    Hi all,I recently finished a novice LP using SS spanning a few months.Here are my stats:Age: 27Height: 5' 8"Starting weight: 82kgEnding weight: 105kgStarting waist size: 34"Ending waist size: 45"Lifts (#s in parantheses represent starting weights)Squat (5RM): 188kg (43kg)Bench Press (5RM): 114kg (43kg)Deadlift (5RM): 207kg (60kg)Press (5RM): 62kg (20kg)I have transitioned into an intermediate lifting program using Justin Lascek's Texas Method guidelines, outlined in "The Texas Method: Part 1" (http://70sbig.com/books/the-texas-method-part-1/). I am starting with extremely conservative numbers as I will also be doing heavy swimming conditioning. Secondly, I will be away from any form of strength training for a few months and my priority is to prep for PADI Divemaster training and to fit into a regularly affordable wetsuit, not a special order XXXXXXL.I will be following a CNS strategy to get rid of excess body fat and potentially transition into a CBL routine if I feel my progress is suffering.I started my "reorientation" phase on 15/12/12 - I will log my programming and results here: http://dangerouslyhardcore.com/forum/index.php?topic=6840.0Feel free to post comments, supportive messages, or insults!Cheers

    It is easily accessible by public transit and somewhat close to the downtown core. When I was younger, my Kendo club used to be based out of that gym before the MMA wave hit. It has been renovated to cater to the Montreal MMA community, which is massive.Backload on poutine!!!! If you do make it to Montreal, check out this place: http://labanquise.com/en/
