The past tense of Strength is S t r o n g t h
I started off my lifting journey doing Athlean-X programs starting in June pf 2017. Stopped in March of 2020. I sent Jeff Cavaliere way too much of my own money. From there I ran 5/3/1 for about 2 months, then tried Izzy's P2W program. Then I found Starting Strength, and, honestly, fell in love with it. Brought my lifts up pretty high.
Squat: 315x3 - 390x5, 405x1
Bench: 225x1 - 237.5x5
Press: 135x1 - 167.5x5
Deadlift: 405x1 - 420x5, 425x1
I then went on to try a 4-day TM, and it obliterated me. Then I found some of Andy Baker's work, and I loved it. Tried his Powerbuilding program, and it was awesome. My squat did, however, suffer.
Squat: 385x2 (I detrained a lot on the squat, only training it once a week)
Bench: 255x2x3 (All time best)
Press: 178x2
Deadlift: 419x2
I just switched over and am now doing The Bridge 3.0. I absolutely love it and RPE is changing my life. I'll be logging in my workouts from this post on out
