**Wed 28 Jun: Squat - 210; Press - 95; Deadlift 230

**I moved across the country this past week. Sleep and nutrition have been elusive, and the move has been particularly stressful. I decided to start back today at 90% and work my way back up.

Have you found a certified Starting Strength Coach in your new location?

[jbinky]

No. There's a coach an hour away in Nashville. That's the closest, but I don't want to make multiple trips per week down there (yet). I found a spot here locally that has three power racks, so I think I'm going to give it a go on my own. I think I have enough of the principles and lifting techniques down at this point to feel comfortable by myself. I will likely make periodic appointments (once every couple of months?) with a coach just to check my technique on the lifts, though.
