Here is a quick bio of myself. My name is Chris and I have been competitively powerlifting for the last 4 years. My best lifts are a 325 bench, a 405 squat, and a 525 deadlift raw all at 220. I haven't competed in about two years simply because of outside obligations and life simply getting in the way. I have not gained a significant amount of strength in the last two years either and admittedly have become sort of a program hopper (hopping from one program to the other trying to find what works.) I work two jobs and allot of hours per week which can sometimes make it difficult to go to the gym. Lately I have found that training a minimum of two days per week is optimal for my goals and seems to prevent burnout or overtraining and I have slowly began to make small gains again. As far as programming is considered, I have become a big fan of simple linear progression, much like Dan Green does. I bench once every week and squat or deadlift every other week. Outside of that I go to the gym whenever I can and try to get in solid workouts but if and when my life starts to get in the way, I simply cut back and focus on my primary 2 workout per week. I started this thread to simply post my workouts and make myself accountable for what I do in the gym. Any advice or suggestions that anyone may have is greatly appreciated as I am very open minded and open to new ideas. I am extremely excited to be part of this forum and hope to make good contributions when and where I can.
