Got sick mid October and when I came back to the gym, the 10% deload was still too much, so I went all the way back down to 100kg and now I'm here. I remember being really scared of 117.5 kg (as you can see on the graph), this feels crazy.
I would be shocked if the story started with more than 2 plates on the bar. I conjecture that he didn't really need/bother to track progress (in that app) beforehand. Clearly he's in some methodical, structured schedule and felt a desire to monitor it with precision. If you dedicate yourself like our comrade has you can go to the moon.
Yeah lol, I'm not sure where I started exactly, but I think it was 80 to 90kg
Noooo, I started working out again maybe 6 months ago and you can see in my post history when I hit 100kg squat maybe 5 months ago. I've worked out in the past, but never this heavy.
I do 3x5 on all major lifts, last set is amrap (I could not do more than 5 at 130, so I'll probably fail 132.5 when I attempt)
The "fit notes" app goes hard, I've been using that shit (extremely inconsistently) for like 10 years now.
Great work comrade. May I ask what your BW is, if you're comfortable sharing that? Just wondering like what % of your BW you're squatting. I barely squat 1.15x BW myself.
I'm about 90kg, maybe 16% bf. Heaviest I've ever been in my life.
That's such an exciting weight range. That's in the thick of understanding why your form is so important. If you don't keep the weight secure then it'll take you back and forth or hurt your back. He's a fucking SUPER SOLDIER
Thank you lol, and yeah I had to reset/deload for form a few times around 117.5-120kg cause I was feeling the weight too much in my lower back. Now I feel really comfortable with form even if the weight is intimidating.
It's basically just greyskull lp (3x5 for major lifts, last set amrap) with 3 to 4 accessories, my diet is vegan - oatmeal with chia seeds, peanut butter, and oatmilk every morning + protein shake, quinoa, curry packet, and soy meat with a bunch of almonds for lunch, another shake when I get home from work, dinner is inconsistent, but focus on protein (usually something with lots of beans, tofu, or soy meat again, me and my partner cook a lot of different things tho) and then another protein shake after working out/before bed.
