Strongifts 5x5 - 12 weeks later [training]
At the end of my 12-week SL5x5 routine, I did a strength test, in the form of a mock powerlifting meet.
( Excruciating Mongo-Smash detail... )
Where next? Well, I'm still on for the thousand and more: this is working for me, and working nicely. I'm going to give Madcow 5x5 a go. I respond well to pushing this 5-rep point -- much better than I respond to training to failure or repping out.
And perhaps more importantly: those lifts are handy enough that I'll look out for a novice/masters powerlifting meet next year and try my hand in competition. Yay!
