Recent Training

Hey Bros, I haven't posted in a long-ass time because things have been mega busy.  I have kept up with training but just never found the time to post.  I'm going to try to post a lot more regularly though.

Since I got back from holiday break, I have been on a strength cycle.  My coach wants us to stay on it for a number of months before we go back to heavy technical work.   The plan right now is to redo what is basically Starting Strength until I stall, then move on to TM for the foreseeable future.  Rest days will be light weightlifting work.

My schedule right now:
Monday: SS
Tuesday: light Oly
Wednesday: SS
Thursday: light Oly
Saturday: SS + light Oly (pick 1 of the 2 lifts and either work up to 1 heavy single or 4 moderate singles)

My coach told me to pick starting weights that will lead to failure within 2-4 weeks; so 6-12 workouts for squat and 3-6 workouts for bench/press.  I was planning to make 5lb jumps so I started at 365 for squat, 115 for press, 205 for bench, and 315 for deadlift (plan is to not use a belt and keep my back hella straight).

It has been a couple of weeks and I am at:

Squat 400x5x3
Press 125x5x3
Bench 215x5x3
Deadlift 325x5x1

Squat isn't slowing down so that's nice.  I think I can get another week hopefully before I stall.
