There's something so basic and satisfying about picking up something really heavy.
It seems (from my reading) that once you reach weights like yours, progression gets much harder. There's lots of tricky assistance work you need to figure out, you need to eat like a friggin animal, and you need to work just hard enough to not overtrain.
In other words, good luck!
- matwood 15y agoThanks! Yeah, if I could keep my eating right I could probably get there. I am much stronger with my weight over 200lbs, but life has been so busy I'm down around a lean 185-190 right now. For me finding time for the gym has been the easy part. Figuring out how to eat enough through the day has always been the problem. And yeah, progression slows and waivers depending on current bodyweight, current emotional state, time of day, etc... It can take months to add another 5lbs onto the bar.
- llimllib 15y agoIf you haven't been, /r/weightroom has a bunch of guys that are lifting in your ballpark or greater, and might be a useful resource. It's much more useful for lifters than /r/fitness is. http://www.reddit.com/r/weightroom http://www.reddit.com/r/weightroom
