Back on the Wagon:

[Stilicho]

Age: 21
Height: 174cm (5'9)
Weight: 61.5kg

I've decided to start a training log to help myself stick to my training when things like college start to eat into my time and I'm tempted into stopping entirely. This has already happened last year and it was a pretty bad decision: after weighing myself last week I realised I lost 10.5kg over a period of 6 months and my lifts are extremely weak.

But no worries, over 63 days last year my progress was fairly fast:
Squat: 50*5 -> 115*5
Press: 30*5 -> 60*5
Bench: 50*5 -> 80*5 (over 40 days)
Chin-ups: 3*5 -> 3*5 + 10kg
Weight: 57 -> 71.5

My program is very tailored due to fairly severe kyphosis that is agitated badly by deadlifts and any sort of clean but I own both SS:BBT3 and PPST3 and have pored over them extensively so I think it's worth keeping my log on the SS forums since I'm applying Rip's principles and drinking my milk. I'd also recommend picking up Marty Gallagher's "The Purposeful Primitive" for those looking for some interesting stories about great lifters, though I'd shy away from implementing much of Marty's programs since they are mostly for elite lifters using gear.

Main Goals:

• Push bodyweight up to 75kg by the end of June.
• Push my Squat up to 120kg by the end of June

Squat: 57.5*3*5
Press:37.5*3*5

Easing back into things. I'll be repeating this routine every second day until my shoulders are a good bit stronger; if I add in the bench press too early I get bad inflammation in my left shoulder that causes sharp pain which is a muscle imbalance issue according to my doctor. Unfortunately I'm very achy-breaky for a 21 year old.
