I currently work out at home in my garage 3-4 days a week and train Brazilian Jiu-jitsu 2-4 days a week. I'm also training to compete in Scottish Highland Games. Before starting a legit strength program in May 2010, I had not really lifted weights for close to 20 years.
The key to my success has been consistency. The keys to my consistency have been:
- Setting measurable, achievable strength goals
- Getting on a program that keeps me interested because I am constantly setting PRs.
I've gotten a lot stronger, as you can see from the numbers below....
In May 2010, I tested my 5 rep max:
Bench: 205
Squat: 225
Deadlift: 255
SOHP: 125
I've made huge gains since starting:
Current PR's:
Bench: 1x305 - 12/21/2011
Low Bar Squats: 1x405 - 12/23/2011
Deadlift: 1x465 - 12/19/2011
SOHP: 1x205 - 12/27/2011
Push Press: 1x245 - 12/29/2011
Weighted Chins: 1xBW+115 (336 lb Total) - 5/2/2011
