Dave's Not Here

Today’s Pain of the Day was weird. It was heavy legs, but I had some squat issues again. I guestimated my 5RM of squats to be about 225#, but, when I tried it, I started getting pains in my lower back / hips.  The weight felt ok, but my form must be off or something.

I’m seriously considering starting the Stronglifts.com program after my trip to SLC.  But, I need to get just a bit of metrics in to make sure I’m not losing muscle on my diet.  The woes of a stats freak . . .
