I haven't run it yet (may do later this year in the off season), but I have done Bulgarian style training before and it went well. Squat and bench improved significantly, but i did get burned out...

Yes. I would, if you want to run it for a long time, periodically change which lift is the focus to prevent stalling.

I have not run nsuns. I would drop your training max a bit so you have a few weeks before you attempt that weight again.

After nsuns, you can try Simple Jack'd. It's another high-volume strength...

After 4 years off, you're basically a beginner again. You'll likely rebuild faster than a true novice, but in terms of training, a beginner's routine would be the most sensible. GZCLP has you doing...

I would start with a novice program. GZCLP is a good one. I would run it as is and hold off on adding additional accessories until you get your conditioning up. It's easier to add volume over time...

It could be that the 3x week deadlifts created too much fatigue, which would mask any improvements you made over the month.

Not every has the same relationship w/ 1RM vs how many reps they can...

With 5/3/1 you're supposed to start light and progress slowly. You should be seeing your lifts go up over the course of several months or a year. I wouldn't expect a new 1RM in one cycle. Also, if...

I strained my back 2.5 weeks ago, but recovery has been solid. Today's deadlift test, 1x445lbs.

Now my gym total is 1015 (365/205/445). Will test bench next week, may go for a new squat pr or may...

I got 120lbs on the C&P two weeks ago.

Today, I got a new deadlift PR, 2x420lbs. I'm 10lbs away from an 1000lb total, and I feel good about my upcoming attempt with 440.

I'm almost done w/ my first block of Jacked N Tan 2.0

Squats 1x365

Bench Press 1x205

Clean and Press will be tomorrow. I have about 10 weeks before my Strongman comp and 14 before my next...

Haven't been updating here very often.

I'm on my 3rd week of Jacked N Tan 2.0. Today was squats and I got a new 6RM at 287.5lbs (chipped my old one of 285) and also did

Zercher squats 4x6x95...

That's unfortunate. My family hasn't eaten all of my ice cream, but they ate all of my chocolate chip cookies, lol. I got my Caffe Panna to ring in the new year.

Weighed in at 162.7lbs today, so I'm making pretty good progress.

PR achieved. I managed to hit a double bodyweight squat today.

Also did SLDL causes I'm doing Coan-Phillipi next year.

My Caffe Panna holiday pack arrives today :D

First ice cream order in some time. Almost wish I had waited and done the straticella instead, but I think my family will like the holiday pack more.
...

I'll have to check it out.

Next project was ice cream cookie sandwiches.

I used this recipe for the cookies and I modified Dana Cree's Philly base for the...

I haven't bought any ice cream for myself in a while, but I've been making some with my KitchenAid stand mixer attachment, and it's gone pretty well. I kept getting bases that were too thick to pour...

Well, I'm not going to reach my goal weight/waist size by 2021.

Weight is at 167 today. But I did hit a deadlift PR a while back. Squats are feeling good for the first time since I hurt my back....

They do sound good. I still have some of my fan favorites pack, so I will not ordering another pack, but I may get one of their ice cream cakes for my birthday next month.

Weight has been hovering around 151-155.

I have, though, dropped an inch off my waist, which is awesome. 2 more inches for my short term goal and 4 more for my long term one. Can I do it by 2021....

Now I've been back to the gym for 8 weeks.

Deadlift is just starting to get challenging. I've started failing my strict press, and the squats are tough, but doable. Bench is alright I guess.
