PCD: 2013-2014 Till We Break It Edition
I don't really try and max out in fear of hurting myself.
So I am working out with:
squat = 225 for 10 or 12 reps
leg press (45 angle) = 900 for 6 reps was my best but the low back didn't feel so great. I am going to stick with 810 for a little while longer, that I can do for 8 or 10 no problem.
hack squat = 360 8 or 10 reps
dead lift and bent over rows = 225 for 8 reps
bench press = 225 for 4-6 reps
Incline bench = 185 for 6-8 reps (I normally use dumbells so I really don't do barbell work with incline)
Last time I checked I was 202 lbs. Kicking up the cardio, jumping rope and running 2.5-3 miles 2 times a week. James turned me on to the foam roller, use it every day!

Its helps me but I am not pain free. I can run again, so rolling my IT bands and everything else really does help. I would totally recommend it to anyone who works out or who is just sore. Once you get the hang of using it definitely works.
Rolling my thighs is prolly my favorite part. Do any of you guy roll immediately after a workout...like go straight from the your workout to stretching and rolling? I find that it helps a lot more than waiting.
I roll before I leave and right when I get back from gym. Gym is 5 minutes from my house. When I run I roll, then jump rope for 10 minutes to get warmed up, then I run, then I roll again. I have not stretched since I started rolling besides while I work out and stretch in between sets.

however I need to beef up my stretching IMO to help me stay mobile
Foam rollers are great. My dad got me one about 10 years ago or so. I used to use it a lot in college pre-tennis matches for my shoulders and chest, and then again after the match.
Now I use it both before and after working out, and sometimes before bed on my legs and back. My range of motion for a lot of basic stretches needs a lot of work though.
