Going back to school fairly soon after a solid 3 months of good lifting over the Summer.
Currently I’m working on 5/3/1 entering my 3rd wave this past week.
My Current stats:
Height: 6’0’’
Weight: 185 (in the morning)
Bench: 225x1, 195x8, 215x3
Oly Squat (ATG): 285x1, 275x2, 225x11
Deadlift: 415x1, 315x6, 225x21
I’m looking to try to hit 200 by winter break (3+ months)and will do so by following the “1 pound a week” concept. Not looking to eat like shit and gain 5 lbs of muscle and ten of fat but I do realize that some fat gain comes with the rapid weight gain.
I’ll be posting both my diet and workouts on here. Please don’t hesitate to criticize either part, especially my diet as I think that needs some serious work.
So far this week my workouts were as follows:
Monday 8/9:
BB Bench Press: Warm-up, 150x5, 170x5, 195x8
Decline DB Press: 65x8, 65x6, 65x5
