I competed in Weightlifting for about 6 years and then moved to a mix of powerlifting and bodybuilding.
I work as a Strength & Conditioning Coach at an NCAA University and am working on my MSc in Exercise Science.
I just wanted to start a log to keep me motivated. A lot of my methods are a bit crazy, but I enjoy them and it keeps things fresh. Also I feel that by doing odd tempos, chain stuff etc… that even if it doesnt work, then at least I will learn something new.
My all time best as this body-weight is 395 squat, 315 bench, 500 deadlift and a chin-up with +125 lbs.
My goals by then end of this program are 425 squat, 335 bench, 535 deadlift and +135 in the chin-up.
315 is my current 1rm with no pause and after a good taper, so even though the pause on 315 today was way shorter then I had planned, im still super happy concidering how i still have almost 3 weeks left on the program and a good 5 day taper!
On to phase 3 which is high frequency.
No fancy tempos or pauses just hard lifting 5 days/week. Each day including some form of squat, press, deadlift and upper back work.
