This morning I weighed 242.

My weight lifting schedule is a two way split. Day one is presses and squats. Day two is pulls and calves. I do crunches every day I lift. I lift weights three days a week. So every two weeks I lift six times, three rotations of the two workouts. Today was a press/squat day. The recording format is as follows [weight] X [reps].

Bench Press

185 X 8
205 X 6
225 X 5
225 X 4

Skull Crushers

95 X 8
115 X 5
115 X 5

Squats

185 X 8
225 X 6
245 X 4
245 X 4

Dumbbell Overhead Press

45 X 8
60 X 2

Most of the time I stop just short of complete muscle failure. I usually start out with fewer sets and reps and then increases as my body adapts. I also increase the intensity by moving closer to absolute failure.

More to come.
