Starting with the end in mind: 500/350/600
Hey gang, my name's Barry and I want to hit 500/350/600 on my 50th birthday. There's a million reasons why it won't happen, but I'm going to try. I'll be 49 in 8 days, so I figure I can run four 12-week cycles between here and there.
I'm currently around 187 lbs, with a height of 5'8".
Lets get started....just finished week 3 of the HLM programming I decided to run.
I used the following maxes to base my training on. They might be a little conservative(really, probably just a little, if any) since my training has not been on point for a number of months.
Training maxes: 410/265/500 so obviously, yes, I'm basically an orangutang.
Week 1:
Heavy day 7/18
Squat 285x5x5
Bench 185x10,10,10,10,9(supposed to be 5x5 but cranking some volume)
Pendlay Rows 185x5x5
Light day 7/20
Squat 246x5x3
Press 110x8x5
Deadlift 350x5x4
Medium day 7/22
Squat 267x5x5
Bench 172x10x4
RDL 135x8, 155x5, 175x5. I've never done these before. This was too light but was skeered of sore hammys.
