Realized I never outlined my training ideas…
Main goal revolves around just getting back into the swing of lifting for a purpose. Want to lift 3 times a week (really focused on consistency) and clean up my diet (i like high fat/protein and low carb).
My little bit of experience dictates that when I practice lifts I get stronger/lift with better technique. Have done 5x5, madcow, and 3x8 for some success in terms of strength in the past five year.
The lifts I want to work on are front squats, straight leg dead lifts, and standing press. Will add some pull-ups, barbell complexes, and core work. I will use a 3x5 method, adding 5 lbs when I nail 3 sets of 5 on an exercise. The 3x8 sets will be 60%-70% of my 3x5 weight for that exercise. (i.e. If i do 180x3x5 Front squat workout A, workout B I will do 105x3x8 front squats).
Front squat 3x5
SLDL 3x8
Press 3x8

Will also share any recipes I like. Recently got a crock pot which really makes cooking way easier.
obviously I am more than happy to hear constructive criticism or any questions/comments.
Will start with A workout today. yesterday’s workout was just to use my new olympic bar (old one collar broke)
