3. "when my kids went back to school, i fell off on my routine" In response to In response to 0
I was hitting the gym about 4-5 days/week but when school started back up, i lost the time and energy. I'm just getting back into the swing of things and can see my body is getting back to where it was.
I started focusing on increasing my strength on the big 4 this past spring. I'm using the 5/3/1 app. Noticed significant strength gains in my squat. I've really only been in the gym for 2 years now and JUST started incorporating squats and deadlifts into my workouts. When i first started, it was hard as shit to squat 135. This week i squatted 250 for a good 5 reps.
Still working towards bench pressing 225 for 5 reps. I can barely squeeze out one rep right now.
2019 - continue to workout 4 days a week, incorporate a little more cardio. I would like to squat 3 plates, bench 2 plates and overhead press 1 plate by the end of the year.
