    Hey all
    I'm 19, 5' 11"~180 pounds. I did stronglifts 5x5 from about 2 months at the end of the summer and went from a pretty lean 165 to 180 (or so) with a bit more fat (now around 16%), but also without paying attention to what I was eating. Also from never squatting to 225 5x5. I then sprained my ankle and just got back into the gym last week.

    Here is where I am starting:
    Squat 225 3x5
    OH Press 95 ""
    Bench 155 ""
    Deadlift 225

    I will be doing the novice program and hope to update this at least once a week. No real place to do power cleans, so it'll be deadlifting and pullups. I put on weight pretty easily, so I'm looking forward to see how I react to GOMAD...

    Goals:
    Squat 275 3x5
    Deadlift ""
    Bench 185 3x5
    OH Press 135 3x5

    Long term:
    Squat/Dead 2.5x bw
    Bench 1.5x bw
    OH Press 1xbw
    Weighted pullup with .5xbw

    Workouts start saturday

    Fri 12/26

    Squat 250 5,5,4 (after fail, 135 3x2 speed)
    Bench 160 3x5

    I know I could have made the squat, but I hadn't slept well and only had a glass of milk in my stomach. I also tried to go extra low on the one I failed on, so I stood up, rather than driving hips up. Plan is to eat alot over the weekend and make 255 on monday.
