F = m.a.

Force = (Mass).(Acceleration)

I think its time for a new journal.

For those of you who are new and will hopefully be staying, I'd like to introduce myself. I've been lifting for close to 4 years now, and my goals at the moment are to get lean and strong. I have genetically lose shoulder joints and I have had quite a few shoulder dislocations. Therefore my training is slightly different from the Average Joe's. Consider me sub-par to the Average Joe

My goals at the moment are to get an Over Head Press of 185 lbs, a respectable Deadlift and my BF% down to 12 - at present its around 16-18.

I will try make this brief, Old Maxes on the Big Three were hovering around 335/205/355 (Squat/Bench/Deadlift). I have just come off a lower back injury so my current maxes are not really known. I do know that I can Squat 245 lbs for 3x5 at the moment and Bench Press 205 for a single.

But, my training is not powerlifting-oriented. It is a lot more strongman type with a huge emphasis on the Over Head Press and the Deadlift - I use the Bench Press and the Squat as a means to increase my OH Press and Deadlift. My OH Press max is currently ~155 lbs (90% of my BW) and my Deadlift max is somewhere ~315 lbs. I weigh ~175 lbs at the moment.

I will post my program in another post.

Thank you for reading, ladies and gentlemen
