-10-2002, 08:42 PM

yeah all the shorter guys have an advantge over tall guys.....i mean i am 6'4 and i don even knbow my bench cuz i do differnt exercies for chest all the time...and when i bench its usally in like reps of 10..........but i know that guys who are like5 feet tall can bench so much more cuz their arms are short....but i dont really care as long as i get a good chest workout after all its BB not powerlifting.....i am sure in 5 years when i am like 260 of pure muscle i will be able to put up like 350-400,......and even then i wont care i just want an awesome physique and quite frankly as long as i get a chest anywhere near as good as say Arnold's i dont give a **** if i max out at just the olympic bar

but congrats on your 225 bro

no man for my regular workout..I start at 165 for 8 reps, then I ad on 10lbs for 6, then another 10lbs for 4, then another 10lbs for 4, then another 10lbs for 2..then thats my workout...

but on that particular day i wanted to max out considering I hadn;t in awhile so I started off with 115, then put on 135, then 185, then 225......

umm no, basically not. Taking the plates off and putting bigger ones on is a total waste of energy and time. That's it. If that's what you want to do then go ahead . Not the smartest way to go about it in my opinion. As far as "trying to make myself look better" is concerned, explain to me how. I'm not talking about myself and my best lifts. I'm expressing my opinions on wasting time and energy loading and unloading plates.

david drake- dude, i used to live in huntsville, went to Randolph acadamy in 5th grade. Know the place?

**Chris16** · 03-13-2002, 10:19 AM

i have never put up 225 freeweight
but very close.im 16 and at this precise moment 189lbs

**Seanner** · 03-13-2002, 05:51 PM

Bigguns this is unbelievable. You're saying "waste all that time and energy". LOL. ALL THAT TIME, huh. 20 seconds? It makes you less bored in between sets. And yes those 45 pounders are almost to heavy to lift so it is a big waste of energy. As if benching 4 of them is much easier. If someone wants to switch plates... DONT WORRY ABOUT IT

**Alton** · 03-13-2002, 06:00 PM

I remember when I did 225, but the best moment of my lifting so far was getting 315x3!!! And getting 300 in a contest when I was 16. Those were great moments. The contest was in Charlotte in March of last year and I was in the 181 class (actual weight 178). 315x3 I have a pic of on teenbb.com

. The gains don't come so quick anymore though, not like when I first started and went up constantly. But I got my eyes on 405 though!

**B1gReDheAd** · 03-13-2002, 07:01 PM

hey bulldog congrats on the achievement of benching 225. I can do 225 once i know for sure but when i went for the 2nd rep my spotter started lifting it up before i started to struggle so i dunno hehe. do you warmup by adding 10 pounds on each side when you max? all i did was 135 a few times, then added 25s and did that once, then straight to the 2 45 pound plates. Which way is best, because I've heard some mixed reviews on this.

**S.A.bulldog** · 03-13-2002, 07:14 PM

hahah redhead I have never heard of doing it that way..I normally warm up with 115 for about 6..on this particular day I wanted to max out so I started with 115 for 6 then I jumped to 135 for 6 then 185 for 3 and I was feeling real good and my original max was 115 so i thought what the hell and I put on 225..O **** when I got that up I was amazed I tried again but it jsut stopped dead and wasn;t moving..haha so I struggled for a a couple of seconds trying to get one more but my spotter took it away..haha when i was done I was really couldn;t believe it, **** I must have checked over the weight three times bfore I realized I had done 225...

It was a great feeling...

but Uhh ya on my regular day of workout I warm up with 115 for around 6, then i put on 165 and do that 8 times, then I add on 10lbs and do it 6 reps continue this all the way down to 205 for 2..I don;t always complete it cause some days are better than other but I try and it seems to be working..and then every 2nd week i like to try and go up 10lbs from where I originally started..so in two weeks I'll start with 175 for 8 and go down from there...

hope I made it clear and congrats on your 225..good luck for the future

UM, no offense, but you posted that you could bench 150 under the pics forum.... http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...threadid=19121

Not bashing you, but there's something wrong here. More power to ya if you can. That's quite a feat to put up 225 if you're 15 and 117 lbs.

LYING FRUIT!

why do people lie? I don't get it? To look good? They're only letting themselves down.
