Hello, oh wise & beautiful ones.
Quick preface & thank you - I started of 2016 weighting around 350 pounds. Discovered weights and after a dark period of doing silly stuff & sixpack shortcuts (brr....) I found that old, fat, funny talking fella that is obviously an ass, but seems to know his stuff. By today I`m around 238lbs at 6`1 and 37 years old.
I built myself a little gym and did the SSLP, right after that I did your bridge, and I`m now on the 7th week of the HLM.
Durning HLM my squat went up by 45lbs to 275lbs @ rpe8, my deadlift is around 350lbs (I`ve actually ran out of plates), bench is 210lbs, overhead press is 155lbs.
It`s still nothing heavy, but I`m satisfied with the steady progress and improvements in technique - my left shoulder and knee were in a pretty bad shape and it took a lot of effort for me to simply get under the bar for squats. But hey, it got better and that knee pain I`ve had since I was 20? Gone.
Due to the fact that I`m on a slight calorie deficit at 2200-2300 (with 200-220 grams of protein a day) I think I`ll just run the HLM until I`m done with the silly overweight nonsense.
Here are my questions:
1 - I`d like to add some more press. Will something like your article: http://www.barbellmedicine.com/novic...press-plug-in/ be fine in a HLM?
2 - While deadlifting the 160kg (single) does not feel ultra mega uber heavy to me (RPE 8-9, depending on the day), but on the videos I can clearly see that my back arches a bit right after the lift off. Ar 140 and below I`m fine. Would doing some RDL help me with that or should I just shut up and do more deadlifts for reps?
Once again - thank you guys, my life actually changed A LOT due to your work with SS and now BBM.
