I've put off starting a log here cause I've always been too lazy to update logs I've started elsewhere, but I've enjoyed looking at the other logs in this section so that should keep me motivated to continue posting.
About me: I'm currently a grad student so it's often hard to find time to train. I did a meet back in the fall of 2009, about 1 year since I started lifting, and went 320/215/415 = 950lbs @ 190lbs. My training has been fairly inconsistent throughout the past few years due to school but I've been on a pretty consistent schedule for the past year and a half and am looking forward to getting back on the platform.
I am currently planning to compete at the USAPL CO state games in late July in the 110kg class.
Some stats:
6' 1", 230lbs, 23yrs. Planning to slowly move up to ~245. Weighed 150lbs at 6' 1" before I started lifting.
Squat: 420lbs
Bench: 315lbs
Deadlift: 500lbs
Press: 185lbs
P Clean: 206lbs
Chins: 3x5x55lbs at 225lbs BW
Would like to go 450+/320/530 = 1300 total in July. I'm currently rehabbing a hip injury so my squat is down quite a bit. Hoping to hit 405x5 in a few months.
Short term goals are to squat 375x5, my old PR before injury, bench 335x1 (touch-n-go), deadlift 205kgx5, and get my shitty, stuck press moving up.
I'm currently running something like the Texas Method but with less squat volume in light of my hip.
Last thing: the name "elVarouza" has nothing to do with anything, I just completely made it up. :-)
