Captainrave ----------------- 180 / 147.5 / 245 -------------- [87] --------- 572.5
As happens most summers, due to the heat reducing my appetite, being relaxed and off work for 9 weeks, less access to lots of cooked breakfasts and lunches I have trimmed down slightly. Funnily enough this summer in addition to losing overall body fat my main lift and accessory lift numbers would suggest that I have relocated some muscle from my back to my front
I have started the winter bulk this week and am already feeling better with my lifts.
why the decrease on the deadlift? you still pulled it this year
You'll be pleased to know I did.......
40kg on my bench this week for my deloadhahaha
wish I could add 40kg onto my total

Fair enough...

The start of the bulk is going well - dropped another kg this week!
****That said, can we introduce one of those body weight to weight lifted now

Ive not really trained 1RM - might give it a go in the proper gym next time I go.

If those are for reps, then the + indicates that

That's good mate! You need to fail to progress.
I've been training for ages on and off (years) and only just been able to hit 105kg for reps on squats soooo

Thanks bud, yeah I know but I dont like failure! I guess this program will help teach me that too.

It's designed to build you from the ground up essentially, so it's good to start conservatively as it offers linear progression - In hindsight I should have done it

I didn't taper or prepare for a test this year but I'll be travelling for 3 months, decided to test after 2 PR's last week 180KG X6 (despite training max set 5-10% under).
Can't simply describe how ecstatic I am! 5 medical/sports professionals told me it was game over after my 4 knee surgeries. I'm just sooooo glad I continued looking for answers.

Congratulations DS.
Thought you would've hit that many times before given how strong you are for reps but that looked pretty easy for a PR attempt.
