Hey there!
I wanted to share my results of 1 month of novice linear progression:
Squat: 60 kgs → 95 kgs (58% improvement; +8,8 kgs/week)
Deadlift: 80 kgs → 140 kgs (75% improvement; +15 kgs/week)
Bench: 47,5 kgs → 61 kgs (28% improvement; +3,4 kgs/week)
Press: 32,5 kgs → 46 kgs (42% improvement; +3,4 kgs/week)
Bodyweight: almost constant at around 122 kgs. Waist did go down by 2 cms.
My weakest link is the bench press. I don't know why, but it feels pretty weak. On the other hand, DL seems my strongest lift by far. I always feel like there is another rep or two in the tank.
I'll do a couple of more workouts (reaching SQ 105 and DL 150 if everything is ok) and then I'll go on holiday for a couple of weeks. Then I'll restart NLP as soon as possible. Will be following Andy Baker's article on coming back after a layoff.
Thanks for reading and have a nice summer!
