    Surprised I managed so well with 4 hours sleep. Completely failed on bench though and got trapped under bar... almost.

    Time to get back in the game. Get back on autopilot. Build my strength back up. Build my 'father figure'. [emoji123]

    Since 2019, my last post, I've twinged my back badly once which put me out if action for a couple weeks. This scared me a bit but I've realised it shouldnt stop me lifting. The best orotection from this happening again to get stronger. So that's the plan - back to the barbell and linear progression.

    Still the same height and weight pretty much - 83kg. I'll be 30 this year! Looking forward to progressing again and any input from those more experienced is definitely valued.

    Cheers!

    Weak as hell but the lifts will return. Can't wait to one day pull 200kg off the floor... achievable goal by the end of the year?

    200kg deads are a long way off.

    Added weighted pushups today. Felt ok. Really want to make progress faster and get back to how strong I was before.

    Also been watching a lot of 'Alpha Destiny's' vids on YT and they seem pretty legit.

    Main advice for now - get strong on sets of five. Stay in 15-20% bodyfat. That means I probably actually need to cut calories...... who knows.

    starting strength coach development program
    Yesterday I re-read through Izzy's post on MINDSET. Here are sone notes I made immediately following that:

    "Dont want to be skinny ripped
    Dont want to be doing party tricks calisthenics
    Dont want to be a fat fuck powerlifter strongman
    Dont want to be some narcissistic bodybuilder

    What I DO want, is to be big and strong abd still able to move my body. To be relatively lean-ish, but not count calories. Just big, strong, and fit. Think rugby player. Think greyskull really.

    Count calories..?

    Go beastmode.

    Pick the right program. Be honest with yourself. Greyskull is a much better program for my goals than SS really, but both would work. If you want big arms then add arm work. Since this is an SS forum, I'll go down that route.

    COUNT CALORIES"

    Key takeaways from this are that mindset is everything - being congruent in your choice of goals.

    I need to get stronger in the barbell exercises (obviously).

    I need to maintain an adequate amount of fitness while gaining muscle.

    I need to start actually counting calories. However, I don't see a need to up them and start bulking until I stall.

    Doing extra arm work isnt awful.

    The goal is the process, not the finish line. There is no finish line. My goal should be the habit of strength training etc.
