Why are you using such light weights? Maybe I missed something in the beginning of the thread?

Cause he's weak and will build up over time.

ya thanks pob lol

Well i stopped working out for 6-7 months completely and lost a lot of strength and size. And if Im going to be increasing 10lbs a week, I had to start at light weights..

Day 6: Wednesday

Military Press:
bb x 5 (2 quick sets)

105 x 5 (5 sets) 90 seconds rest in b/w sets

Deadlifts:
145 x 5 (5 sets)

Dips:
bodyweight (168) x 8 (2 sets)

added 10lbs x 6 (2 sets)

barbell curls:
50 x 8 (3 sets)
super set each set with hammer curls 15lbs x 6

I think for military press, squats and bench I will start increasing by 5lbs instead of 10 just so I don't hit a plateau early on..

Weird... You're benching more than you're squatting?

Well for bench i always knew I could do a plate easily, squatting I started at 35lbs just to be safe and for better form... I could match them if that's what I should do..?

I had the same thing happen with me. Eventually, if you work hard at your legs, your squat will breeze past your bench.

From Sept. to Oct. of this year my bench had frozen and my squat went up 55 lbs.
Before that... my bench had always been bigger than my squat, and POB gave me shit about it too!

Keep it moving - it'll take time to get into the big numbers!
