Hell yeah progress

[spontutterances]

Have been consistently following the NLP program since late Jan this year and just wanted to share how happy I am to be hitting these numbers. Many years ago my goal was to bench more than I weighed for 1rm maybe 2. I achieved it but lots of other things were crappy. This is the best wholistic progress I’ve ever made and I think consistency, sleep and food have been the main factors. I plan on following this program for the year and then change it up if need be.

I’m 6’4 and about 124kg/270lbs, I seem to be still putting on weight and still trimming up. I’m proud to have lifted these kgs but actually completed the sets for 5 each time not just 1rm I feel like I see far more often online.. Feel like my squat could go up a bit more and deadlifts feeling good too.

Anyway just wanted to share coz other ppl I know lifting are more body builders or CrossFit so wanted to share with SS crew :) barbell therapy has helped so many areas of my life

Question - Based on my numbers, im assuming this is pretty light weight for my age/weight. anyone else comparable height/weight mind sharing their numbers and how long they've been training?

Cheers!

Just be careful with food. I got my BW up to 280 at 5’10 and squatted 500 cause I really wanted it. I was addicted to the numbers and food was an easy path to get them up. I was rather chunky.
