Here is my log. I put up a post and was encouraged to create a training log. Quick about me: I am 5'10, 360lbs(weight as of 03/24/2024) and I am 32 years old, almost 33. Decided to get back into working out for the first time since high school, 2009, for a few different reasons but a main one was to possibly compete in strongman. Definitely want to compete at least once in a sanctioned event for powerlifting just to officially have numbers for myself, but really see myself as more of a strongman competitor.
I am following a workout created using Black Iron Beast, the 5/3/1, with Boring But Big. I am in the end of my first week, and will recap the workouts in this first post for those and update each one thereafter.
I also have a link to my FB here- Log into Facebook
Most of my workouts get posted there and are public so you can see my form or my numbers if you wish.
Supplements taken are Sixstat Creatine X3 for every workout day. Directions state to take 3 pills prior to working out, and 3 post workout. I stay hydrated well, and on workout days I make one protein shake using MuscleMilk (vanilla, but also have chocolate just haven't tried it yet) and I use 2% milk instead of water, but add a bunch of ice to it as well.

Bench Day - Warmup with 2 sets of 10 pushups. 2 sets of 10 jumping jacks. Normal stretching.
Using the week 1 workout sheet posted below, I hit every one of my sets. I completed my AMRAP at 10 reps.
Did bicep curls as an additional workout using 30lb dumbbells(all I had easily accessible and was being lazy) will strive for higher next week.

Squat Day - Warmup with 2 sets of 10 pushups. 2 sets of 10 jumping jacks. Added in deeper stretching to include palms to floor with wrist against my feet together.
Using week 1 workout sheet posted below, I hit every one of my sets with the AMRAP of 395 only doing 1 rep, then about 30 minutes later I did 2 more. Didn't feel super safe yet with doing 395 with no safety bars but much more confident now. I did 2 sets of my Bigger But boring instead of all 5 as I was gassed. Will shoot for all 5 sets next week.

OHP Day - Warmup with 2 sets of 10 pushups. 2 sets of 10 jumping jacks. Normal stretching.
Completed every one of my sets using the week 1 workout sheet, with every set up to the 205 strict pressed, then had to switch to push press. I did 5x at 165 instead of 3, only because I forgot to only do 3. I finished my AMRAP at 4x 215. I gave myself just long enough of a break between sets to load weights then did the next set, so maybe need a longer break? Did my 4 sets of 10 @ 135 push press, and finished out my Boring But Big's 5th set with 10 strict presses.
