Geoff's Intermediate Log, v2.0
My LP is here: https://startingstrength.com/resourc...ovice-log.html
My first Intermediate log, covering 20+ weeks of Texas Method training and two USSF meets, is here: https://startingstrength.com/resourc...og-v1-0-a.html
Current stats:
Age 41
Height 71"
Weight 218 lbs
Waist circ 38"
A quote from the last post I made on my v1.0 intermediate log, to explain why this one exists:
"If I were able to prioritize training this runout as with the last one, I would expect a series of a couple more 5PRs, followed by new 3s, 2s, and singles PRs. However, I'm not able to do such prioritization, as my non-training life has been barking for attention these last few weeks, and looks to continue to do so going forward for the immediately foreseeable future. Ecclesiastical, military, familial duties are all clamoring for attention, and I may achieve little more than "maintenance" for a bit."
So you'll see some weird things here no doubt, including some running (!!) because Army. If my strength levels degrade 10% or less during this log, I will consider it a success.
10% degradation =
Squat not lower than 375x1, 335x5 by end
Deadlift not lower than 435x1, 395x5 by end
Bench not lower than 300x1, 275 by end
Press not lower than 205x1, 180x5 by end.
Now, in the past I've been over-pessimistic during periods like this; I hope that's the case now as well, and that instead of mitigating losses I actually make some small gains. My YHWH grant strength and diligence!
