Turned 27, decided to get fit
I've been lifting on and off since I was in college and weighed 120lbs. Never really stuck with it. At the beginning of this year I realized I was in my late 20s, and life would be what I made of it. I set a goal to work out, three times a week, and so far I've stuck with it. I've focused on good form over weight, and when I find myself slipping, I'll drop weight until my form is correct. I haven't done any 1RMs, so I don't have those numbers, so the stats below are my working set weights.
5'10"
165lbs
Squat:
195lb x 5 x 5
Deadlift:
135lb x 5
185lb x 5
205lb x 5
225lb x 5
275lb x 5
Bench:
205lb x 5 x 4
225lb x 5
I'm continuing to use a modified Starr routine:
