I'll get down to business right away. I appreciate any advice/criticism, I am a big kid, I can deal with bluntness.
28 y/o male, consistently athletic/active since I was about 6, mostly running/endurance sports unfortunately.
5'10" and VERY lean 175 lbs, as in some quad definition and serratus pokes out if I lift my arms overhead. I have been as heavy as 185, I was a lot stronger and softer at that time.
I have a moderate level of experience with weights, at one time (about a year ago for this whole paragraph) I was able to 5RM with 315 on the squat and do 225 like air. Dead lifted 405 just to say I did and really didn't mess with it after that. Never really got into benching, so I have no idea. Overhead press I could do a strict 135, a few more lbs on push press. I have been out of the gym and mostly doing Crossfit (as a function of my job, not by choice), so I have no idea how close to these numbers I am any more.
I'm currently in the military and will be getting out at the end of June, when I will be saying goodbye to my running shoes for at least a year. I want to focus on being able to train with at least 315 on the squat again and keeping my shoulders healthy while progressing my overhead press.
As far as AAS goes, I'm looking at doing the 2 week Test propionate cycle a few times a year. Keeping bloat down and making gains that I can still pass off as normal are very important issues to me. I either want to get back to squating 315 for a few reps or be a lean 185 before I start pinning. I view that as more of a personal choice, but feel free to comment on it as well. Other goals include staying strong enough to do 6-8 strict pull ups even as body weight increases. I have a 3 day per week program that I feel will keep me progressing to these goals. If anyone has any input, I can post that too.
Diet is a work in progress, I eat pretty clean (although not enough), but my current work schedule makes things difficult. This will change quite a bit as I'll have a lot more time for planning my meals and cooking with my new job (less hours, shorter commute). Once I get it hammered out, I'll post it up somewhere.
Anyway, I like this site and from the reading I've done, there's a lot of knowledgeable and experienced people willing to help out. I look forward to learning and growing while meeting new people here.
