etc etc… I think it’ll help you keep at it without getting frustrated, while at the same time staying positive by reaching goals throughout your training.
Your squat and bench press are even? If you have that type of upper body strength, relatively you should be 300+ on the squat approx. That will definitely lower your times.
weighed myself at 146 right now
My 3 rep max squat has gone up from 225-265 with no increase in weight, and my bench press at 205 also went from 170-205 with no increase in body weight. I do deadlifts too, 255-265 as well for 4-5 reps.
Yea, here in the states, I met a few athletes like that. They were between 19 and 25 and they just quit all together. Some of them were pretty good.
I don’t blame them, the parents pushed them to be child phenoms (and want nothing less) and the coaches they train under believe in brutal (throw up in trash can) workouts as the means to athletic success.
lol, I remember my old HS football coach would regularly deprive us from the water fountains when he got “angry” not realizing that subjecting athletes to this type of reprimand will only compound the situation that got him “angry” in the first place. And this was during the time when Creatine/twinlab was big so I’m surprised nobody pulled a hammy…
