The Agony and the Ecstasy

[Daniel Myers]

I've decided to make a training log to build up some credibility and pad my post count. Here's the relative statistics:

Age: 25
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 180-185
Fat: 10-15%

I spent the first part of this year focusing on weight gain and went from 170 to about 185. Now I'm getting a little leaner with the goal of being a lean and mean 180.

Goals: Get stronger on the basic movements. I'll be doing my first powerlifting meet in September, so my focus is on the squat, bench, and deadlift, with some assistance lifts and conditioning thrown in. I'm not brutally strong yet, but I've made some solid progress since making strength training my priority last year, and I'm pleased with the way things are going.

Please feel free to post any questions or comments you have.
