I think I am up to this - we will see.
A little background - I'm 30yrs old 5’11”, married w/ 4 kiddos. I‘ve been lifting for years but for the majority of those years wasted time w/ BB style workouts and terrible diets. I found EF in late March of this year and changed my views on lifting/diet by April. I have gone from 245lbs w/ a 44" waist @ 28% BF to 208lbs w/ a 35" waist @ 16.5% BF. I am sure it would be closer to 10% but I cheat on Friday night, most Saturdays, and most Sundays. I don’t pig out, and it is only at either lunch or dinner, never all day, but none the less it is my weak point.
I will be starting another run of the linear 5x5 in a week - this week I am refiguring my maxes. I had surprising success on my last 5x5 and have spent the past 3-4 weeks doing 20 reppers (w/ some rest/pause). To say I am excited to get back to heavy lifting is an understatement for sure. I relished my time in the gym while doing the last 5x5. I really benefit from going in w/ a specific plan, and having the spreadsheet tell me exactly what to lift and how many times to lift it works perfect.
My #1 goal is to get stronger...... a lot stronger. My goal is to be Squatting 405, Benching 315, and Deading 405. I’m feeling closer on squats and deads now but the bench is light years away it seems. I will be supplementing my lifting and diet w/ some gear. Test, Deca and GH. 10-12 weeks depending on how it goes, 6 months for the GH. I will kick start w/ some Dbol and do PCT w/ winny/nolva/hcg/vitamin e.
Diet is 40/30/30. Daily cals between 3500-4000 unless I start getting too fat. In 12 weeks I will go back to 2500’ish for 10-12 weeks and see where I am at that point. I ran my last 5x5 w/ no gear and on 2400 cals a day max – and I still did well IMO. I missed some bench, but that was it. This time will be NUTZ!
Current Maxes
ATF Squat 335x5
Dead lift 335x3
Bench 195x3 – worst lift by far
Standing OHP 135x5
GP Row 215x5
So again… we will see. I hope having a journal will force me to eat cleaner. Here goes!
