So... I started over.
Last we was an all over bad week. I really wanted to start the program so I did on Tuesday. I was seriously in pain until Saturday so I didn't do any other work outs other than walking for the rest of the week.

Why you always gotta bust my balls?
Why? Because I know you really want to help and I want your help, just not your debates. They are confusing and annoying. This is a very general statement and is directed at the "experts" on all threads. I am always making bets with myself on which page you guys are going to start going back and forth with scientific…
