Don't listen to the dick above. Not enough info but you could be on track. Be careful not to overtrain. Or are you worried about the Rhabdo from a set of 7? OP: We might be able to throw out some more constructive feedback if we knew a little more, like what's your training like, heigh/weight/age, how long did it take you to reach this? |

The average persons CNS can take a set or two of flat bench, but add in those dumbbells and you're really pushing your luck. Or are you worried about the Rhabdo from a set of 7?

Lol oh how I love this site
Ok a quick overview. I've not been in the gym for well over 3 years. The last 2 I've been recovering from multiple ACL surgeries. Kind of been a sloth. I've been lifting now for about 8 weeks. 6' working my fat ass down from almost 400lbs(lost 75lb so far). The 7 reps probably seems odd. I'm getting to a point of feeling comfortable pushing myself so I'm still trying to find my limits if that makes sense. |

Not thinking Rhabdo. I'm thinking he might try to work chest every day to make his goal by Aug, which could be counterproductive. ![]() Failed To Load Title Know what his program was? Real simple Squat EVERYDAY. To a max. And then do some back off sets The overtraining thing was a hot topic for awhile, but I think people are realizing that it's either bullshit or really doesn't apply to them. If you want to get good at something you have to do it, a lot. |
