Figured I would throw in here.
Since the beginning of the year I have been getting back into weight lifting at the gym. Been going 3 times a week consistently. I try to do squats and bench presses (or some variation of that) every time I go and then mix in a handful of other lifts (leg press, tricep work, curls, core stuff, pull downs, rows, etc.) and I have started deadlifts too.
My probably unachievable goal is the 1000 lb club (1000 combined squat, deadlift, and bench). I haven't tried any PRs yet but I have hit 205 on the squat with 5 reps, 135 on bench with 5 reps, and 215 deadlift with 5 reps. If I just did one rep I could probably hit 600 combined. 1000 pounds will be a pretty big stretch and not sure how long it will take to get there but it will be a pretty big milestone to hit. When I first started in January 135 lb squats were brutal and my bench was only 95 lbs so there has been some decent progress so far. Not sure if I can hit 800 by mid-summer but that is what I am shooting for.
And golf season is starting so I will get a lot of walking in there. I have tried using the cardio machines and have tried running in the past but I get bored with that really quick. But I could walk 10 miles on the golf course and still want to do more.
