You guys see his 'gorilla' back ??

That ain't from being a pussy in the gym....lol. LOTS of back work to get 'wings'....lol.
I hate pullups too....
I never got 'set' on any max's.....just going and increasing weight as I went.
6 months of lifting.....I was up to 215x2 chest.....leg press over 500x5 (superpump 250 - its a hell of a drug....lol)....was up to 100lb dumb bells x5 and then 75lb x 10 on flat bench (one set).
I didn't squat because of my knee and not wanting to mess up my back (but did it anyhows NOT lifting weights)....just make sure you work your legs all over - inside/outside/front/back/calfs.
Being in the Fire Service - you have to keep yourself strong, as people aren't getting any lighter with all the fa(s)t food out there.....
