Mine's a result of starting football again, 5-a-side AND full games aswell as hitting my legs three times a week in the gym. I need to tell myself sometimes that I'm not 18 anymore!
I did 180Kg deadlift 2nd week of incorporating the exercise into my routine. I got 2 reps first set and 1 and a half reps next set. I did a few reps of 1 plate to warm up and then 140Kg for 6 reps.
I cant really call it a goal cause its only been a week since I started the exercise and I thought "I can do more weight on this".
Got to thank the spaz who chucked a drink bottle at me from a car while I was walking to the gym cause the thought of that made me angry and explosive when I was preparing to lift!

Got my diet sorted out today from James over on MT. So when i am finally able to get back in the gym properly, i have everything there to start growing again. I'm sure i'm shrinking by the day 
Some impressive lifts in this thread.
I've just moved gyms (last 2 weeks) and now have access to free weights - after 9 months of using the machines.
Wow, this is different
First day after doing squats I could barely walk!
Anyway, hoping to improve on these over the next year.
Bench 10 x 50kg
Squat 8 x 70kg
Bodyweight currently at 73kg (bulking!!). 5'11".
Did I say I loved squats?

I guess you've not watched the World championships of bodybuilding, there are pentioners competing. Also an uncle of mine has arms like arnold schwarzenegger at 65 (when I saw him 2 years ago), and I don't think there were any gyms in Ireland in his day. I wouldnt think everyone peaks at 18 either judging by when I was 14 or so some class mates had full beards and Im like wtf?Linoge said:

The younger you are the more you get away with generally. Most noticeable thing imho is it's easier to keep bodyfat levels down. It think once you hit 35+ then it becomes harder and harder to build muscle for numerous reasons.
