'sup champs!

So i've been away for almost a year. Getting my vision for winning at life straight, yada yada.

In any case, I'm doing the Candito 6 week program. I chose it because I need a program that is mentally easy, but includes the heavy lifts. My overall energy levels have been pretty pathetic as of late, so I need to launch an offensive I know will be a self-reinforcing success.

I'm about 210lbs at 5'10''. Benched 360lbs, squatted 420 and deadlifted 450 a year ago, but got a bad injury so my immediate goal is to just recover towards that level, but with better technique and more generous focus on mobility (especially ankle/hip/lumbar and shoulder) + stability.

Things are off to a reasonable start. Just finished the first week, and managed to bp 230 for 13 reps. After leg days I hit the prowler or do Tabata sprints (only four rounds to begin with). Objective is to complete cycle more or less on schedule with the added HIIT.

I will continue to add updates to this thread. Feel free to ask questions.

Looks like a great program. I'm currrently doing Wendler's 5/3/1 and seeing some gains. I'd like a program that is similar, but with a little bit more structured volume built into it. Let us know how this works out.
