Current Stats:

Decline - 155 x 1
Squat - 315 x 1
DL - 295 x 1 (PB is 315)

Coming out of soccer season, so lifts and weight will correspondingly be lower. I'm going to piss a lot of people off not joining my school team....but I just want to lift weights, do well in school and be happy - is that so fuggin' difficult to understand?

Routine is simple; compounds with BS accessory work. I strive for PRs on all my lifts every session, whether in weight or reps.

Recovery days consist of salt baths, pipe rolling, soft tissue work, weighted walks, etc.

I'll start posting my workouts on Tuesday.
