    I'm currently in my second year of weight training as well as my second year of medical school. I just finished up a cycle of Bill Starr's 5x5 and am resetting this week to continue my progress. I got four weeks of PRs off the last cycle.

    Current PRs

    Squat: 298 x 5

    Deadlift: 348 x 5

    Bench: 254 x 5 and 260 x 2

    Press: 143 x 5

    Bent Over Row: 226 x 5

    Diet

    About 6 months ago I stopped worrying about fat gain and started GOMAD with skim milk and I've put on about 60 pounds. I'm 5'10" and 220 lbs right now.

    Goal for 2010: 500/400/300 Deadlift/Squat/Bench

    Are you continuing Starr? Have you done Texas method before?

    Hey, thanks. Yeah I'm sticking with Starr for now as it is a time saver. I did the Texas Method for about 4 months and got good results, but damn, the Monday workouts were killer and took over 2 hours. Once I started stalling on everything, instead of resetting I switched to Starr and thats worked out pretty well for me.

    All the better for transferring patients from the operating table.

    How many years have you got left over there?

    At the end of this year we have boards, then 2 more years of school followed by a 2-3 year internship and residency. What about you?

    This is the last year of pre-clinicals, then 3 years of clinicals, then we're doctors. Then we've got 2 foundation years (general training), then specialise in our chosen field.

    My particular school makes us do an extra year to do a BSc degree, so we've got 6 instead of 5 years. It's strange, we're doctors at 23/24.

    I'm actually an American, but I'm doing medicine here in the UK. I'll be doing USMLEs too so I can eventually (maybe) come back.

    Wow thats really interesting. My school offers an accelerated program if you know you want to be a doctor right out of high school-- that takes 6 years so I guess that would be similar to what you are doing. I did an all out degree in pharmacy first so I will not be a doctor until I'm 27 (in 2 years).
