J2K - Training Log
All sessions won't get posted. I've enjoyed the insights on other logs in the forums, and mine will be mainly for discussions about training. My own progress/status/milestones will be noted intermittently.
No personal background in barbell training, with prior athletic/fitness experience limited to running, little league, shotokan and body weight exercises.
Starting Strength was something I came across probably from the Blogfather. First purchased "Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training" in 2011 as a gift for someone who was lifting. Attended a Starting Strength seminar with Coach Nick Delgadillo in 2014.
Over four years after buying the book and nineteen months after going to the seminar, I finally got in the gym on December 31, 2015 ("as a Masters lifter"). First workout was SQ: 85x5x3; OP: 65x5x3; DL: 135x5.
Many stops and starts since then.
