I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Phase 1 of 3
Week 4 of 12
Day 2 of 3
Split 1 of 2

Bench - 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 235 x 3, 235 x 3, 235 x 3
Inverted Row - BW x 5, BW x 5, BW x 5, BW x 5, BW x 5

Note: Started squats tonight but had a pain in my left hamstring. Going to start a split and see how that works. May work better due to time constraints. Inverted rows still needs work since I can't quite pull up all the way yet. Continue BW x 5 until I do a full row and then increase reps.

Next workout:
Squat - 275
Deadlift - 275

Note to self: Have not trained in a few weeks because a brown recluse spider bit me on my left hand. Hand still not healed enough to grip the bar to lift. Got lazy with the cardio and am going to start again tomorrow. Maybe this coming Monday I'll be ready to lift again.
