So I am 182 pounds currently, and slowly but surely, sweating and eating my way to over 200 pounds. this thread will serve well in keeping me honest about my lifting career. so these are my stats

Bench 225 x 3
Squat 180 x 8
Dead 190 x 6

I know what you are thinking, and the answer is NO! I never did train legs, however I am on the path to recovery. I work off a 3 day split

Day 1 chest/ tris/ shoulders
Day 2 bis/ back/ legs
Day 3 Abs

I smash myself through this routine twice a week, as an introductory just to bring my Legs and Back to the party with Beach Muscles if you will. This routine will last only 7 more weeks before I change my program to be more of an animal program.

Peace
