ZachPSU Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Welcome to my new Log. My old log was a little disjointed and abandoned for 4 years. When I came back I decided to do the challenges, so I am spending my regular time posting in challenges (can be tracked on my signature) and my fitness related adventures will be tracked here. I will check in here at least weekly with snapshots of my training logs, and try to keep up with some transformation photos. It's a pain to measure myself so measurements are out, pictures are the way to go for me. I have an athletic background, but have fallen into a bunch of gym-bro related workouts, become incredibly anterior-dominant (tight pecs -- I'm working on those with some Supple Leopard mobility work), and tight quads from front squats. I'm switching back to back squats now with a transition back to GSLP. My GSLP progression is going to look a little funky because I put my bench where I felt it belonged to start, while I totally rebooted squats and deadlifts because I want to work my technique while the weight is light. With the burnout sets of GSLP and how that impacts progression, the weight will catch up soon enough. I am pretty stiff and lack hip external rotation to go with my pec issues, so my form is all over the place and I know it. Okay, here goes, spoiler tag for beginning photos. Beginning stats: 168 lbs, BIA bathroom scale I have places me around 19% BF, but I'd eyeball myself closer to 22-23%. Front Relaxed/Flexed: Spoiler Side: Relaxed/Flexed Spoiler Back Relaxed/Flexed Spoiler Fledgling Leg Flex Spoiler Finally, a quick shot of my workout ledger this week. Dealing with some recurring tendonitis on my left triceps, so I scrapped dips Friday and probably will again Wednesday, depending on how I feel. Will definitely not use weight if I do them at all. Spoiler In the event this approach is flagged for too many pictures or size or something, my lifts currently are (in lbs); Overhead Press (80), Chinups (+2.5), Squats (55), Deadlift (65), BP (185). Adding bonus work currently of Pushups, Single leg bridges, planks, and Yates Rows.

ZachPSU Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Just a quick update to my progress, here's my workouts through 7/1. I am getting pretty impatient with Deadlifts, and resisting the urge to tinker with the program and make it into a A/B program instead of squat/dead/squat for the week. Going to take forever to get my deadlift up. What I'm thinking I might do is compromise, and add 20 lbs per deadlift workout until it gets difficult. Right now it's just laughably light, and through my form check post I think I've made all the corrections I can until the weight gets challenging again. Spoiler for workout log pic.
