So, one day after being off work sick, I went to the gym. And maxed out many of the circuit weight machines I worked out on.
Hit 160 on the bicep machine. Note I said I did it, not that I did it well. Just lifting it halfway is an accomplishment. Lifting it the rest of the way is the challenge. Though I was wrong. Top setting is 170 lbs. Forgot about the little knobby that adds 10 more lbs. Oh, well.
Still 145 one butterfly but that may be because I had rather fatigued some of the muscles involved before doing it. I did spend more time on it than before.
Lateral obliques I did 160 lbs, which is max setting. Definitely felt it but easier than expected.
Maxed out the seated leg press at 335 (plus my own weight, so 495). Not all the way to 90 degree leg flexion but almost and that one always increases large amounts at less than full flexion.
Did less on the ski machine. After being sick, wasn't so much up for aerobic stuff.
Up to 50 lbs lower and 15 lbs upper on weighted ab crunches. Keeping a good number of reps.
Maxed out the back extension machine a couple weeks ago. Haven't been using it last couple of times but will get back to it next time.
Definitely seeing visible differences now. Can't judge entire by just after a workout but it would seem I have added at least 2" to my chest and at least 1" to each arm.
So, I guess I'm not too badly for a guy only 5'7" and 160 lbs.
