Soldato
Howdy
At the beginning of 2013, I decided I was sick of being fat and weak. I bought a home gymn, started Stronglifts, and stopped eating as much rubbish. On my first session, I could barely squat with an empty bar. I couldn't even OHP 20KG! I wasn't losing much bodyfat though, and that wasn't helped by my quitting smoking last May. In 2013 I lost 5% bodyfat and gained a reasonable amount of strength, for someone who had none to begin with! I borked my knee quite early on, but after practising and practising my form, I'm comfortable now just wearing a knee wrap for squats.
So, 2014. I've got a new dedication to actually getting my bodyfat down to a decent level (I'm sure I've got abs somewhere), and working on getting to a BW bench and a 1.5 BW squat.
Current stats:
30 y/o
6' 2" ish
94 KG, ~24% BF according to my 100% accurate biometric scales
(for reps)
Squat: 97.5
Bench: 75
OHP: 50
BOR: 60
Deads: 105 *I only have 105 KG, should have bought more plates a long time ago!
I'm cycling a fair bit each week; I enjoy cycling, and it gives me calories for beer! I know, it's the wrong way of going about it, but my love for beer requires I do cardio to hit my cutting calories. I'm aiming for ~1600 overall kcal at the moment (sedentary desk job) - it's a touch low, but I'll up it if I start to struggle or plateau with the weights. Counting everything on MFP to make sure I can work out my requirements if I lose too much/too little/too fast.
Aims for this year:
1) buy more plates!
2) get down to about 81 KG BW before a slow bulk
3) Bench BW
4) Squat 1.5 BW
5) Fix my knee fo' real
6) Push it to the limit
