    Age

    Height
    6'3"

    Weight
    250

    Starting Lifts
    Squat - 3x5 @ 115

    Bench - 3x5 @ 105

    Deadlift - 1x5 @ 165

    Press - 3x5 @ 65

    Goals
    Primarily getting stronger (an increase in 5 rep maxes on the four lifts) while following a recomp style diet as suggested by Jordan Feigenbaum over at the Nutrition section of the SS forum. Seeing weight come off steadily or consistently is not a primary concern, which is why I am going to keep measurements of my umbilicus which I believe will be more indicative of my body composition at this point (high BF%) rather then weight. Weight WILL still be recorded though more as a long term statistic.

    First day using the Adipowers, what a difference. Also need to avoid unnecessary stretching, felt a strain in my back in the middle of a stretch before I ever touched the weights.

    10 lb difference in starting weight and todays weight is because the starting weight was likely wrong.

    1/20/16 Wednesday

    Squat

    1x2 @ 140
    1x5 @ 140
    1x3 @ 140

    Deadlift
    1x5 @ 225

    Notes
    Discrepancy in bench reps due to thinking it was much heavier then I could bench in the first set then manning up and completing the second set. Legitimately fatigued on the last set. Deadlift reset for form reasons.

    Used my time on Wednesday to get some videos on my form and work on that and mobility. Back to LP next session, hoping to keep my form pretty decent through work sets.

    Missed a few days because of life, not really worried just either re did the same weight or reset 5 lb on a few lifts. Back at it.

    Deadlift

    Notes
    Back on my regular life schedule, introduced the micro plates to the bench press. I understand some may think this was premature, but I failed at 140 not too long ago. I'm not also eating at a ridiculous surplus because of my weight, just trying to foster strength gains as slow as possible.
