I hit a PR this week in Bench so Im super stoked. Ive been on calorie restriction for sometime dealing with BF %. Additionally at 43yrs of age, any gain in strength is a huge obstacle for me. Currently cruising on TRT.
Hit 330 for 1 rep Max and 315 for 5 reps. Not much weight compared to many but for me its a significant improvement. Up from being stuck at 325 months on end.
Current lifting stats:
DL: 455
Squat: 460
Push press: 265
Bent BB Rows: 315 x 5
BB Curl: 135 x 6
Close Grip BP: 295
Training Goals:
-Increase all lifts in max poundage in lifts and/or heavy reps (increase in strength and mass)
- Reach PR goals in the big 3 ( 500+ in DL and squat, 400+ in bench press)
- Keep BF below 15%, ultimately in the 10-12% range.
