Better late than Never - Log

#1

Post by pcolumbus » Sun Dec 31, 2017 7:57 am

Hey everyone,

I've mostly been reading over at the SS forum for a while. Decided to move and finally start a log here. I found the SSBT3 book around this time last year and went through a novice LP. Played around with the Bridge for a bit after my LP and spent some time looking at various intermediate programming options. Finally settled on HLM - fits my work schedule and recovery capacity. I'll be running a very ordinary HLM program to begin with and slowly modify it as necessary.

Some stats:

Age: 34
Sex: Male
BW: 205
Height: 5' 10"
Waist: 36"

Best actual 1RMs to date(about 3 months ago):
Squat: 340 lbs
Press: 140 lbs
Bench: 190 lbs
Deadlift: 360 lbs

My goal is to achieve 2/3/4/5 for the lifts and stay healthy. No injuries up to this point & I have no competitive aspirations. Any advice/comments are welcome as I move towards the goal.

Hard to argue against an HLM. Welcome.

Out of curiousity, are you converting those weights from kg or are you microloading?

Oh, and welcome!
