Meaning, as time goes by you should be able to do more and more until you hit a plateau. At which point maybe introduce creatine. Take a minute to fill out your profile so people here know who you are and what your gaols are so they can help you better. Best of luck!! -------------- Seize the day!

Each time, you should be able to increase by 1 -3 reps. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.
