As I stated in another thread, I have started weightlifting. I really like it so far.
I can bench press 120 pounds. I start out benching 60 pounds 20 times, then 80 pounds 10 times, then 120 pounds five times. That is the way my trainer makes me do all lifts: 20-10-5
I don't know what you call it, but you set the barbells on the floor, lean over and pick it up, then lift it over the head, then back down, and then up again 5 times. I can do 80 pounds with that.
I also do a thing where you bend over at the waist with barbells in each hand, and lift them as high as I can towards my back. I can do 20 pounds with that.
I also put barbells in each hand, while standing straight up, and lift them from my side, with arms straight, until the arms are horizontal. That is soooo hard to do. I do 15 pounds in each 5 times.
I also do (at home) upside-down situps with 10 pounds of weight. I can do a ton of those.
I am not doing any leg strengthening weightlifting as I don't want big thighs, but I run usually three times per week. My legs are strong enough.
I know my weightlifting doesn't compare to the guys, but I am little and am doing the best I can do. I think it is pretty good for being my age.
I would like to hear what other people can do.
