DanXO's log

Hey all, starting my log here, I have been toiling through the SSNLP the last couple months, started the BBM press plugin once I started stalling on the bench/press and had good success, was so good that I actually trying to continue LP for squat and deadlift. I never actually stalled out on the BBM press plugin.
Right now I am planning on starting Baker's garage gym warrior next week, this week was first week of school here, so took a low week and did the 1rm tests to get an idea where I am at. I am open to other suggestions for a 3 days per week, looked at the bridge, but I'm not ready for RPE or the change in lifts. I am married, work full-time, starting night classes, and have 3 daughters (youngest is an infant) so I'm allowed basically 1 hobby, 3 nights per week .
Stats:
Male
38
5'8"
168.2lb (today)
Squat: 290lbs
Bench: 195lbs
Press: 125lbs
Deadlift: 315lbs
Macros are set to try and gain weight, my goal is to get to about 185 by January, gain a little under 1lb/week, then either cut back some weight or just maintain to try to recomp a bit.
365 carbs
180 protein
80 fat
It's about 2900 calories per day, normally I'm pretty spot on +/-5 for the macros.
That's about it, I've been lifting for "years", just never consistently enough to be successful. I found starting strength about 8 years ago, didn't do the program, couple years back I followed it consistently and was able to squat 225, prior to this the best I had done was 185. Anyway, earlier this year I started following Jordan/Austin/Leah/Alan a bit more and realized that successful lifters always find a way to train, I personally would always let something derail me, so decided I would get my plan ready, eat to put on weight and stay consistent.
