    Re: What Sort Of weight Do you Use?

    Female P:

    (Weights each side of bar)

    Warmup: 5K

    Squats: 20 to 21.25K

    Chest: 12.5k

    Back: 7.5 to 8.75K

    Triceps: 8.75K (10K freeweight for overheads; 6K freeweight for kickbacks)

    Biceps: 7.5 to 8.75K

    Lunges: 18.75K (5K freeweight in each hand for dynamics)

    Shoulders: 5 to 6.25K (5K freeweights in each hand for non-bar)

    Crunches: 5 K freeweight.

     

    I have an old back injury from before pump which explains why my back weight doesn't fit the normal pattern, and also means I agree like crazy with those talking about technique.  For comparison, here are my first pump weights from 2005; bear in mind at the time I couldn't lift anythign above shoulder height!

    Warmup: 2.5k

    Squats, lunges: 5K freeweight across chest

    Back: 3.5K; no clean&press - upright row only

    Chest, triceps, biceps: 2.5K

    Shoulders: 1 to 2.5K or just none at all.
