Hello Gang,
First a little background:
I attempted a SSNLP and did ok for a while but a very big life stressor short circuited it and I basically fell off the wagon and stopped training for 8 months. On 2/4/2019 I re-started the LP and ran it until 4/12/2019 and briefly moved to a 4 day split. I recently signed up for group programming with the BBM crew and the first week of programming starts May 5th.
I began using rpe on April 15th. I think it will take some getting used to especially now that I’m not as focused on a target weight like when I was on LP.
My goals are to get below 300 lbs by the end of the year and continue to get stronger for as long as I can.
Here are my stats:
43 yo male
6’1"
Current BW: 345lb down from 365LB on Feb 2.
Squat: 225lb → 345lb
Bench Press: 225–> 270
Press: 125–> 185
DeadLift: 275–> 365
