    Default Going back to strength training

    Hi everyone,

    during the last summer I had the (retrospectively stupid) idea to lose some weight and to devote myself less to strength building. I lost a disproportionate amount of strength and started my LP again in August.

    I will use the next few posts to review my training diary since August and then regularly post the current course of my training.

    Since I live in Germany and we calculate with kilograms here, I will convert the values into pounds and round. I also apologize in advance for any grammar problems.

    Status at the beginning of August:
    Male
    26 years
    177 lbs body weight
    5'10 Height

    Squat: 220 lbs
    Deadlift: 220 lbs
    Bench press: 154 lbs
    Press: 88 lbs

    I try to get it on three training days a week. But I won't be able to follow the scheme 100% because I have to do a bachelor's degree in addition to my work and have to go to university in the evening.

    August 07th 2019
    Squat: 3x5x220 lbs
    Bench press: 3x5x154 lbs
    Deadlift: 1x5x220 lbs

    August 09th 2019
    Squat: 3x5x226 lbs
    Press: 3x5x88 lbs
    Lat pull: 5x10x80 lbs
    French-Press: 3x10x50 lbs

    Hi Carson,
    last time I stepped on the scale (3 days ago) it was 193 lbs. That would be a 16 lbs gain since August... not a big jump but it's heading the right direction.
