7 years on and off I suppose

Barbell curls or facecrushers maybe, for the puuump

Maxed at 1x102.5kg a while back. Pretty slack tbh, should be way more

Same as when I started. Look good, feel good, and be able to eviscerate my enemies

But yea it's been a journey.
Started with PPL 6 days per week, did that until early 2020 with some variations and changes over time.
Moved over to 5/3/1, ran that for a bit then also tried 5/3/1 BBB. Around this time I was just keen to get my maxes up because why not.
Ended up with 1rms of the following at around 108kg body weight. So again, not really amazing numbers
OHP 70kg
DL 200kg
Bench 102.5kg
Squat 155kg
Early 2022 I switched to PHUL and have been running that with some changes since then.

Reflection and biggest challenges:
Crazy to think I started over 7 years ago. For how long I've been at it, I should be way ahead of where I am. But I am so glad I started and have no plans to stop.

My biggest challenge is just saying consistent. When I go to gym consistently the numbers go up and I get bigger. When I diet consistently my weight moves in the direction I want it.
Life, relationships, covid, proximity to gym, stupid injuries from ego lifting. It all affects things.

Currently:
Running PHUL still. Been pretty slack the last few years. Covid was a massive hindrance, then soon after that I got into a relationship. But I've been consistent the past few months. Around 112kg body weight, 192cm. Cutting atm.

solid
i think i'll add maybe a collection of lifts/stats in the op of the players that provide them for historical purposes Solax is a perfect example of tracking since this forum will still likely be a cult classic for some time

Hahaha cheers bro, I'll report back in a few months. I've been having good consistency this year so far and things are finally stable. Writing up the post and especially putting the pics together was quite sobering so I'll be grinding hard to show good progress next time I check in
