You'll have to excuse my training at the moment, I'm working with some elbow tendinitis issues currently. On top of that, I've also come off of a 3 month goal specific training, which did not involve weight lifting. And on top of all of this, I'm trying a new program with a new goal of longevity and health, so I'm kind of being really conservative on purpose.
Someone asked me about my PRs:
Bench - 405
Squat - 315x5
Deadlift - 375x5
Strict Overhead Press - 185
Stats
255lbs
6'2
24
Natural big build/frame
Goals
Short Term - get down to 205-210 (really lean for me)
Long Term - 225, big and lean
I was a broski before I ever learned how to lift properly, hence the high bench press. But these are neither here nor there because I'm not currently capable of any of this now. Truth be told, the goal of huge and strong is fading quickly. I'm overweight at the moment (255) and getting back down to a healthy/lean 215 has been a long term goal of mine. I've achieved it once through proper dieting and exercise, but failed to make my temporary dietary changes become life changes. Simply put, I eat well during the week, and then go out too often and drink too much beer on the weekends. Not making excuses for myself, just saying I completely understand why I have not made it to where I want to be, and admit fault. Hopefully I can manage to pull my head out of my ass.
I currently am following Lee Hayward's 3 day intermediate bodybuilding program, but attempting to eat in a caloric deficit, so I'm not expecting absurd growths physically, nor on my lifts. Getting use to training with dumbbells has been a bit challenging for me, coming from mostly training like a strength athlete. I may or may not sub some exercises out for barbell movements, but I'm trying to be good and just do the program as its written, minus DB rows.
Anyways, enough of my sorry ass woes and excuses... Let's get this shit started and see where it goes.
