Hi all,
So I have been bulking since about July. It's kinda hard for me to gauge my own progress, and whether it was very good or just kinda so-so. My weight went from about 200 to almost 230 right now. I am still wearing 34 waist pants, but it's getting tight. Hahah. I look at myself in the mirror and don't even feel like I look bigger...just fatter...****!
Okay so I just kinda want to put up my numbers on a bunch of lifts, and have some people give their input on whether it seems like it went well or not so well. I am happy with what I accomplished, but I feel like for gaining 30 freakin pounds, it should have been better.
I'll list the lift, and the 2 numbers will be what I was doing in July, and what I am able to do now...and it's for a 5 rep set.
Squats - 155, 215
Incline DB Press - 120, 150
Bent Over Rows - 115, 145
OH BB Press - 100, 125
Facepulls - 80, 120
Flat BB Bench - 145, 185
Seated Row - 110, 170
Renegade Row - 60s, 70s
Those are just some examples. I didn't list deadlifts, because I kinda stopped doing them heavy and would just do 8-10 rep sets, so I don't know where I'm at. Pullups, I used to do sets of 5 with 40 pounds of assistance, and now I am able to do 8 on my first set...I'm proud of that!
Any thoughts on how it went?
