    The idea here is to get back into harder, somewhat higher volume training as I gain weight. I reset my squat and deadlift by a lot to resolve some back pain and get in some technical practice. I'm also experimenting with the lever arms on my rack.

    Default On Pause for Now

    starting strength coach development program
    I've joined Andy Baker's online barbell club, so I'm going to host my week-to-week log over there. I'll pop in here to log some PRs and competition results, whenever I manage to find a meet. I'm committing to Baker's conjugate programming since that style has worked well for me in the past.

    This week, I took out a bench single at 335 and a squat single at 460 to calibrate my initial wave of dynamic effort work.
