Hey Bro's,
figured I would check in and let you guys briefly know what I've been up to.

Started working out again in august and decided to have a competition with my friend about who could add the most pounds to their total in 6 months.
I followed a very basic 5/3/1 format, and gained a good amount of weight.

Starting lifts were:
Bench: 195x1
Squat: 205x1
Deadlift: 245x1
OHP: 115x1

We are now maxing out again this week to see who added the most to their total.
We have only done bench so far, and i have a 5 lb lead as I benched 235x1
Today we will do squat, and this probably be the day i am most likely to lose on.

Sweeeeeet! Do Squat and dead today

265x1 on squat today.

nice, did you record lifts? good progress! get dat 315 on DL mang

nahh, nothing to brag about yet.

This summer I will. Hoping to increase my lifts by a few more lbs, and get down to about 170ish bodyweight.

145x1 OHP

gains bro, gains

Good to see you back m9

Your ohp is ridiculously strong tbh. You would've benefitted more from linear programming than 5/3/1 though, could probably have had a 350+ squat and a 450+ dead in 6 minths

5/3/1 is good. I'll continue on it throughout this cut cycle. Slow and steady wins the race.

Thanks though. I hope to at least keep my OHP the same as i cut down to 170.



Thanks, university and starting my own business has kept me ridiculously busy, but the gym helps me keep my sanity.
