John's Starting Strength Log
I’ve wanted to do the Starting Strength program for several months now, but the complete lack of an appropriate gym that I can get to has prevented me from doing so. Luckily, Santa Claus brought me a power rack and 400 pounds of weights.
Brief background: I’m 36, 5'10" and about 176 pounds. I spent my early 20’s in the Marine Corps and now I rot in a cubicle. I’ve been Crossfitting for about a year in the gym where I work, but as it has no barbell or rack, I’ve been fairly limited in some of the heavy work. Crossfit has been great, and I really like the workouts, but I really want to get strong, so here I am. I’ll be working out in my garage. I live in Connecticut, so its pretty cold in there.
