today was the first day i got my heart rate up to 150 on purpose. i was a little worried at first as it stayed there for about 5 minutes during my workout but then dropped back to normal

probably my first intense workout in 4 years after having anxiety about getting my heart rate up since my episode 4 years ago

Weeks 1-4 were light, and culminated with AMRAP sets. Squat 315x10 (rep PR), bench 210x9 (mad at not getting 10), and deadlift 395x8 (meh...not a rep PR but it came after those squat and bench sets so not terrible) so okay so far. But weeks 9-12 look murderous, we'll see if I survive.

And I've somehow lost 2 pounds on this program. Not good. Everybody says you have to eat like crazy to survive this program so I have some work to do.

great. job on the squat and deadlift. those two exercises scare me because if you dont have perfect form you can do a lot more damage than good

But he's 14 now and he works out every day. He's my height now. I've still got about thirty pounds on him but his physique is looking good. Like muscular, V-shaped torso. I can't let this kid beat me
