    Glad you're back to lifting

    A month or two is pretty quick to get hormones back on track. You'll be back up to old numbers pretty quick I think.

    I was suprised it was as quick as it was. Some days I have my doubts, but the bloodwork says it's good. Lol

    I was pretty sore after my first day back & busy, so didnt make it back until Friday. Went again yesterday.

    Squat: 75x3x5
    Press: 50x3x5
    DL: 105x1x5

    starting strength coach development program
    I am back... 8 years later. Surprised that I was able to find this old log. Since running SS the first time 8 years ago, I have f'd around with a bunch of other forms of exercise & various lifting programs, plus dealt with some surgeries & chronic illnesses. I have been consistently lifting for the last year & a half - first with a 531 program, then with an online (non-SS) coach who had me on a strength + hypertrophy program. After feeling like I wasn't getting anywhere, and possibly going backwards, decided to start anew with the basics & run an NLP for as long as possible to squeeze out some strength gains. Kind of sad to see that I'm pretty much where I was 8 years ago, but all the more reason to focus on consistency this year!

    Started SS on 12/26. 4'11" female, 40 yo. BW hovering around 127-128, up from about 123-125 because holidays (close to 30 lbs lighter than 8 years ago). Currently counting macros/calories: 2210 cal: 275c/70f/120p.

    Week 1, Day 1: SQ 3x5, 120#; Press 3x5, 50#; DL 1x5, 145#
    Week 1, Day 2: SQ 3x5, 125#; BP 3x5, 65#; DL 1x5, 150#
    Week 1, Day 3: SQ 3x5, 130#; Press 3x5, 55#; DL 155# 1x5
    (I *think* this is what I did on day 2/3 - didn't save notes on it!)

    Week 2, Day 1: SQ 3x5, 135#, BP 3x5, 70#; BB row 3x5, 70# (I've done plenty of PCs in the past. Zero desire to ever do them again, so NDTP here.)
    Week 2, Day 2: SQ 3x5 110# (light squat days on day 2); Press 3x5 57.5#; DL 1x5 160#
    Week 2, Day 3: SQ 1x2 140# (FAIL); BP 3x5 72.5#; BB Row 3x5 75#

    Week 3, Day 1: SQ 3x5 137.5#; Press 3x5 60#; DL 1x5 165#
    Week 3, Day 2: SQ 3x5 110#; BP 3x5 73.5#; BB Row 3x5 77.5#
    Week 3, Day 3: SQ 2x5, 1x2 140# (FAIL): Press 3x5 62.5#; DL 1x5 170#

    Week 4, Day 1 (1/16): SQ 3x5 140#; BP 1x4, 4x3 74.5#; BB Row 3x5 80#
