Hey guys. I've been lurking around here for a while, reading other people's journals and reading all the DC stickies.
Here's a little about me:
I'll be 32 next month, am 5'11" and about 206 lbs right now at about 15-16% BF. I just started cutting again and will probably try to lose a pound or so a week until I hit 195 or a little less. I'd like to see some abs show up for once.
I did sports year round all throughout junior high and high school and was on the rowing team while I was in college. I started lifting weights in 7th grade and stuck with it pretty faithfully until I got in a bad car accident five years ago and jacked up my neck and shoulders. I finally recovered enough to start getting serious about lifting again in the middle of last year. When I was younger I spent too much time working chest and not enough time working by back and legs so I've been trying to make up that lately.
I've been doing Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program ever since I started lifting again and have good results and seen constant strength gains with it.
Based on reps, my estimated 1 Rep Maxes right now are:
Bench: 350
Squat: 280
Military Press: 160
Deadlift: 360
Short term goal: Keep strength slowly increasing while lower BF %.
Long term goal: Put on some muscle mass and bump those 1RM's considerably. I'd like to see 400+ for Bench, Squat and DL and 200+ for Military Press.
My lifting schedule is usually:
Thursday: Squats
Friday: Bench
Sunday: Deadlift
Tuesday: Military Press
I'm very interested in DoggCrapp training and will continue to read up on it while I'm doing my cut and then will decide whether I want to try it or stick with 5/3/1.
Constructive criticism on my workouts is always welcome.
