I have spent the last several days thinking about what to name this log or whether I should even keep a public log. I've found that a cool name for your log is probably the most important thing to keeping a the most important thing to keeping a log(check). Something catchy that makes people want to read.
What you actually do is probably third or fourth in importantance behind the name of course, how many people post in it, and maybe how much you can lift when you start. s probably third or fourth in importantance behind the name of course, how many people post in it, and maybe how much you people post in it, and maybe how much you can lift when you start. Well I'm going stick with convential wisdom here and give my log a catchy name, but am I not going to post in it everyday, I wil am I not going to post in it everyday, I will probably lie about how much I'm benching just because this is the interent and I can. Maybe some people will post here offering curses and a little support. Maybe some people will even post here offering support. Since not everyone who reads this will know anything about me let me first say I am super good looking and rich(this is for the ladies) I work crazy hours and may in fact be a little off myself I set out last August to become stronger.
With good intentions in hand I headed off to the gym and quickly realized I actually know little about strength trianing. I also know very little about a lot of other things know very little about a lot of other things as well, which I think we will discover as this log goes along. Back in August after reading a whole lot of logs here on Sherdog I decided the first thing I should do is set some short and long term goals.
So I set these goals. I'm not really sure why I picked these but here they are.
Bench my weight for sets(at that time 215lb sh)
Be able to DB press 100lb DB x3
Reduce my bodyfat to 15% or below(at the time 23%)
By October I realized what I was doing(random weightlifting and cardio) wasn't doing anything for me. So I started to look into a Starting Strength type program. So I re-did my short goals to met some new challenges and broke them down into both short term(3 to 4 months) and long term(1 year) The short term goals were
Combined Big Three of 650lbs(DL, Bench and Squat)
315 Deadlift
275 Squat
245 Bench
(numbers picked at random to be honest I just thought they sounded good)
Long term
Combined Big Three of 900lbs
405 Deadlift
315 Squat
275 Bench or 225 x 10(these goals were hese goals were also picked at random and also cause their even plate numbers)
