Funny how people end up back where they started. . . to make a long story short I was doing the basic Starting Strength routine found on BB.com for a while and was making some good progress. Some poor planning, effort towards recovery on my part made me crash pretty hard. So I tried some different routines, and while I did gain some "weight" I don't really think I was getting stronger. . . at least not at the pace I was doing SS.

Just last week I actually ordered both Starting Strength and Practical Programming by Rippetoe and Kilgore. I haven't had time to sit down and read the whole books, but they point out a lot of things that I could have done differently. Enough typing. . . . I'm back!

*I started on Monday, but I'll simply start my log from today's session.

Starting Strength: Workout B

A) Squat: 165x 5/5/5


B) Press: 85x 5/5/5


C) Chins (done to failure): BWx 7/7/6


Notes:

* this was all good, I haven't done a lot of these "core" lifts in a while so I'm still finding my ground. . . this workout was fairly (I hate to say it) easy. Maybe I have gotten stronger.

* I'm gonna roll with this for a while, no accessories yet.

* Thanks to anybody who drops by!
