What's your estimated BF%?

I would say 8 maybe 9. Trying to get down to 180 without dieting. I wanna get down to 7 for sure.

I was 192 in November at about 10 or 11 % body fat. I weighed 184 yesterday and I'm 10 pounds heavier on most arm and shoulder excercises. Pretty much the same with my back and chest. I made big improvements on my squats doing 3 or 4 sets of 10 at 185, now I'm doing 225 at the same clip.

I really need a tan.

Awesome. Any chance you have access to a Bod Pod or hydrostatic weighing for your BF% testing?

Anywhere in Nashville to do it?

To add on my previous post. Last week was pretty much salmon, tilapia, and spinach salads. This week i'm doing carbs, then next week it will be fish again.

Dang

I'm at about 9%, but 157 :)

Frustrating sometimes, but you can only build the body you've got, not someone else's.

Great work! My natural genetic potential is around 180, according to estimations do I've got work to do

Anybody have any thoughts on the Wendler 5-3-1 program? I'm starting it this week.

Solid program. It's a simplistic strength program that allows for as much assistance work as you see fit. It's always fun to aim to break a record basically each time you walk into the gym (excluding deload workouts of course)

K, so I'm wondering what people think of this:

6 weeks of push, pull, legs
6 weeks of chest, back/bi, delt/tri, legs
6 weeks of chest, back, delts, arms, legs
3 weeks off
repeat

Last time I took that much time off I feel like I didn't lose anything and I felt like a million bucks when I came back.

My concern is that in the 3rd phase I get more detailed, and that by repeating this I lose gains. Should I take a shorter break and return to detail work?

I would definitely advise taking a shorter break.

Cool, that's what I thought when I read about it. I like the idea of steady periodized progression on the main lifts with the ability to change up the assistance work from time to time. It sounds like something I could stock with for awhile without making drastic changes.
