As the title says... I'm an extremely poor squatter and deadlifter but attempting a new program anyway. I've been stuck at end-of-LP numbers (which are below average) for my sq and DL for a few years now. My bench and OHP press have suffered due to recurring bicep tendonitis on and off for 3 years, but I've finally found a way to get rid of it. For the last few months I've been able to squat 3x/week without pain in my bicep tendons, which has never happened before.
I'm trying to incorporate some OHP again, but they are not part of my current programming for my upper body lifts as they trigger the tendonitis if I go to heavy. I aim at doing 3x5 of OHP every week, but pain/discomfort dictates the load, and its still far below any previous PRs.
I currently run a third cycle of Greg Nuckols Intermediate high volume bench 3x/week, and will continue with that while doing PB1 programming for sq and deadlift.
Current stats:
Age: 33
Weight: 90 kg (200lbs)
Height:184cm (6ft)
Lifts:
Squat 1rm: 140 kg
DL 1rm: 175 kg
BP e1rm: 147.5 kg
OHP 1rm: probably somewhere between 70-80kg. All time best: 92kg with severe tendonitis.
