Success: At least I'm not gaining, and I hammered out 3 full squats at 500 at the end of my workout last week and they felt GREAT. Tomorrow's deadlift day, and I've got some energy to burn!0 -

Exercise: managed only 1 workout on the elliptical but I did accomplish my goal of going to the YMCA to research the prices of joining.
