Gladiator's Log to get 405 Bench

[the.gladiator1987]

Sup guys, I'm back at it. Now that my son is 1, I can finally get back to the gym, even though another is on the way. As some of you know I used to be strong but I lost a lot of strength and size. All time maxes were 395 bench, 500x5 deadlift, 455 squat and 225x7 standing btn bb military. I have cycled before, and will do so again but not anytime soon.

Current stats: 5'10", 180lbs, 22 y/o.
Diet: All over the place and I will work on getting it strict but since I still have abs I am not too worried about it, I am more worried about getting enough calories in every day.
Supps: Creatine, Whey, Multi, Fish Oil, B17, Barley Green Juice Powder, CELLFOOD.

I am just getting back into it so I am doing lighter weights, higher reps for 4-6 weeks, then Im gonna do some heavy reps and figure out my maxes to start doing a 5/3/1/ routine. I plan on doing cycles of 5/3/1 until I dont make strength gains, and that is when I hit the juice. These first couple months I should see some good gains because of muscle memory, I am excited to see how much weight I gain and how much strength I can get natty before resorting to a cycle.

Thanks bro, got a lot going on with college, 1 year old, another on the way, and work, but i more motivated than I have been since I stopped working out. I wonder how muscle memory is gonna be since I used to do steroids, are those gains pretty much lost unless I juice again?

How long you been out of training? I've always found muscle memory works well for me but for a different sport. I had a good while off kickboxing & boxing, lost a lot of speed, power, flexibility and stamina. Now it's all back after a year. And I'm 11 years older than you bro so I reckon it'll come back quicker for you. Now I never did steroids so I don't know how that'll effect things.

Although my brother got very skinny and his hair started falling out when he had kids. 2 in the space of 10 months!
