Hello All:
Been lurking for a year or so, just made my first post today. Figured I should start a log to help track my progress.
Stats:
Age: 31
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 208
BF% (est): 13-14
Best lifts:
Bench: 275x5
Squat: 305x5
Dead: 395x3
Experience: started lifting in high school, but never had any proper training or education about it. Did bro splits on and off through my late teens and twenties. Got serious about training about a year and half ago, which is when I did my first ever squat and deadlift. Did Stronglifts for about 9 months, but injured my back deadlifting. After recuperating from that, I started messing around with my own programs, and feel I've had pretty decent progress. Now I lift 3 days a week and do minimal cardio. Split is: chest/back; legs/core; arms/shoulders. Start each workout with heavy compounds RPT style (3-7 rep range) and work my way to isolation exercises (8-12 reps) with shorter rest breaks.
Diet: I don't count calories or macros. Though I do tend to roughly count protein and make sure I get at least 150 grams a day. I do Leangains style intermittent fasting during the week, and eat on a normal schedule during the weekend. Try to eat mostly non-processed clean foods, but love burgers, donuts, pizza, burritos, pancakes, french toast, etc. in moderation. Only drink water, coffee, tea, milk, and alcohol.
Supplements: whey protein, fish oil, multivitamin, BCAAs when I train fasted.
Goals: aesthetics; strength. Ideal physique would be like Steve Reeves.
Will try to get some decent pictures to post.
Cheers SS community!
