I reset some of my weight lifting goals, now that I’ve been doing this for a few weeks and have a better sense (a) where I am now, and (b) what kind of progress I can expect.  The new goal date for all five benchmark exercises (squat, bench press, barbell rows, overhead press, biceps curl) is March 31, 2008.  The goals are not overly ambitious, I think, but that’s appropriate considering I also am trying to control my weight and get back into running, two things that don’t necessarily go with trying to improve weight lifting strength.

In my workouts I’ll emphasize these exercises and probably add in regular and straight leg deadlifts to make sure I’m working my back and hamstrings as well.
