    I've been in and out of the gym since I was a sophomore in High School, (mostly doing random bodybuilding style splits) but discovered Starting Strength at the end of February this year and decided to give it a run. All-time PRs are now being set in all lifts every session, so I wanted to start my training log to keep track of my progress in the forums.

    Stats:
    Age, Sex: 31, M
    Height: 6'0"
    Weight: 285 (Down from 315 at the end of Feb.)

    Today's workout:
    Squat: 260 x 5 x 3
    Press: 125 x 5 x 3
    Lat Pull Downs: 175 x 5 x 3 (no chins yet, working up to them)

    Today's workout:
    Deadlift: 325 x 5
    Bench: 205 x 5 x 3 (Last rep on each set was very grindy, probably time to start microloading)
    Squat: 225 x 5 x 3 (Doing the advanced novice light squat day)

    Today's workout:
    Squat: 265 x 5 x 3
    Press: 127.5 x 5 x 2, 4 x 1. Aaaaaalmost had that last rep but it started falling after 2 long seconds at the sticking point. Considering I almost failed the 5th rep of the first set, I feel pretty good about getting to 14/15 total reps.
    Lat Pull Downs: 180 x 5 x 3

    Welcome. Do you have the basic books?

    Thanks Carson! I do have both books and have read them (though not thoroughly enough yet I'm sure).

    This morning's workout:
    Deadlift: 330 x 5 x 1. This felt better than my deadlift has for the last month. Very happy about how this went.
    Press: 127.5 x 5 x 3. Got all the reps this time and the last one wasn't even much of a grind.
    Squat: 225 x 5 x 3. Really like having a "light" squat day in between Monday and Friday.

    Does the book call for squats to be last on the light day?
