I've done HST for almost a year now with decent results. Started working the untrained lower body with squat and deadlift about 2 months ago.
Throughout my time lifting, I started to notice my desires shifting from "GET BIG" to "GET STRONG." Now, as long as I don't get obese, I'm lifting solely for PRs. And with that, I've decided to switch to a strength routine.
BRING ON THE MADCOW.
Switching to all barbell lifts. Haven't directly worked my upper back in over a month (dropped weighted pullups because of shoulder issue), so I'm starting that again. Switched from DB to BB bench. Haven't done an overhead movement for months since I stalled on dumbbell military press, so I'll be doing barbell military press.
Stats:
Age: 19
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 157lb
Body Fat: Probably 15-16%

My PR goals to hit by January 1st, 2013:
Squat: 240lb+ x 1
Sumo Deadlift: 300lb+ x 1
BB Bench: 215lb+ x 1
BB Military Press: 150lb+ x 1
Pendlay Row = ??? (don't really care, as long as it increases throughout the cycle(s) lol)
___________________________________________________________________
Current rep maxes:
Bench Press: 165lb x 5 (estimated, may be 1 rep higher or lower - for story, check the previous log lol).
Sumo Deadlift: 240lb x 5 (estimated, as my 1 rep max is 275lb)
Squat: 190 x 5
Military Press: 105lb x 5 (haven't done this lift ever before I tested it this week, let alone worked shoulders directly in months, so I expect a big boost from CNS pretty quickly)
Pendlay Row: 155lb x 5 (first time working upper back in a month, and a new lift to boot. CNS boost my come)
EZ Bar Curls: Bar + 60lb x 9 (switching from dumbbell curls, so CNS boost may come)

Today starts SD. I'll bump this thread when I get started. Here's to a new beginning, permeated with massive strength gains and no injuries
