New Feature: Results Summary

Premiering the Results Summary, another LG Patreon exclusive. Get your results personally evaluated by your's truly. Using state-of-the-art statistics tools, I'll tell you what's good and what's not, and - if I can, or if I feel like it - how you can improve.

I've just posted the first in Community, but I'll add it here so everyone can get an idea of what it's about. This report will get more refined as results come rolling in.

I'll also post future reports here, under posts, so you don't miss them. I think they serve a purpose in that you guys can get a frame of reference for how your training is proceeding.

Furthermore, for future reports, I'll require a video of your squat. In order to give personal recommendations, I will also require your training program if it's different than the one's we have here. Let me sum up the requirements below, so I don't have to ask:

* Length of bulk in weeks. 

* Body weight: The average of first week + average of last.  

*  Height 

*  Age

* Before/After for a minimum of 3 movements: Deadlift, squat and bench. Maximum of 6: The aforementioned + weighted chin-up, overhead press, and row (any variation except machine).  

* Reps mustn't exceed 14 when denoting before/after stats.  

That's all for now.  

Results Summary (12 weeks, Patreon RPT)

Ok, here we go with the gains summary:

1. Your deadlift increased by 73 kg or 41.8%; this translates into a 11:1 gain-ratio (GR: kg str/kg bw) which is among the highest ever recorded for your category (high intermediate). 

Another way of putting this into perspective is that your relative strength moved from 1.95 to 2.6, which means that your now officially Advanced - well done. 🥇👏

2. Pendlay Row: Also exceptional (5.1 GR). 

3. Squat: Good to great (3.97 GR). BTW 180 kg x 10 is very impressive, feel free to post a video.

4. Chin-Up: Good. 

5. Bench Press: Fair.

6. OHP: Fair. 

Summary

Your Adjusted Total GR is 2.32, which is **Great!**

You're a great squatter but excel in pulling. The latter likely explains your weak point which is pressing. That said, your results in pressing are after 12 weeks- on the whole - slightly below average for people in the same category, even while correcting for phenotype (Puller). I suggest experimenting with another approach for those specific movements on your next bulk. * Great results overall. 🥇 

* That said, you can't hit a jackpot in every movement. Personally, I rarely get more than fair results for pressing when I bulk. The only exception being the one time when I went from benching once a week to twice a week, alternating paused bench and TNG. My paused bench increased linearly from 100 x 10 to 117.5 x 10 during the first 10 weeks IIRC. My TNG bench increased by 12.5-15 kg unless I'm mistaken. This was during my brief but successful (?) competitive career during which paused benching was the standard.
