• Switching to an upper/lower split provides more time per session and is recommended over Starting Strength for beginners seeking overall development.
• A 75 lb weighted chin-up was achieved on day one of testing.
• A running vertical jump of 38 inches was measured.
• A standing long jump of 8 feet 10.0 inches was achieved.
• Body weight was measured at 186.5 lbs, with a goal to reach 178 lbs.
