Not too long ago I put up a post where I talked about my goals. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here are the key points again:
2. Join the 1000lb club (Deadlift, bench, and squat must add up to at least 1000lb)
3. Bring my conditioning up (Cut back on strength training and focus on circuit training ~5-8% body fat)
As of today, I have officially accomplished the first two goals. :) I've been sitting around 150 lbs for a few weeks now, and just today I hit the 1000 lb mark. I deadlifted 405# (5x) a few days ago, and I squated 345# (5x) today, and benched 250# (3x) last week. I'm still working on the bench, but I hurt my shoulder so I need to give it some time to heal. I finally completed the Madcow program, which was an overwhelming success. I truly doubted it would work at the beginning, but I'm really happy I stuck with it.
Bulking up was a success |
But the way things are going, anything's possible. Life is good :)
Congratulations! Felicidades!
ReplyDeleteThat weight gain trendline is very impressive.
I would very much like it if you showed us a comparison of a (DL+squat+bench)lbs / (body weight)lbs between you and some of your idols :) Just a curious thought.
Thanks AJ!
