i'm back!

[kajota]

After a pretty long time away from here, and a pretty long time away from actually being strong, i'm starting back up on rippetoe's program. my previous stats were...

245x3x5 back squat >>>>>350ishx3x5 back squat
385x1x5 DL >>>>> 495x1x5 Semi Sumo DL
135x5x3 PC >>>> 220x5x3 PC
95x3x5 MP >>>> 140x3x5 MP
205x3x5 BP >>>> 240x3x5 BP

That was all done in 10 weeks. My legs have always grown better/stronger than my upper body for whatever reason. Anyways, I got off it for a while, and my first year teaching elementary school caused so many stresses that I lost a lot of strength. I'm currently starting back up heavy eating and rippetoe again, so i'm starting my lifts out at....

185x3x5 front squat
315x1x5 conventional dl
135x5x3 pc
95x3x5 mp
165x3x5 bp (i know, chest got massively weak)

these are all easy though, as i plan on saving room for much progression. i'm hoping my body doesn't suck so bad that i have zero muscle memory. we'll see though. and yeah i'm changing the back squat for front squat. sorry ripp.
