    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

Just got back from vacation. Did a few light workouts a week, and ran on the treadmill at the hotel. Going to attempt Smolov over the next few months and see if I can get my squat up so it is more in proportion to my bench.

Used the template on this site, and based on some of the comments I saw here, started slightly below my actual one rep max, when using the template, to make sure I did not burn out to soon.

Monday, Jan 12

Legs are a little tired, but workout not too hard. Suspect doing squats again tomorrow will be tough.
