took me forever to get up to 215 for my max.. now i'm back at like 60 pounds due not going for a few months
I heard that. A few months ago I was doing 3 sets of 5 with 175 lbs. I just started lifting again about a month ago and could barely do 135. I am doing 155 pretty easily now though and can do sets with 165
