Hello,
First, I would like to say how excited I am to finally be apart of this forum. I’ve been doing some reading here for some time now and felt it’s time to officially join the community. Sorry In advance if I butcher my introduction.
I’m 22 years old, 5’11 , and 164 pounds. I have been weight training for a total of about 5 years. For the most part it’s inconsistent but for the last year I’ve been constantly training 6 days a week. Prior to this I was 145 pounds. I’ve never attempted trying to bulk up. My goal was really just to be a better , stronger , healthier version of my current self. So I’ve focused only on eating a clean diet with good sources of protein and lifting weights.
I will attach some before after pics of the last year but by no means are they the best.
My current program for the last 22 weeks has been
M chest back
T bis tris
W Legs
Thur chest tris
Fri shoulders back
Sat legs
Sun rest
My current PRs @ 164 pds
Bench 245
Deadlift 405
Squat N/A ( I don’t barbell squat)
I feel that even without a lot of rest I’ve made A lot of progress with this current program. I’m really still just experimenting and plan to continue to switch things up.
Im starting to think a bulk may be necessary to go up in my lifts. I also really struggle to put size onto my legs even though my strength continues to go up. Maybe it’s just all in my head lol.
In conclusion I’m well aware of how much more there is for me to learn. I’m obsessed with how technical this sport is, I really feel like I learn something new everyday I read the forum or step into the gym. I’m really looking forward to what the future holds.
Humbly,
TedBanger
