About 6 weeks into programming and am doing "phase 1" of programming. Feeling good and moderating my rowing/biking as needed. Because I porked out I had to get a new belt. Best belts are awesome and worth every penny. Can't wait to get into my old belt though. I have a pretty fucked up schedule and just try to lift when I can. At least I am not on night shift any more. That totally killed every attempt at lifting last year. New baby and home is awesome though.
Thanks guys for all the well wishes...

Ran out of time for the row so I blasted out a sprint to get some sort of HIIT. Workouts hitting 2 hours even and thats a long time for a new dad...
Per usual DL is leading the charge in driving the gains. I am having a tough time adapting the new belt to my DL. Gotta keep working on it.
Been a busy couple weeks and have just been maintaining 7/17's workout until I free up enough to launch again.
8/9
Row: 500m @ 2:25/500

Bench: 157.5# 3x5
DL: 280# 1x5
Press: 112.5# 3x5
Been rough couple of weeks between major work commitments and family so I am happy with my progress so far. I am amazed I did not backslide during this time and although I did not make any major gains I was able to hold onto what I achieved so far to date. This is not normally my patterns where family/work throws me off and I return to a non lifting baseline. I am giving myself a big high five for this.
The 8/9 post above is actually 8/8...Lalala

Abroller 3x10 (holy shit)
Took me 5 days to recover from ab roller. what a horrendous device. Adding some random optional exercises to the regimen to add a little fun variety. The main workout will be the same per usual.

Ab roller seriously kicked my ass. I went for a run instead. Couch to 5k week 3 pushing my baby in a running stroller. Truly enjoyed the experience.
Yup! New 10 month old little girl. (Yes I have a shotgun and a backhoe and not afraid to use it boys....). First year with a child is seriously survival mode but were getting through it.
Just catching up on my log.

Run Couch to 5k by Podrunner. Love running with my little girl and seeing her experience the world.

Press is marching. It is the hardest lift for me to raise and I am more proud of that weak press than I am of my DL. Overall, its been a good couple of weeks and I am happy that while my progress has been slow, I have not stalled or stopped due to my crazy life schedule. Not bad for a 41 year old pregeezer.
