All,
Am going to be running a thread here that will go beyond the typical list of workouts with the weights and reps utilized, instead we will try to dive a bit deeper. Including the bigger question of WHYs...
So Lets open up with a big picture snapshot.
Me (pictures below)
34 years old (this month! WhooT WhooT
Best Bench 501lbs Raw
Squat: 535 sleeves
Deadlift: The struggle.
I have been working out since I was 16, Bench has always been my thing. Took me YEARS to bench 501. Literally years, for example, when I was benching 480lbs it still took me two years to get to the 501. I think a lot of people lose focus of the time involved in strength training and instead focus on the statistical anomalies, sure IG brings us all closer...but don't lose focus of your own lifts and goals by watching someone elses!
I have been engaged in powerlifting now for 5 years and have had considerable opportunities to learn and as an average Joe that had to learn and fight for every pound on the bar I think I have quite a bit I can help others with. Hence my name, AmateurStrong...
