I was just looking through my training log and thought it might be fun to put some numbers to my progress.
The workouts I've done since December are: BBB, ABBH, TTT, and currently on WM. So what's the best way to compare what I used to be for, say, 4x6's with what I'd do today for 3x10's?
One way might be to compare total poundage? For example, if I used to do 200lbs for 4x6 bench press (total of 4800lbs) and today I do 225lbs for 3x8 (5400lbs) that would be an increase of 112% assuming both were close to reaching failure with similar rest periods.
If that makes sense:
| Dec 06 | May 07 | Increase
|
|---|
| Bench Press | 4200 | 5850 | 139%
|
|---|
| Squat | 4440 | 6450 | 145%
|
|---|
| Deadlift | 4440 | 5640 | 127%
|
|---|
Not bad considering I've been eating at a calorie deficit for the last couple of months to lose weight and still seeing strength gains.
