Goal....Current...12/1/2013......(+/-)
BW.......183.0.........194.0...........+11.00
BF%......15.0%........10%.............-5.0%
LBM.......155.55.......174.6...........+19.05

Pull Up........5.............16...............+11 (single set)

Just documenting where I'm re-starting and making a goal commitment for 2013.
Last column under (+/-) is the relative change.

I am hoping to hit most of these by end of November 2013, but am allowing end of December as a back-up target....
do not want to miss more than one of these by New Year's 2014.

Just so these number don't seem too crazy, my PRs in each category are:

BW... 194.0
BF%... 8% (as an adult)
LBM... ~165.
FAT... n/a

Bench... 250
Squat... 350
DL........ 405
Press... 140
Pendlay... 205
Pull Up... 22 (single set)

Quality goals. You'll smash them. One step at a time.

THANKS!
Should be a nice progression curve until mid-year and then the real work/magic starts to happen.

Hey, thanks.

If I get there faster, it's only because I am recapturing prior performance so hopefully, muscle memory and neural pathways help me out!

My co-worker's friend is a promotional distributor for Monster Energy drinks and gave us half a pallet of free cans. I almost never drink the stuff, but sine it was free, I drank 3 cans yesterday. Needless to say, I did not sleep at all last night. I had the day off work and ate on schedule, but as soon as I got into the WO, I could feel the lack of sleep hitting me.

The good news is, I still upped the WO slightly and will probably sleep like a baby tonight!

Added reps to delts and calves. Added weight to DB snatches.

DB Curl
10x15, 15x15, 20x15

DB OH Tricep Extension
10x15, 15x15, 20x15

Monster coffee drinks are too good. I have to distance myself from them.

Congrats on the progress.

haha, yeah, they went down easy and I didn't really feel anything during the day , so it kinda snuck up on me at night.

Thanks...a little bit more every workout!
I should be good for linear progress for a few months...

[jdmalm123]

Squat (low-bar, medium-wide stance, below parallel)
125x10, 135x8, 145x6

BB Bench Press
105x10, 115x8, 125x6

Bent-over Fly

Pull Ups

Still felt a little tired. Might have been more from work today.

Squats felt much better. Didn't bother my left adductor and they grooved much smoother. Also did more of a squat specific warm-up.
