Bench today: 275 for 4 reps
Deads last Thursday: 295 for 5 reps
Squat: 295 for 4 reps.

Update: bench and deads didnt change, but I squatted 315 for two reps today. Thats a PR for me. I was pretty pumped. Might not be impressive to many, but its the first lift of anything I've done that was 300+ lbs (besides leg press lol).

I'm coming for the 1000!!!

Thanks! Next week I'm gonna go for a PR on deads.

Pumped for the PR

204.6/196.6/184

Haven't seen a drop in a few days but I'm not concerned. 8 lbs the first 12 days of the year is a lot; mostly probably water weight etc.

Not changing calories or anything yet and want to stay in this/see where I go another week or so before messing with anything.

Getting back onto 5/3/1 next week. Probably set my max a bit lower than I think they should be but no risk to hurt myself at all

just use a training max of 80% of your old max if it hasnt been long. jim actually reccommends using a TM of 80 or 85% now anyways.

I’ll get in on this-

A long time I’ve lurked hear, even made this username long ago that I forgot about.

After the holidays, I am a jiggly 5’9” 220. If there is a silver lining I have been pretty consistent with training bomber the last three years , so it is not a total disaster. I have been running pppsa big bench starting this week and I’ll outline today’s workout.

Bench
1 set of 5 @190
5 sets of 8 @225

Bent over row
2 sets of 20 @ 135 2 sets of 20 @ 95(these sucked)

We bar skullcrushers
4 set 10,15,20,25 @ 65

Cable push down
5 set of 20 superseted with grip work.

30 min low impact peloton ride

Diet- need to quit fricking around. I drink way too much bourbon and have decided to stop drinking ; full stop, no moderation.

I’ll be eating low carb, high protein.
1800 cals
190 protein
100 ish fat
remainder carbs

Basically ketogains

I’ll update with an inbody test soon.

Cheers all

Welcome man. Everything looks good. Good to see doing the ole KG, that's a Greta way to go if you stick to it.

Started diet change on 12-26. I weighed in at 194. Today I weighed in at 181.6 lbs. Good progress in 3 weeks.

I have been tracking calories for the 1st time ever and pretty much sticking to an intermittent fasting protocol. Cut all alcohol and low carb diet (not strict keto.

Only exercise I can do is walking die to elbow surgery but I've been walking 3.5 to 4.5 miles per day ever day (brisk walks fasted).

My goal is to get to 172.

Sweet ryno. Good to see you getting back to it.

I weighed in at 200 today, down from 205 in 2 weeks. Not bad.
