    i lift 5 days a week. 2 days are for upper body and 5 for lower body. one of those workouts is dedicated to 5*5 working around 85-100% of my maximum. The other days I do 3*12 and stick to 70-85% of my max. on days that i lift near my max, i try to keep my rest time no more than 60 seconds on days i lift less, i keep the resttime around 30 seconds so i get aerobic benefit

    i have shoulder injury i'm rehabing so that affects my ability to lift heavier weights until i can get it properly healed.
    at the moment these are my max:

    BB row : 110
    Bench press 95 (stupid right shoulder :cry: )
    deadlift 125
    back squat 145
    lat pulldown 115
    bicep curl 60

    I just started lifting again recently. I squat 65, dead lift 85, shoulder press 20... I'm also do new rules. I am trying to eat somewhere between 2000-2300 in order to be in a surplus and gain muscle. However last week I ended up losing a pound. This week I'm traveling so calories will not be good.

    This is an old post. I'm now doing Strong Lifts 5x5 instead of New Rules (only made it though phase 1 of that before switching to something else). My squats are at 120lbs, deadlifts at 185lbs. I do barbell shoulder press which is at 70lbs I think. Ended up gaining 10lbs over the winter with my bulk, now trying to cut.
