Bench:242 5/5/5/5/5
Pullups 6/6/6

I have an awful lot to write about today, but I'm sure somebody out there worked harder than me which pisses me off. I had to go home from work because I was puking and running a fever. I tried keeping my meals down but it just wasn't happening. It sucks that this happens now because I have a huge research report due tom and I will be up almost all night again. I wish I could get more sleep but i keep my priorities in line. Anyways I felt like complete shit training and had to puke in a trash can twice between bench sets and after squats. The two other people in the gym already think I am crazy for lifting barbells consistently now they think im bulimic, o well no excuses.

Thanks for the posts. I am your size in terms of height, but maybe a little heavier at 220 now. I have been doing starting strength for almost 8 weeks. Question, what are your warm-up sets like now, especially for the press and bench? I think you have made some good progress on most of the lifts, squat is a little hard to tell given the on and off knee injuries.
