Update 4 Started Feb 10th, ended 18th

My strength is going up fast, much improved over last week. I'm now focusing more on faster movements, if I cannot move the weight at a decent speed I lower it, so all my weight movements are fast and heavy, probably the best way to train for power movements.

High numbers for this week.

Military: 95x5* (Highest I've done with strict Military form)
Squat: 190x5
Deadlift: 225x5
Pendly Row: 160x5
Pushups: 5 (I do these after Bench and Military)
Dips: 10 at 30lbs of assist
Pullups: 5 at 45lbs of assist and 1 at 30lbs
Incline Situps: 10

Hmmm? Just seeing that you weigh 244 lbs now and looking at your lift numbers. Yo used to weigh like 185 ? .. i could be wrong

Have you gotten your body fat measured lately?

No your right. I was about 180 and now Im about 245-250Lbs. My bodyfat level is probably somewhere between 19-23% based on my estimates. I just need to keep working hard in the gym to make sure I get good gains.

Nice man thats some significant gain in weight. Bullllkkkkkkkkedddd up ;D

I plan to go to Marine Officer School in October so i need to start leaning up. I bulked for a while, currently 204 lbs. 5'10.5, 16% Body fat..

Definitely a time to bulk up and a time to lean out. I notice that the fatter I am the faster I build muscle but everyone has thier own ideas of what works. Remember that I'm trying to be a powerlifter and not a bodybuilder. I also do too much cardio for muscle building purposes but it makes sure my heart and lungs are in excelent shape.

At 204Lbs 16% bodyfat you would only lose about 12Lbs even with a 6% bodyfat reduction. Hardly worth it unless your trying to get really cut for some reason.

at 245lbs you should be able to pull more weight than you do bro...ur training stats are similar to mine wen u was under 200lbs.

your about 10lbs heavier than me at about the same height and i can outlift u by 2x on most exercises.

Yeah, my Strength is definitely on the lowside for my weight. I need to stay consistant. I'm just starting my 7th week of training before I hadn't trained for over 5 months! I've basically worked my way up to where I was before... now I got to find the strength to push harder and further then ever before and get stronger. I have a lot of untapped potential but I need to stay consistant to ever reach it.
