This is my first post for the 2012 training/competition season! ...and I still have yet to decide on a show...most likely sometime in June (hmm, commitment issues?).
Regardless, I've made a vow to myself that I will update this blog on a more daily basis, and not only will I track my progress in the gym, but my diet, and any other training related stuff.
So far, so good. I've started the year out strong with a productive January. I successfully completed a round of Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 strength training routine, which has abled me to reach new PR's on a weekly basis. I LOVE seeing results in the gym, and it is what keeps me motivated!
Today was back and hams - my favorite! :

Barbell Bent-over Row
warm-up

60 x 8
Barbell Stiff-leg Deadlift
