And when progress slows...remember, slow progress is still progress.

You'll have noob gains for a year, which is awesome; then the grind starts when you hit those plateaus lol

Working on bringing my squat to 500. I did 410 3 times a couple months ago.

Take it slow and don't rush to those high numbers. My clinic sees plenty of power lifter types with messed up backs and joints on a regular basis. Micro tears, you have no idea occurring, are very likely to come back to haunt you later on in life

I love benching, squatting, deadlifting; my numbers are paltry, but those movements are so fundamental that they cannot be overstated.

I also do weighted chins, in place of overhead pressing; since it beats up my rotators no matter how much mobility work I do.

I also highly recommend anyone that hasn't tried using the gymnastic rings, to do so; they are superb accessories, especially ring flyes, dips, rows and face pulls.
