First off: great gains with those deadlift and squat numbers. You’re putting up some really solid lifts these days. I mean, lol with deadlift and squat you’ve nearly put 200 more pounds on your bar since December. Stoked that you’re still around. Keep it up!
One thing I wonder though, when you first started seemed like you were doing more conditioning and accessory exercises. Have those stopped or do you just only log your major lifts? If they’ve stopped, I would encourage you to pick it back up if you can. I’ve found that the muscle that is gonna help you out the most is your heart: I mean, it delivers the oxygen to your muscles to allow contractions to take place.
That is my only question/critique. Otherwise you’re making mad gains, and more importantly you’ve stayed super consistent!!
That doesn’t work with the plan we are using. We are following Starting Strength.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
My buddy and I have dropped the accessory exercises to focus on barbell lifts, according to a program called Starting Strength.
