    Don't be surprised if you gain some weight by following this program. You won't get fat because most of the gains will be muscle. Welcome.

    Sunday March 20th workout:
    Squat
    2x5x45 (bar)
    1x5x60
    1x5x70
    1x5x80

    3x5x95:
    5x95
    5x95
    3x95 (failed at 3)

    3x8x65

    Press:
    Practiced with the bar alone and didn't finish my sets.
    It was a squat intensive workout as I really need to work on my form and learn the proper technique. I'm learning a lot and slowly but surely on my way to getting stronger. I'm glad to be learning the right way to yield the best results!
    More to come...
