Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 3m 2d Gender: Male Posted 07/03/13 07:30 AM Share Posted 07/03/13 07:30 AM Exactly.... The first time I did bench after 10 years away from the gym I couldn't even do 1 plate each side. I was horrified but I dropped the weight to 15kg DB. Within a couple of months I was up to 30s. Keep at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
