I began my first Starting Strength cycle on 11 February 2013, at Crystal Coast Strength and Conditioning. I'm very lucky to have Gillian and Mac Ward guiding my progress.
6 weeks in, my PRs are:
Squat - 5 @ 185; 1 @ 210
Press - 5 @ 92.5; 1 @ 100
Deadlift - 5 @ 220
Bench - 5 @ 120; 1 @ 140
My current Olympic lifting PRs are:
Snatch - 115#
Clean & Jerk - 152#
Jerk - 155#
My training for the last 18 months has primarily focused on trying to get better at Olympic weightlifting. I transitioned to that from CrossFit, which I had been doing since 2008. I'm somewhat Gillian's protege in that I don't have any interest in continuing to do CrossFit, and I'm putting all my energy into strength sports. Olympic weightlifting is my love, but I'm open to trying powerlifting as well. I've also done one Highland Games, and it was fun as hell -- I would definitely like to do more of that in the future.
