Week 1b (Light Day)
Pause Squat 240x6, 240x6
Press 120x6, 120x6, 120x6, 120x6
BB Rows 95x8, 115x8, 125x8, 125x8

Squats felt great. I'm thinking that going back to 3x week squatting is really gonna help out.

Finally broke down and started Garage Gym Warrior (GGW).
Reasons: I like squatting 3x a week. Wanted to build some momentum going into new year, next meet is Aug 2018. Want to lose weight starting in January and being on a HLM will help with that.

Good luck with the new program. Interested to see what Andy's programming looks like and how this goes.

Week 1c (Medium Day, [M Sq, H B, H DL])
Squat 260x6, 260x6, 260x6
Bench 200x6, 200x6, 200x6, 200x6
Deadlift 305x6

Good workout although I may need to switch Med Squat to HBBS or Light Sq to Front Sq to save my elbows. I'm going to really work hard this next week on my squat grip and see if I can figure something out, doesn't really bother me now but this is the intro week...

GGW? I did that program not long ago. First 3 weeks were nice. Next 3 weeks were moderate. Weeks 7-9 were very tough!
I made great gains on my deadlift, a bit on my squat and a tiny bit on my presses. I liked the straightforward layout. I found I hate 6s!

Hope you're enjoying it too!

Squat 280x4, 280x1 <---- tore/pulled adductor.
Press 135x4, 135x4, 135x4, 135x4

Not much to say. Bummed and disheartened. Was just getting some momentum going again. This time its in the left leg as opposed to all the hamstring problems with right leg. So I guess I'm shelving the GGW for awhile and going back to Baker Barbell Club stuff for upper body while I rehab my squats.
