Height? Age? Goals for training (strength, hypertrophy, chicks)?

I might want to follow this - I’m a HS English teacher, this might get interesting.

4

Might want to focus on school with those kind of weights.

Jk

Man, that’s twice this week you have been a dick. Once here and once on @rymon511’s log. @MarkKO called you on it.

You should be nicer.

You not getting laid, high E2?

I get the Jk, but seriously, you could be a little nicer.

If you care to check out my log from last summer, you’d see that I had a 320 bench and 455 squat and was 186lbs lean. My strength and weight is low right now because I backpacked Europe this summer and didn’t have a gym membership.

I’m 6’2" and 21. My training is generally focused on strength, as I want to compete in powerlifting; however, this training block I am mostly focused on hypertrophy. I would love to be around 185lbs towards the end of the semester and get close to my previous best strength levels. Thanks for stopping in!
