Ok so I'm back in Ireland for nearly 20 weeks after my 7 months in 'Nam.
I have dont literally no gym work over in 'Nam but did live a fairly active lifestyle. I drank a lot too however.
Anyway, with these 19 weeks I've decided to set myself a few goals.
Sub 12% Bodyfat
Squat 1.5x Bodyweight
Deadlift 2x Bodyweight
Bench Bodyweight.
100 push ups in one set.
30 Pull ups
1 clean Muscle up.
I have a few things going for me,and a few things going against me. Firstly, I cant even run 2miles with out stopping at the moment such is my lack of cardio fitness and while this doesnt matter for weightlifting considering I used to be able to run 7.5 miles at a very decent pace Im using that as a barometer for my overall decline.
An advantage is I've hit most of these goals before the squat, bench, pull ups and push ups have been done in the past. Never managed the 2x Deadlift or the muscle up for a few reasons.
I was going to try get action on this but I suspect Id find it hard to drum it up so after taking some advice Ill just make it a personal goal.
Starting tomorrow Im going to follow starting strength and watch my calories for 10 days and see where I am before I decided to either go on a straight cut first then bulk for strength then cut for final goal making, or do it the other way around. I'll have a much better idea of where I stand after the 10 days anyway.
Wish me luck! Ill be posting here with workouts, meals, thoughts etc etc as much as I can.
