nice! 60kg weightplate or total of 60kg??
if 60kg weightplate i'm pretty sure that you're a beast...haha

If you are just started lifting weights, those number won't counts. What counts is how much you can "put exercise name here".

not really get you...did you meant Reps?

For 1 rep. Or in the other word, how much can you squat/bench/deadlift for 1 repetition.

i see...i actually tried that just now...
my friend who challenge me,total weightplate 60-65kg i think...not sure about barbell weight,forgot to ask the gym owner...but with alot of support tho...so my guess is maybe around 55kg...will try again next time for exact weight...so,it's not gonna ruin anything right??should i do '1 reps' test after few set of normal reps or do last or do 1st?

1st week 15kgx2 *15reps*6sets
2nd week 25kgx2 *15reps*6sets
until now daily
20kgx2 *15reps*2sets
25kgx2 *15reps*2sets
30kgx2 *15reps*1sets
35kgx2 *15reps*1sets
35kgx2+ 2.5kgx2 *<10reps last sets............
after that the day squat........ legs totally no strenght when walk down stairs.....

Pretty sad right? All i can see is the word.chest chest chest chest chest. That's where your priorities are. Prepare to be disillusioned.

i focus on other part as well...long story short,i just don't want thing get so complicated here...
just an FYI...Shoulder is just my top priority,since it's the hardest muscle group to grow to me...

All da best bro....keepidap ^ ^

thanks you bro you too aswell

That is not Starting Strength.

strength should be low reps and super high weight right?

Starting Strength is a workout routine

ooooppssss!!!! my bad! hahahaha

I do it this way in my gym..

for bench ..
10kg each plate x2 - do as many as i can for 8 set. <--- till i can easily do it with proper form ..i move to 12.5kg x2, then 15kg x2.

for squat.
normal body weight squat as many as i can til i can do 50x3..i move to pistol squat

good thing to get used to proper form 1st...
i add 2.5kg x2 each time too...
i must have support/spotter to perform a proper form...
till i get my MP Assault,now i can easily lift with proper form without any support
but i still prefered with support/spotter that give me more confident
last night lift 15kg x2 PR

haha xD maybe you should try Baby Yoga...hehe

Are you sure is 40kg?

I think beginners (like me) should stop counting numbers and focus on muscle contraction. I know numbers are very motivational but it could all be just ego you're lifting.

Power lifter lifts numbers, bodybuilder contracts muscles.

hmmm...true...after think of that for a sec...maybe i'll use the number as an excuse someday if i din't actually gain muscle mass...
ya,should focus on proper form or proper attitude...cuz this few days i get mentally stressed by those number,forcing myself to hit my own PR everyday...
thanks for the remind brahh...

It doensnt matter!!! So u bangga la? Wait till u full squat with 140kg x 3 reps then u tell me.

Wakakakakakk
