I hit 180 yesterday with a spotter. And on the two hand cable curl I've been able to meek out about 3 shitty reps at 150 but today did a solid 8 rep set on 150. The stack doesn't go any higher at that station, I may have to relocate, I think another goes to like 240.
My goal was to get to leg press of 375, but that hasn't happened just yet. My god, yesterday I saw these two guys switching off on the leg press, adding 45 lb plates until they filled it up - then put another one on the back - for a total of 765. 8-45 lb plates on either side and 1 45 on the back of the leg press plate. They didn't even look that big, they weren't fully extending but still, they did like 10 sets between the two of em. It was nuts.
I'm actually shifting gears a little to a more mixed cardio routine. I've been getting a little too comfortable with my routine and my gains are noticeably declining, so I'm mixing it up. Here's a good example of how I'm changing it, from my facebook fitness "blog". This was my workout yesterday:
