I lift also. It's part of a bigger fitness routine that I've been doing for a few years. I get up in the morning before work (Monday-Friday) and do cardio/aerobic workout on a Nordic Track cross-country ski machine. Also, in the evenings 3-4 times a week, I do weights and a CrossBow machine for strength training. I'm no muscle man like you see in competitions, but I'm in pretty good shape. The cool part is my 12 year old son is starting to work out with me.

I've been a speratic lifter. Played football in highschool. But through college upto a year ago, I had never lifted regularly for more than a month at a time, except when I graduated in 03 and lost 54lbs between june and 0ctober. (still got a long way to go). Last spring me and 4 buddies started up again when one of my friends bought a setup for his basement. 2 of us were trying to tone up and loose wait and three of them were strying to put it on. It was great for me because My bench went from a struggling 225 to 295 in a few months. I guess most of that was relearning technic, but my friends and I got so much stronger together. My friend and I got caught up in the competition of everyone else and instead of doing high reps of what the skinny guys were doing, we began pushing each other(well realy him pushing me). We never did max him out because our weight set only had 300lbs, but I did watch him do 300 17 times. He's a bit advanced, he was actually a basketball player in highschool if you can beleive that, Anyway we fell off after a while but hope to get started again in the next couple weeks, probably from scratch again because everyone has gained/loss weight.
I found that the best results come through competition with a lifting partner. I guess that's the moral of the long a$$ story.
Anybody else got bench/Squat/etc. numbers?

I weight train. Started getting physical after I enlisted in the US Army. So you probably guessed I started with calesthenics.
I am out of the army now. I still do my share of running followed by about 2 hours of Low weight High rep lifting and streching. I'm no Mr. Olympia Hopeful, But I am attempting to keep physically active.
