so far, no sore back from yesterday's DL's or pull throughs. Lisa, been looking out for the issue you raised and no sign of it. Hopefully between that and maybe just getting stronger in my back, I can continue to make some progress - we'll see

You're strength numbers are looking great. It's good to see all the new faces but it is a pain to have to go to the 4th page to look for your stuff.
Hopefully it will be like this in July as well. It means they stuck around.

Cardio only today.
Have to get the diet back into better compliance while still eating enough.

Started WS4SB this morning. Liked it a lot, though as always when starting a new program, have to adjust the right weight levels to get the correct targeted sets/reps, etc. So here's WS4SB:

I really need to do measurements as before point tonight since I'm just starting this new program. I just hate and worry that I really have no clue as to what I'm doing as far as taking the actual measurements.

yeah, didn't do the measurements. Well, I did. But I obviously have no clue. My waist was bigger than stomach. And my chest was way smaller than it was 2 years ago when I was in a workout slump. It makes no sense. I will just ignore for now.

Box jump (24" I think??)
1 x 4 Jumps
7 sets of 3 Jumps
Bulgarian Split Squats
30e x (10 on one leg/5 on the other)
20e x 10e
20e x (10 on one leg/6 on the other)
Weighted Side Bends
14each side x 20
15each side x 30
15each side x 40
Pull throughs (diff machine than normally use)
8 x 27.5 x 3
Notes: This was different for me. Other than pull throughs, I had not done any of these before. The Bulgarian split squats (with elevated front foot) were hard and I had a tough time finding the proper weight to get the sets/reps. My knee injury and atrophied muscles around there showed through by the imbalance between what I could do with the left vs right. Will have to work on that. I'm not sure I did the side bends correctly - not my favorite abs exercise to say the least.
I thought I would hate box jumps, but I liked them. A bit rough on knees. Will build up more and add height eventually.
