I put up the 70 lb. dumbbells for 9 reps on the flat bench press today! I had previously been doing incline presses, which are more difficult; as such, one typically can’t lift as much on the incline as on the flat bench. I had a little difficulty lifting them into position (my forearm strength is comparatively weak) but once I locked them into position, they went up nicely.
The 75s are next!!!
Steve, It’s Adriano..I Need Some Ideas For Weight Loss…Right Now I Weight In Between 185 – 195..I Gain And Lose Weight Really Fast. I Need To Get To 170 And Be Lean For My First Mixed Martial Arts Fight, Which Wont Be For A While, But It Would Be Nice To Weigh 170 Anyway. Im About 5’10 – 5’11. Any Ideas?
Hey Steve,
this is one of your coworkers from your IT years. I was browsing fitness sites and couldn’t believe my eyes, when came across your site and read about your new career.
I have to say I am very impressed by what I read about you.
I never worked out before and didn’t really think I needed to. But after having 2 kids things shifted in my body. I now workout with a personal trainer (who is extremely tough) and helped me to get back in even better shape then I was in before I had children. Now I am so into fitness that I never thought I would be.
Anyway, enough about me
. I just got very excited when I saw your site and read about you, that decided to leave a comment on your blog.
Hope all is well. Congratulations on all of your success!!!
Steve,

Hope all is well with you and yours..
Happy Holidays & Happy New Year..
