Just got done with my sets. Started lifting again last week, but decided to bulk up instead and just run to trim fat. Here's what I did for bench press:

8x 180lbs
8x 200lbs
8x180lbs

my buddy at work, who lifts, says he uses this method, does the whole pyramid thing with the weights, anyone else do it? I'm going to try it out and see if I get better results than I have when I used to lift. :wiggle:

I'm hoping to bump up to:

8x 200lbs
8x 220lbs
8x 200lbs

by the end of this month. I'm doing the pyramid thing for curls too, but am using: 130lbs;140lbs;130lbs h:

if you try to bulk up youll look weird
muscles wont become defined
ive seen it happen to my friend

Derek

nah dude, I used to bulk up before too. I actually do slim down a lot when I bulk up. I honestly don't want to be defined, I like having some softness to meh h:

If you were slimming down, you weren't bulking up :rich:

You were cutting.

i know this is the wrong method, but this guy i know told me to lift until i cant take it no more. basicaly do all my body (curls,bech press etc)in 45 minutes with out counting or resting. he does this and the guy is cut like fawk. So i started this routing this week and so far my shit look way better than 3 week ago. i drink plenty of water and tuna....

i do it like this:

set 1-10 = startweight
set 2-10 = startweight plus
set 3-10 = startweight plus plus
set 4 = startweight until you cant do anymore

hehe, I don't eat fish h:

I used to lift like that, which did get me big pretty quick, but that was during my HS years and a little after. Now, I can't really do that cuz my shoulder get sore due to a small hairline crack in my collar bone, so I have to take it easy. Funny thing, I can lift a lot of weight and it won't get sore, but if I do more reps at a lighter, yet still heavy weight, it'll be sore as a mofo the next day. :doh:

I'm hoping to one day rival jaymar88 in bulkness :rick:
