SS Journal of a wannabe lifter.
Hello everybody!
I decided i would start a journal as i think it will keep me honest and motivated, after having a few false starts with SS.
I'm 31, 6'2" and weigh 94 kg (207lbs) but i look pretty skinny. I used to play rugby till i dislocated my knee a few years ago and plan to get back to it this year as i am moving house. I'm also keen to see how strong i can get before i'm too old and too busy ( get married next year). I've done some weight lifting occasionally, including a couple of 3 week efforts on SS earlier in the year but nothing sustained.
Stats end of week one are attached below.
I'm still getting the hang of power cleans but hope to be able to start adding weight as of next week.
One thing i have noticed is that despite being able to do pull ups and dips normally after a full SS session its much harder!
I'm doing GOMAD but drinking semi skimmed as whole milk makes me feel sick.
I'm also running 5 miles three times a week as i need the CV work. I'm doing it on the same days as training so i can keep my full recovery days. i ride my mountian bike for fun when i feel like it.
I plan to read other peoples journals, particularly those starting at the same time as me.
Roll on next week!
