SSBBT Novice log 51 yo Male

[Mike Powers]

Hello,
Im a Novice i havnt ever trained with a BB except squats and curls.Ive always used DB,the DB i used only went up to 90lbs.For legs i would use a VLP and i had a Lat Tower/Seatd Row Machine.A bench of course.So i started SL and quickly ditched that after discovering SS and Mark Rippetoe.Its gonna take me awhile to get me back to where i wanna be,but im in it for the longhaul.I basically did hvy weights and low rep workouts(Max OTish5).im not a BdyBldr and dont really care to be,hence i was lucky to have found SS.
My goals are to get to a workset of 315 lbs for Squat,225 Bench,365 DL,150 OHP,and to learn the Power Clean.Also to be able to do Chin Ups again.Right now im going to start to do negatives to help me out.These goals are modest and a starting point,as of now im at Squat 210,Bench 175,DL 250,OHP 100.Ineed work on my nutrition,theres plenty of help here,but i dont get the sleep i need due to work,i work 60 to 70 hrs a week.I got rid of all my equiptment bought a Rouge Ohio Bar,Power Rack,and 255 lbs of Iron plates(gonna need more soon)some weightlifting shoes and a belt(Ader).So here i go



Squat-210
Bench-175
OHP-100
DL-250

All lifts + 5lbs per session, except P.ROW +10lbs for now

i had to deload 1x due to a rib injury,but was fine next W.O.,so i left it at a 10% deload 'cause i jacked up both my shoulders at work,but lifting has made both better,as opposed to not lifting.
