Hey guys.
Decided to start the log since I guess the programming is gonna be increasingly complex and harder. Making it public may be a good thing to improve discipline.
Age 27, 179cm (5'10''), 88kg (194lb), waist 35''. Training for some years semi-randomly, but I focused on strength and PL lifts about 1.5 to 2 years ago. I don't even have a pair of shoes, yet, but it's on its way from the US to Brazil. This year I have decided taking things seriously and to be more academic about it. I had my first meet today, but it was a Bench only meet, with one week notice...
First step: The Bridge.
Goals:
- Improve understanding and practice of RPE.
- Learn new variations.
- Fix form deviations (there must be many, since I never had a coach).
- Gainzzz.
Current status (May 2018):
- Squat: 180kg (400lb) e1RM (based on a good lifting day)
- Bench: 134kg (295 lb) 1RM (failed to improve on the meet...)
- DL: 210kg (465lb) 1RM (no video, form was probably bad)
- Press: 74kg (165lb) e1RM (based on a good lifting day)
One step at a time. Let's see where this bridge goes, and given the goals of this run, it might be worth it to do a second run of it to take full advantage.
