Probably not going to log here much at all, more a lurker due to life and other priorities. Plus our gym uses Sugarwod so my logging is super simple and searchable. I’m a mediocre CF -participant these days, so any extra motivation I could get logging here wouldn’t be worth the juice.
Do you use Sugarwod? If so could connect that way to see our gyms info and my workouts.
Biggest things I’ve learned as someone fairly new to strength training is to find almost any program and stick with it. If you’re in beginner to intermediate levels you should be able to level up. I went thru Oly cycle for 8-12 weeks that had me squatting 3x/week and hit a 400# Backsquat at 200# BW (at better depth, up from 330 or,so). Did a Smolov Jr 8 week bench program after blowing Achilles and took 1 RM from 250 to 285 (Close to 300).
Do almost any program and make sure mobility, sleep and nutrition are in line and you see gains. Will need more specialization as you improve beyond Advanced levels (Per Rippetoe, decent gauge for power lifts).
