[quote]MarkKO wrote: Your best bet is probably to start a training log[/quote] I have followed your advice and after careful consideration have chosen to go with Wendler 531 “big but boring”, I have an app on my phone with his program making it easy to log. Let’s see how it goes

1RM attempts this week. Squat remains at 130kgs, Deadlift 155kgs and Bench 85kgs. All done un-equipped.

Good work! That’s some decent progress.
