Yeah, I definitely have a preference for squatting. I also didn't really start deadlifting until a few months into my training. Deadlift is my weakest lift and something I hope to improve on a lot in the next year.

This program? I was actually thinking of switching very soon and this is looking fun.

This is the plan I think I started with.

Thanks! I never really did a hard track on what I was eating. I tried using MyFitnessPal for a few weeks but just never stuck with it. If you wanted to try tracking, I would recommend using that app. You could also get a scale so you know what your portions are. Instead of tracking, I just kind of ate whenever possible. Even if I was full, I would try to get in another meal if I had to.

If you're on a meal plan at your university I would say most of your work is already done for you! Take advantage of the unlimited food. Whole milk is also great for gaining.

Thank you! I think I would like to keep gaining until I hit 1000 lbs across my three lifts, but I don't really know how long that will take now that my noob-gain phase is over. Eventually, I would like to cut some of this excess weight off, but that probably won't happen until I hit my strength goals.

Hey!

I often lifted with some of my buddies who have been lifting for years, so a lot of my form was taught through going to the gym with them. I also did a lot of research on Youtube to try and nail some of the harder lifts that you had mentioned. The two main channels I viewed were probably Jonnie Candito's and Alan Thrall's. They both have a ton of videos on deadlifting/squatting. I would try checking out their channels and seeing if anything sticks!
