    It's time to start logging again.

    My knees were pretty badly injured at the end of my last push, which was almost a year ago now, and I got severely demotivated. Just as they were getting a little better, I hurt my *other* shoulder so notions of doing some upperbody focus were also sidelined. I'm feeling better now for the most part, so it's time to start keeping track of things again and get my act together.

    I've periodically tested 1RM and done random "squat a bunch of times" or "do some overhead squat this week" types of workouts, but never properly training, so I'm facing a pretty massive reset.

    I have some aesthetic goals this time around so I'm not really sure exactly what I will be doing as far as programming goes, although I'm open to suggestions. Mostly I want to make sure that my chest sticks out as least as much as my gut!
