OK I’m back from visiting the in-laws for a few days and am in desperate need to get back into my routine.  Hopefully this will take this week.  Still doing the 5×5 workout plan–I should have started this week instead of last week becasue my Monday will be one day ahead of Wednesday and Friday, but oh well.  Happy Monday y’all

OK so, I’ve decided to start on the 5×5 program starting tomorrow.  I’m going to use the Excel spreadsheet on MadCow’s website but also hope to track it on this site’s work log feature.  I’m also starting to think more along the lines of bulking along with my goal to gain 10# of LM. Wish me luck!

My back is doing great thanks to those who’ve asked.  I’m planning on starting the Rippetoe workout plan on Monday and also plan to allow myself a little more in the calorie department, so I’m looking forward to that.  Does anyone have any suggestions on this program to make it more worth my time?  Thanks!

OK, got back to it after a 2 week trip.  The back is feeling good as I’m taking special care to stretch and do some work on back/abs every day.  MichaelJazz and other have suggested a massage therapist…that sounds good just in general and I’m strongly considering it.  However I’m going to try to stay away from the chiropractor.  Anyway I did chest/back on Monday, Bis/Tris today and saw a little loss of strength after the break but I’m going to keep at it!  Talk to y’all later.  DA
