Hey!

[Samson83]

So, I have been lifting on and off again for 10 years starting in High School. Lifting breaks for me a lot of times will be anywhere from six months to just a couple. I think I had a membership on this site but I don't remember what my username is. So, I do not have the usual stats that most people have. My constant active and non active lifting leaves me to believe I am still mainly a beginner on the verge of intermediate. Also, considering my weight would suggest my lifting is weak.

Height 5'11
Weight 345 lbs

This routine was recently started since the summer when I was doing something else. I have been on this routine to find my balance again. A variation of the 5x5 routine. No legs as I have a pain in my front left leg that I am waiting for to get healed. Currently, I am having problems with my biceps as everything is going up except for those. I started at 235 for my bench press a week ago and moved up by about ten lbs until I thought I was caught up and slowed down to 5lb increases. May sound unbelievable when looking at my numbers but again I have been on and off again for a while and have a pretty fast gain when I start back up again.

Nice stats, especially considering you've been on and off, though you can't call it a full body workout without the legs

Hahaha! Good point!!! I missed that. Thanks for the compliment as well!!! Yeah it bugs me that I have some bump under the skin on my shin and it hurts when I do squats so I dont want to do anything until I can get in to see the doctor. I dont think its to serious of a problem, it hasnt gotten bigger and doesnt hurt to touch. I hate it cause I love doing deadlifts but not knowing what it is, I dont want to chance it.
