Hello Doctors,
I discovered your content from Alan Thrall’s Youtube channel about a year ago. Since then I’ve been following your content religiously and it has made a very positive impact on my lifting. Thank you for all that you do.
I’ll try to summarize my training history as concisely as possible:
-
I’m 27, 5’ 8"“, 185lbs with a 34” waist, a year ago I was about 165lbs with ~ 32" waist
-
I’ve completed The Bridge, Powerbuilding I and Strength I and I’m now on my second round of Powerbuilding I. During these programs I’ve experienced on and off hip pain that has limited my squat progression.
-
Prior to Barbell Medicine templates I’ve only briefly trained for strength using various LP style programs that I did not respond well to.
- I’m interested in increasing my strength in the squat, bench press, deadlift and press and would one day like to compete in a powerlifting meet.
What would be your recommendation on the training I should do next?
I’m thinking of repeating Strength I since I feel like i could get more out of it, but I’m wondering if Strength II would be more appropriate at this point? I rougly have 2 years of barbell training experience. I repeated Powerbuilding I for a second round as I believe that will give me a chance to rehab my hip so that it will be 100% for my next strength focused block.
Looking forward to your input and thank you for taking the time to read this.
