About Mike Mantzouris

Biography:

43 year old father of three 6 and under. I am 5'10" and on Sep 1 2010, I was 215 lbs and 28% bodyfat. Started martial arts and strict low calorie diet. By January I was had a skinny chest and still was a little too fat. So I started dumbbell training with chin ups and the bodyfat started flying off. Got down to 163 about 12 weeks ago at under 10%. That's when I started using a barbel with a novice progression. As my squat got to 230, I started looking for help with my failing form and that led me to Mark Rippetoe on YouTube. That helped immensely and I got all the books and the video. I have my first strength training session with Richie from the Brooklyn Barbel Club coming this Wednesday Aug 24, 2011. My weight is up to 180 by eating a LOT and drinking milk. My squat for 5x5 is 235, deadlift 300 1x5. Press 105 5x5, bench 190 5x5, row 185 5x5
