Who is lifting?
What weights are you doing?
How many pounds?
How many reps?
How often?
After looking at Jazz Hand's weights and seeing Jonathan's recommendation of 40-60 reps at light weight, I've decided I'm pretty weak. lol. I've only been doing pretty light weights to keep the shoulders and back strong. Scared to do anything to put much weight directly on my shoulders.

I used to do more traditional stuff. 15 years ago it was benching 125# freeweights. Now I just do a couple of reps of less conventional stuff on the machines (8-12 reps) and not so much benchpress (weaker after 15 years off). I only lift once a week. Triceps, rowing, and lats about 100#. Bench dip about 220#. Pecs about 85#. Biceps 50#. Calf/heel raises, hip add/add and leg presses about 250#. Coach has us do some stuff twice a week with no weights (medicine balls, body weight, etc). Lots of it I can't do / pressure on my bad knee surfaces. None of it translates to pool speed anyhow. :)
