Caporegime
Gents,
I need your help.
For the last year and a half (on and off) I've been working at Stronglifts 5 x 5. Current stats are;
Height: 6ft
Weight: 90kg
Squat: 60kg (due to injury which is now recovering, max was 132.5kg but was going up with no failures until my knee went pop - injury to my patella tendon from a snow related incident made worse by skiing.) Going to keep the weight on this artificially low just until recovery is complete but number of reps and sets isn't a problem.
Bench: 90kg (just had to drop due to repeated failures but should get back above 100kg soon).
OHP: 70kg
Row: 70kg
Deads: 135kg again artificially low due to knee injury but now progressing again with no problems other than wobbles with my grip strength.
The trouble is that I don't know whether to add some supplementary exercises in (been adding chin ups to DL day) and stick with SL or, which I think may be my preference, change things completely.
Managing 1.5 to 2hrs 3-4 days a week isn't an issue.
I'd like to stick with the core exercises from SL with extras but I'm interested to see recommendations especially things to help with my upper body strength or aid knee recovery.
I have access to my own rack with latt and row attachment, bench and free-weights atm. Have no interest at all in joining a gym or machine exercises.
