    Greetings!

    I'm Ryan from Virginia

    5'11" 30 years old

    I finished up my 2nd run of LP last week and I'm now doing a 4 day TM put together for me by SSC, Dan Raimondi. I'm going to be trying to push this up until my son (first child) is due in late May or Early June. Aaaand I'll see where it goes from that point on! My only hobbies are lifting and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so I organize my training accordingly.

    Stats thus far:
    Bodyweight: 210 @19% bodyfat

    Deadlift: 420x5
    Squat: 350x5, 355x3
    Bench: 265x5, 270x3
    Press: 177.5x5, 180x3
    Power Clean: 190x3, 195x2, 197.5x1

    Thanks Allen. I'm going to give Texas Method a good try. I'll most likely do Andy Baker's intuitive method of training whenever I can slip away to the gym after my son is born.
