Just Aiming To Get Stronger/Leaner

Premise

Hey guys, been lifting seriously for the past year or so. Goals are to lean down from 18-20% body fat to 10-12% body fat while maintaining strength. This is my priority for now.

Current Stats

Squats - 90kg x 10
Overhead Press - 45kg x 6
Deadlift (No bouncing, reset each rep) - 120kg x 8
Bench - 75kg x 10

I have yet to test my 1RM for a long while, got an L5-S1 herniated disc. But lifting slowly and progressing slowly has allowed the pain to dissipate. I have been training with Leangains RPT for the better part of this year.

Estimated 1RM are as follows:

Squat - 115kg
Deadlift - 145kg
Bench - 90Kg
Press - 52.5kg

Current bodyweight: 76kg
Goal body weight after cut: 70/71kg

Program of choice:

Krypteia. Bought the 531 Forever book, loved it. I have always been a big fan of 531.

Chose Krypteia as the overview of the program indicates strength gains whilst leaning down. As long as I keep my diet in check, aim for a deficit of 300-500 calories, I am confident I will witness some weight loss with the way the program is structured.

I will keep this thread updated as I start to train. I am using the Ultimate 531 app on my iPhone and it makes my life so much easier with the different 531 Forever programs.

Just my 2c but I don’t think you need to test your true 1RM. Using an actual 3RM or 5RM and using an e1RM for setting your TM is absolutely fine

First workout of this Krypteia! I believe it’s called Krypteia prep.

If you’re curious, this is the Ultimate 531 app on the App Store.

Yeah nah, you’re right. That’s why I chucked in those numbers above into a 1rm calculator.

Second workout of Krypteia.
