    Yeah freshman year is very hard, especially with work and friends and all that; it is hard to find time to work out. Not to mention the freshman 15 haha! I gained that and then another 10 pounds! Wish I had spent more time committed to working out then eating "fat sandwiches" as they are known at my school. But good for you trying to make it a priority in your life.

    So you've gained a few pound in the last couple of weeks? That is good man! I look forward to seeing how you progress in this thread. And a lot of the people commenting here are also MFP friends of mine and they really know what they are talking about so definitely listen to them :smile:

    So if today had been another Pull day instead of rest day, how are muscles recovering so far for the pull muscles?
    Soreness gone by this point, or still enough to recovery from?
