Hi all,
New here but not to lifting. Been involved in lifting or sports most of my life but approaching 40 I have taken a more serious and dedicated approach since last summer. Goals are strength orientated with physique being not as important but still want to be the biggest guy in the gym. I have a goal of competing in some sort of strength event in the future whether strongman or powerlifting. So as of now my training is mainly big 3 focused with OHP. Currently running 5/3/1 cycles and eating everything in sight and reaping those anabolic food gains. Last year I focused in weight loss and got down to around 170-175 from 210ish. But refocusing on diet and consistent training I have gotten up to 220 as of now prob around 20% bf.
EDIT: height 5'10
Starting lifts at 198lbs in august
OHP 140
Dead 288
Bench 206
Squat 212
Lifts as of now BW 220
OHP 165
Dead 405
Bench 260
Squat 315
Goal was originally the old 1,2,3,4 plates in each lift respectively. Now I'm starting to focus in on a 300 bench,400 squat, 500 dead.
Seems like a good place here to gather info and interact with like minded individuals. Hopefully talk to some guys who can help guide a newb when he's ready to move to the next level.
Thanks guys
