Lifting
Fitness currently plays a huge part in my life. I go to the gym almost every day and it's a big goal of mine to become more fit.
I have been lifting weights as a secondary form of exercise since 2018 (primary being swimming) and a primary form of exercise since 2021
Here are my maxes (all in pounds, as of 6/28/23)
- Bench: 225
- Squat: 405
- Deadlift: 405
- Overhead Press: 155
My workout routine
I currently follow a push-pull-push-legs split (I used to do push-pull-legs but I want to focus on my push exercises, as I'm a bit disproportional) that infinitely loops whenever I go (on average 5-6 times a week).
My workouts don't follow a strict reps/sets amount. I usually go and vibe out a workout for roughly 90 minutes following some principles/intuition that I've learned over the years. Here is my pool of exercises, and I roughly follow this order for my workouts. If you ever see me at the gym, feel free to ask me for pointers!
Note: I use Optimum Nutrition whey protein powder (2 scoops) and creatine (half scoop) each day that I work out. I don't use much equipment. Only a belt (borrowed from gym, although I might buy my own) for squats and deadlifts and liquid chalk for deadlifts.
