    My motivation here is to keep myself accountable. I feel that I've progressed OK but I might have gone overboard on the eating part of The Program and put on too much bodyfat. I had a two week break in August and got covid on a separate occasion which combined probably took off three weeks of progress. My form on the deadlift also sucked for a while and I kept resetting it to try to get better.

    I've never strength trained before (went to the gym years ago but never stuck with it and didn't have a plan). I'm not very active besides playing disc golf and going on walks.

    I was tracking my calories at the beginning and was eating 3500+ calories daily with lots of ground beef, steaks, milk, rice, potatoes, juice and vegetables. I got lazy and stopped tracking but I'm starting to track again because I'm feeling like I weigh too much for how weak I am.

    I'm 31 and 5'11".

    Here are my starting numbers:

    Date: 5/20/22

    Weight: 185 lbs
    Waist: 35.5"
    Hips: 38"
    Chest: 37.5"
    Arms: 12.5"
    Thighs: 20"

    Squat: 125 lbs
    Press: 65 lbs
    Bench: 100 lbs
    Deadlift: 175 lbs

    As of 10/1/22
    ----------------
    Weight: 214 lbs (+29 lbs)
    Waist: 39" (+3.5")
    Hips: 41" (+3)
    Chest: 42.5" (+5")
    Arms: 14" (+1.5")
