Jared’s Novice Linear Progression- 34-M-245lbs
Hey all,
Current Stats-
34, M, 245lbs, 5’10”, 33% BF, Orangeville, Ontario, Canada.
I’ve attempted LP twice in the last 3 years but due to job changes and life stress I haven’t done the program properly.
The longest I was able to stay on it straight over the two attempts was 8 weeks. I plan to go from a novice, intermediate and then hopefully advanced lifter. I’d also like to look at competing locally one day.
Athletic background is Judo for a few years as a kid, (I’m a green belt), MMA in my mid 20’s, Recreational CrossFit for 9 months when I was around 29-30. The only thing I have going on now is men’s slo-pitch.
My greatest struggle is staying disciplined and consistent long term. That’s not just with lifting. I’ve never stayed in the weight room more than 1-2 months with any consistency and usually with a year or years of gaps in between. This attitude has also spilled into my diet, hobbies etc. Working on self discipline is a big focus for me now.
I have a full time job in sales so it’s very sedentary and there is a lot of driving involved. I’m married and have 3 kids between the ages of 10 to 4.
I have a pretty decent home gym setup now and want to put it to good use.
Hopefully that adds everything needed for my background. I’m 5 or 6 sessions in now so I’ll log them individually to keep things clean and then I’ll be all caught up.
Looking forward to reading a bunch of the other logs here, seeing your progress and staying accountable for the other forum readers as well.
Feel free to stop by and say hi and I’ll make sure to check out your logs and comment back.
Thanks all and good luck doing the program!
