These aren’t my maxes (idk how to even find what that would be), but the weight I’ve reached following a beginner 3x5 program. My bench has always been weak and whenever I worked out regularly in the past, I’d stall/fail past 60 kilos and get demotivated.
I have passed 100 kilos on Squats and DL before, it’s about the point I got to before I got injured a year or two ago. The exciting part is I’m at this point after a little over a month of consistently going to the gym, whereas before it took about 4 to 6 months. Only thing I haven’t caught up on are my Pull-ups, which have also always been difficult for me - moreso than bench actually.
No questions to ask this time, just content with my progress for now and wanted to share.
I was looking at 5/3/1, but there’s a lot of variations and idk what’s appropriate for me right now. I have started running on off days because 5/3/1 advocates for that (from what I’ve read) and I like the idea.
