The Zen of Weight Lifting

I’m about 3.5 years in. I just switched from a powerlifting routine to a bodybuilding one. I’m not going to say weightlifting makes me happy, but the notion of ‘zen’ sounds right; especially once I figured out my only competition was myself.

Heavily modified Rippetoe (strong lifts). It’s a 5 day plan focused on form, ie, power/fast concentric, slow count eccentric. My current major goals are 400lbs deadlift & muscle-ups on the fat pull-up bar.
