Very little lifting experience prior to LP. Started my novice linear progression last July, and finished it up late in December with the following stats (all in #s):
BW: ~215 > ~230
Squat: 155x5x3 > 355x5x3
Press: 75x5x3 > 150x5x3
Deadlift: 165x5x3 > 375x5x3
Bench: 125x5x3 > 222.5x5x3
PC: 95x3x5 > 155x3x5
I’m excited to see where intermediate training takes me!
