About me, I'm 34, 174cm 68kg from Victoria Australia. I've always been skinny but not strong or fit. Consistent small tweaks due to muscle weakness and lack of mobility.
The purpose of this log is to track my journey towards Simple (and beyond), at least with the 24kg by Dec 31 2022.
My approach this time (3rd attempt) towards Simple is to really try and nail my technique and hopefully the weight will follow.
Starting with the one hand swing, as it is something I have never been able to do well, so I've dropped back to the 12kg for both one and 2 hand swings. TGU have always felt "easy" for me, at least with the 16kg, so I'll keep the 16kg for those.
Hopefully this log keeps me on track, and if it helps other along the way, so much the better.
Short term Goals:
Timed Simple with:12 16 24 32
Solid BW Pistol squat
Long Term Goals:
Military press with the 36kg by my 36th birthday (June 2023)

Times change, and so has this log. Currently doing Easy Muscle/The Giant with 2x16kg. Simple is still on the horizon, but I've decided to work on putting on some lean mass between then and now. Currently up 3-4kg, and after a month or more of clean + pressing everything feels "easier". Will finish Easy Muscle A then The Giant X1 with 2x16kg and see what happens. The 36kg press by June 23 might be too far gone, but you never know.
