Since I started this topic, I should probably update my status.
In about an hour, I will finish week 13 of SL5x5. I’ve not missed a single workout (I do M,W,F). I really only ever bumped up bench when it comes to weights, everything else I just followed the program exactly (starting with the bar). I also do chin ups every workout, and dips on bench days.
Here are my current stats:
Squat: 235lb 5x5
Bench: 200 5x5
Row; 160 5x5
OHP: 130 5x5
Deadlift: 250 1x5
My weight is 235, my height is 6’1"
I’m getting a dexascan done this afternoon, and I have one to compare from 6 months ago (also when I started Keto). I’ll post those results, hopefully today.
Edit to add: So far, I’ve only failed one rep ever (on OHP, of course). But I feel like I’m getting close on my squat. Its a grind, for sure.
