Ok, a brief overview of my situation. Late 40s, ran SSLP about two years ago, jumped into Texas Method, broke myself, then to Andy Bakers far more befitting Garage Gym Warrior, of which I'm on my second run. First time round saw me finish at 195 kg dead lift - 165 kg squat - 110 kg bench - 73 kg strict press. I train from home due to the time constraints of running a small business and having a young family.
Equipment wise I've got 2 x oly bars, SSB, squat rack and about 300 kg of plates- also a sled and heavy bag which I suppose could be used for GPP if needed.
I'm not, and have no intentions of being a competitive lifter nor sashaying about on stage oiled up and in my Spedos, but watching my numbers go up is a joy. So a good all round program is what I'm chasing rather than a narrowly focused one.
*To be clear, I'm not jumping from Andys program due to poor results, on the contrary, but I've been rating my lifts using the RPE scale (GGW is strictly % based) and correlating it with the percentage chart in the Bridge e book and am fairly confident I've got a good handle on judging my lifts and would have little problem introducing it, or at least partially into my training if need be.
**If you think the Bridge would be just as good a fit, I'm happy just to run that once I finish my current block, just curious if one of the templates might be better suited to somebody in my position.
Cheers.
