[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 254359, member: 15235"] Congratulations on getting into a good state of mind. Something I would suggest is to start to plan now to broaden your training into all-around athleticism rather than just strength. To that end, as someone who's 20 years farther down the road, I suggest to you what I would suggest to my younger self: - If you're not doing a sled-pushing HIIT workout once a week, I would start immediately - Don't lose the ability to sprint!!! Sprinting is a large part of youthfulness but it requires explosiveness and hamstring integrity, as well as anaerobic conditioning. Very few people can crank out a quality 200 or 400 meter sprint at any age. - Focus on balanced muscle development, not just the big three. That means pull-ups, incline presses, seated military presses, front-squats, hamstring work, etc. All the things almost no one else does. - Be hyper-aware of protecting your knees, shoulders and spine. Choose goals that you should be able to maintain indefinitely, not something that will be a "glory days" peak. Monitor yourself for "cumulative trauma" and avoid it. - Avoid levels and types of anabolics that are not sustainable. Doing otherwise will re-enforce psychological addiction, create an ego risk, and distract you from refining your training refinement. Learn to micro-dose use a strength progression program that will give you long-term steady gains, not peaks and valleys. [/QUOTE]
