So, here is my log...
I'm starting a new log for a few reasons. One, because my training stye is evolving to meet my new-found scheduling demands. Two, because I just met a huge goal today, and I feel like it's a good time to start logging regularly anew... I know I have been lazy about logging lately, and even though it may be the case that I am not a veteran of lifting, I feel like I've got some tips and tricks to share and I love helping people.
The biggest difference in my training currently is that I'm not worrying about trying to cut to 195 by April. I either make it or I don't; my total will be my total, and I would like to be as strong as possible in my first meet. I'm around 215 right now.
Today's workout was very strange... I decided to bench, as it was an upper-body day, and then I came back to deadlift in a separate session about an hour and a half later.
