Tad's Training Log

[Tad_T]

I am starting over again after some injuries and an extended recovery period and layoff. I started off light and will keep leaning into it.

I have used the Starting Strength program previously and I believe in it.

I am a 46 year old male.

So, that brings my journal up to date and me out of lurker status.

Welcome!

Good looking lifts. any recovery issues with losing a few pounds?

[DV]

I think I've seen another log of yours elsewhere a few years back. I'll follow along here - you got some impressive progress (again - if you are the same guy). Congratulations of getting back into it.

Thanks, Geoff.

No recovery issues, yet. My weight is just bouncing around a few pounds. Just a litttle recomposition going on.

I might be the same guy. I ran a log on another site for about three years, under the same user name. I had good success using the the principles from SS and PP. The doc just cleared me to start lifting again a couple of months ago, so I am having to start over again. I am trying to be smart and not hurt myself and just work back into it.
