Lduncan88's Training Log

Been reading the articles T-Nation for a few years, and I thought I’d start keeping a log on here. I’m a slim guy who grew up riding motocross. I don’t ride as much anymore as I’d like to, but having my body prepped to hit the track is still one of my top priorities in training. Was never a strong kid growing up, but I found lifting at the end of 2006 after high school. Screwed around for the first couple years, then started to get more serious in 2009. I’ve come to love strength training (for what strength I have), and I see myself doing it for as long as my body is capable to.

6’1 - 150lbs. (plus or minus 5lbs.)

Squat - 235lbs. x 2 @ 145lbs. (Jul. '09)
