been out of the gym for a year. used kung flu as an excuse.
Got a heavy duty squat rack for free and just bought an olympic bar with 2,35 lbs plates and 2, 10 lb plates.
I was doing reps with 225 15 months ago and was pleasantly surprised how easy 135 was.
I bought an adjustable bench and am about to do my first sets on incline w/ 135. I did 10 x 7 sets flat the other day and wasnt even sore.
I work weekends and take a 30 lb dumbell with me. I curled it 400x friday 2 weeks ago, and 200x last friday, 250x saturday.
been doing that all along. I think it helped preserve some strength.
I may have to get some more plates. I was gonna do 135 x 10 x 10 but may have to kick it up a notch. What do you think? Is 100 reps counter productive?

Btw I do 15 reps per arm per set with the 30lb.

How do we know you didn't just do curls with one arm, Popeye-style?
