I started a workout log in another forum before and it was great for getting feedback, so I'll start one here. Feel free to respond. I like hearing advice from people who know what they're talking about.
As I mentioned in my intro post, I'm working at a physically demanding job (produce department at a grocery store). It's a lot of forearm and leg work. It's also a bit of shoulder work, especially if I'm picking up compost off the pallet to put in the dumpster. Most boxes are 40 to 50 lbs, by the way.
I am...: 29, 5'11", 172lbs, ~15% bf
My goal for the next month is to build a better foundation for my strength, because my previous foundation was (as I'm sure you'll see) very lacking. I'm going back to basics and just focusing on the regular exercises for muscle groups until I can at least lift significant triple digits. I am not taking any gear.
It is Lent right now, so I figure cutting is a much better idea, despite my goals. Everybody seems to agree that most of this is your diet, so... bulking isn't really an option during this time. I'm planning on cardio and shorter workouts (but still increasing volume).
(Remind me if I'm wrong but notation is usually weight x reps x sets. Also, I'm in the habit of writing "+bar" instead of adding the weight of the bar.)

Workout Log for 3/9/21:
Notes: I didn't notice the time and so this was cut short. The squats and strict press are accurate as far as what I can do. I cut the DLs short because I needed to leave.
Squats 110+barx6x2
Strict Press 20+barx5x2
Deadlifts 140+barx3x2
Achievements: Before working at the grocery store, I could barely lift the bar on its own in a strict press (seriously, maybe 2 reps). Now I can lift 20lbs on top of the bar now.
Workout Log for 3/11/21:
Notes: After work, didn't eat beforehand
Bench Press 90x8x3
Cable Rows 85x12x2
Wide Grip BB Curls 40x10x2
Close Grip BB Curls 40x8x2
Lateral Raises 10x15
Calf Raises 270x10x3
Hyperextensions 15
