Going for 200/300/400/500
About me
I had a log on here before. It is located here. I decided to try to stick to this program and see what sort of improvements I could make.
My numbers haven't really improved in the last year, which really sucks. I would follow the general programming of the book on and off, but dick around and change things at different times. I finally sorta stuck to it and got to the following lifts:
squat - 310: 3x5
deadlift - 345: 1x5
bench - 255: 3x5
press - 115: 3x5
The only one I failed on was bench for 260. I was still making decent progress on the rest (yes, the press is lagging, I left that out. I have a bad shoulder with flare-ups with overhead movements. I'll have to review it and slowly work it up).
This was back in the summer. The gym I was going to lost its lease though, so I went for a couple of months without a gym. I recently joined one by my house, and have started up workouts again. I am trying to work back to the numbers I was at before, and then keep going. I expect to get back to those numbers by early Nov, and then hopefully continue and add on to them.
Short term goals (end of year)
Squat - 345: 3x5
Deadlift - 385: 1x5
Bench - 275: 3x5
Press - 155: 3x5
I will generally be following the program as follows:
Workout A
squat
bench
bb row
Workout B
squat
press
deadlift
I normally try to finish quickly and then get back home, but I will sometimes have a bit more time. In those cases, I will sometimes throw in some random extra work. It will generally be something like throwing in some curls.
