I did it! Three weeks ahead of schedule, I hit the strength standards for the basic lifts. Also during the five weeks I gained about 2 pounds, and I think it's pretty much all muscle. I'm starting to look bigger, and lats are looking wing-like. I will post some update photos probably in a week or so.
Here are the results:
DEADLIFT
293 lb. - July 16 [Intermediate standard = 280 lb.]
BACK SQUAT
238 lb. - Oct. 8 [standard = 238 lb.]
BENCH PRESS
178 lb. - Oct. 17 [standard = 178 lb.]
OVERHEAD PRESS
120.5 lb. - Oct. 10 [standard = 121]*
*note these are the strength standards at 155 lbs. but my weight has ranged from 151-154 during these last few months.
Now I need to set a new goal. I just joined a crossfit gym, so I plan on doing crossfit for the next few months. Stay tuned....
