Great numbers Bangbang
You say you've just started training again..... How long were you out for?
I'm guessing you got to quite a high level before given those numbers you're doing now? What's your all time best lifts?
Thanks pal. I was out during lockdown. Once the gyms opened again I followed the above plan for 8 full weeks then took a week off before starting splits.
All time best lifts? Hmm I’ve never gone for PB on Bench or Military press, but some years back I managed a 240kg deadlift while training with my older brother. I was actually lighter then weighed around 13st 4lbs.
I’ve trained for most of life so progressively learnt more from others and most of friends train too so the social aspect keeps me motivated.
I’ll post some videos once I workout how to,
You all seem pretty knowledgeable so I look forward to learning more from you all 💪🏾
Makes more sense now. I'd read it as though you'd only been back for 2 weeks total but it's 2 weeks on the new routine after 8 weeks getting back in to it.
That's one hell of a deadlift you've got there, Harvey's our deadlift guru although not in the 240kg league yet.....
I could just about hang with you at bench where you are now but if you get to your target I'll be well behind.
I've managed 130 for 4 fairly recently but all time PB is 145kg for a single. I'm working on it a lot at the moment though so we may be able to push each other towards that 150kg.
I take it your target is multiple reps at 150kg and that you don't do singles? I'm hoping for 2 to 3 at 140kg and a 150 single
Do you have a specific programme with weekly targets or do you just rely on experience and 'wing it'...?
