I didn’t lift weights for a year. To stay in shape and keep my weight down during Covid, I really buckled down on my food intake and started running.
I’m running a 5k in may and my wife is running the 15k. I got up to running about 4 miles 4 or 5 times a week but kind of got worn out from it around Christmas then got rona January 15. I’ve started going back to the gym last month and have hit my pre-Covid squat max after starting back at 135. I hit 205x6 today and it felt good. My squat used to be less than my bench. Bench is coming along nicely post rona as well. I’ve increased my protein intake and can already see definition coming in to my legs, chest, shoulders, and arms.
I’m coming up on 3 years of living a healthier lifestyle and have been under 190 for 2 years now. 130 pounds down, 34 waist, 187 pounds.
Goals for the next 6 months: bench 225x5, squat 255x5, 193 pounds (gain one pound per month), stay lean.
Good job everyone, keep up the good work.
