A fleeting childhood
Some old head bought 135,140, and 145lb DBs to the gym. The most I ever did was 100. I didn’t realize It’s a work out just to get set up. :sadcam: Hit 135x6,135x5,140x2 and I was gassed.
At least you got em up (pause)

I went to lay back for db press and the groove in the adjustable bench threw off my balance so I ended up dumping the 85s :scust:

I pretended I was slightly injured then a minute later hit em for a set of 3 in case someone saw me fail earlier

Getting the 1st rep up is the hardest part:dame:

What steps can a breh take to minimize the loss of strength when losing weight?

Mostly fluctuated between 195 lbs and 210 lbs but want to get back to my college freshman weight of 165 lbs.

I took two weeks off and i feel ( i am) smaller

U prolly are. :ufdup:


Two weeks is definitely enough time to not only detrain but for your muscles to start to atrophy. If you were eating less and/or getting less protein in, your muscles may have began to catabolize in order to hit your amino needs.

If you were on breatine (read: creatine) and stopped for the two weeks, that might be part of it too.
