Age: 36
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 178 lbs (1.24.20)
Training History:
- Crossfit (11/17 - 08/18) - got some noob gainz here and there, exposed to barbell for first time, got into the habit of working out
- SSNLP (08/18- 12/18) - form resets, good progress, lifts plateau'd hard - cut from 173 -> 157, massed to -> 169
- RP Male Physique Templates (01/19 - 04/19) - poorly planned by me, still got some good muscle growth - cut -> 163, massed -> 168
- SSNLP (05/19 - 06/19) - deadlift form reset, improved bench, ran it out and stopped at the right time - massed -> 177
- HLM / Texas (06/19 - 08/19) - PRs on all lifts, good squat and DL 5RMs before major stall on squat & ragequit - massed -> 184
- BBM Bridge 3.0 (09/19 - 10/19) improved work capacity & training knowledge (RPE), small PRs, not much strength gain due to aggressive cut -> 172
- BBM Hypertrophy I w/some additional bro work I added (10/19 - 12/19) - gained about 8 pounds, strength took a hit
- Powerlifting Gym's Team Programming (12/19 - current) - not the best programming for me - volume, intensity & exercise selection all feel wrong, lifts are not improving, feel beat up all the time. Just looking to get through it and move on
