I don't know if this is just for guys that are skin and bones, but I stayed a little bigger, probably about 2 months worth of progress stayed even after I quit. This time around my first bench press was listed in my notes at about 65 instead of the 35 I was doing on a home bench when I was 16. I am still trying to get to 135, so I can put a 45 on each end. I'm at 115 right now. I used to be higher up, but I had an upper back muscle strain. So I quit arms for a month, because everything arms was hurting it.  I could probably up these numbers a little by doing a faster, strength style training, but I slow down and go for size growth. That makes the weight amounts lower if you're not rushing things. Sounds like a good way to avoid hurting yourself to me, and recently, I had wrist pain when taking the bar off the decline bench.
