In my last post I described a 14-week strength program that I’ve been going through that increases your weight in bench, squat and deadlift and I have officially finished! I began weighing 110 pounds at 5’5″ and I ended weighing 118 pounds! My one rep max for bench was 75 pounds and I ended at 85 pounds, squat was 145 and I ended at 155, and deadlift was 155 and I ended at 175! Each cycle was 9 days, 8 days of exercise and 1 rest day, and consisted of one day dedicated to each major exercise (bench, squat, and deadlift) and then one day for each muscle group (chest, back, legs, shoulders, and arms). For those of you just getting started, remember that failing and repeating an exercise is very common so don’t get discouraged! Because it was my first time, I had to repeat my last two bench days. Since I weigh so little, I was very proud of my results even if the numbers don’t seem impressive. If you are interested in this program and would like more details then comment below or shoot me an email at brainsngainswebsite@gmail.com and I can hook you up!
