Since I am not seeing gains on the top end of my lifts, I decided to switch things up for the month of February and do 4 x 10. My previous sets & rep ranges came to 38. This is why I decided on 4x10 since there are 40 total reps. To get my starting weight I added all of the weight I lifted for the previous sets and reps and then divided by 40 so that in total I am lifting the same amount of total weight. I was successful and now will move up on weight.
Another big time note is that I am gaining weight, getting to 205. This is worrying me since I would like to be at 190 in peak condition. My worries went away when I went home and the shirt that I wanted to wear for work does not fit me across the chest, shoulders and arms anymore. I know that I am gaining weight in the right places. Worries have gone away and I am proud of my gains as I am seeing noticeable results.
