Wow, what a week! I finished my 4th microcycle with Coach Ryan Miller. While I am not going to reveal workouts and specific advice he has given me, I can say that his program is working for me. Here are some max lift numbers on core lifts that should blow your mind.
| Core Lift | 1/4/2015 | 2/1/2015 | % inc/dec |
| Back Squat | 320 lbs. | 350 lbs. | +9% |
| Incline BB Press | 160 lbs. | 185 lbs. | +16% |
| Deadlift | 350 lbs. | 390 lbs. | +15% |
| Chinup Grip Lat Pulldown | 95 lbs. | 150 lbs. | +58% |
| Seated BB Overhead Press | 135 lbs. | 150 lbs. | +11% |
My 1 rep max increased on every single exercise in just 4 weeks. I attribute this to the way Ryan has me attack the exercises each and every workout. These numbers are close to my all time best numbers. For instance, the most I have ever deadlifted is 405 lbs. and I am at 390 lbs. at the moment. The most I have ever squatted is 365 lbs. and I am at 350 lbs. at the moment.
These numbers were done at pretty much maintenance calories. I am ready for more progress and this has simply increased my focus.
