It's been awhile since I've been on here, but I remember learning a TON from people here when I started competing in powerlifting (back in 2007). I'm hoping to document some of my training to possibly inspire others and push myself beyond my limits. Some background info: 38 years old 5'9" ...

Hey guys, this is my first post! I've been keeping a private log for a while, and I recently started a log on a different site. It seems that more people on this website are interested in powerlifting and natural lifting than the other one though, so I'm going to start posting here! Here are my...

So I saw that Jim Wendler released a new version of 5/3/1 and with the holidays and work ive been looking for something simpler and shorter for my training so I decided to finally give it a shot. I usually am not one for set programs so im probably going to stray a bit on the accessory work, but...

Right, here goes. Been training the last six months, but only at home and with little space, equipment or idea, except that squats, deads and benches are good. Joined a local gym (bargain student price) and today was my first time down there. Left my mrs to do her cardio on the bikes and I...

Because Brian said it was a good idea to post this here, This is just a copy of mine at supertraining.com, so it's the same thing obviously for whoever reads that. My next meet is still going to be raw full-power, so that is what I am focusing on. I'm trying to learn a bench shirt and once in...

Ok...since this forum is populated by some of the baddest/strongest MFers on earth, I'll start keeping a log here, just to lower the overall stats and maybe get some useful advice. Since I'm from Europe, all weights will be in kilos, ok? Let's recap (single ply gear # in brackets): Male, 28...

Havent posted in a while. Been lazy with the training because me and my missus have been focusing on sorting out our new house which has caused diet to go to rubbish aswell, being unemployed doesnt help either, but from now on gonna start back hard and heavy.

Since all the forums out there suck, and I've been using ALN stuff for a while now, I figured I would throw a training log up here. We have a small private gym/Barbell Club in Huntsville, AL called Deep South Barbell. We currently train out of the shop behind my house, but will likely be moving...

I did a meet this weekend, so I'll start my log with that. I train in my garage with other lifters that I coach. I basically steal ideas from Westside and Super Training (even have the same training days as them) and add things to it based on our weaknesses. We video all of our workouts, and...
