3 months ago my wife and I started going to the gym. For the first month all I did was cardio. Then the past two months I have been weight training. It was rough at first, but now, it feels so good to watch the weight stack up each workout. Very motivating. I this week I also changed up my routine. For the first seven weeks I was doing 2 sets of twelve on each exercise. This week I started doing sets of 10-8-6. Feels much better. I feel like it is a much better workout.
When I started working it I was barely able to squat the bar. Today I got up 115 6 times. Felt damn good. My current goal is 150 squat, 125 bench, 150 dead lift. And also slowly going up on each of my other exercises. Feels good man.

I think when you are new (even though 2 months is some time if you are working hard) it's hard to know what anything like maximum exertion feels like. I'd bet with a good workout partner he'd be pressing more weight real quick.

well, I am trying hard. sorry my bench isnt what some think it should be. but its where I am at. I just got done working out, and I feel good about it. I got my squat up to 175, deadlift to 165, military press to 95, bench to 140 and barbell row to 110. I like the progress I am making. I feel I can do more on each exercise, but I have only been training 2 months now. I am into my 5th week. doing this mostly on my own, with help from the internet, I am trying to not push myself into injury. I add weight to each exercise each workout, until I hit a point where the gains are slow or just not coming. Its at that point I feel I will be in decent enough shape to start a 5 day routine specializing much more each day.
For now, I like how its going. I feel sore, but good after working out. but not in so much pain I can barely move. its a good feeling to be honest.
