Wow, thanks for the in depth explanation...i always enjoy talking about lifting, but I dont have many people to talk about it too. Looks like you got a solid routine going and I definitely understand the overdoing it part. I've slowed down to lifting every other day. I usually do chest/tri's, biceps/forearms, and shoulders/back. I go running on days i dont lift (this is ideal, but doesnt always happen).

I've grown up a soccer player, but got into Navy SEALs in high school, so I started working out like nuts for that....then I got into navy rotc at unc an decided I didnt want to spend my 3 years cleaning and marching, so i dropped. Always loved lifting though. I'm about 5'8'', 170 lbs - I think i'm maxxing pretty close to 300 lbs on the bench, but I havent attempted a 1 rep max that high (but its a close prediction), i dont get higher than 270 or so. I know what you mean about DBs, they are much harder than a straight bar and they give you a better stretch. I usually do strength on the bench, then do more reps/less weight on dumbell incline, and of course pushups (nice and slow). My old gym used to have those pushup things to really stretch the chest out and I loved those, but havent used em in a while...definitely get a good workout in with fewer pushups. With bicep curls, i usually do straight bar and do 8 reps of 95-105 lbs, then i do sit down isolation curls with 50-55 lb DBs on each arm...i do some other stuff and bicep pullups. When i first started lifting, i probably neglected my biceps more than anything, but i'm gettin them in gear. I dont lift much legs for two reasons: I hate it and as a soccer player I have pretty thick legs already and they need not get bigger. I think running is sufficient for my legs. In high school, i took a lifting class and did legs...i think the most amount i tried to squat was like 325, but I dont have a strong desire to have giant legs...they used to smack together sometimes when i ran - tryin to get away from that

I've never taken drugs either, like creatine....but i used to drink whey protein, which is something i should probably start doing again...luckily, i have a really good metabolism - i was benching about 240 as a jr in high school and weighed about 5 lbs less back then. My dad has this blood pressure thing and I'm 110/57 and I eat pretty bad...

anyways, sorry about last night - i'm definitely going to set my mac up tonight to run myth 2 bc my old PC just doesnt seem to be able to handle it...which is really weird bc i've been playing myth on that comp for the 4 yrs i've had it...hope to see ya (and the rest of the tanks) on myth tonight...
