Same Antho, new log. I’ve grown as a lifter, and I don’t feel connected with the old one. Seeing it makes me feel stagnant, weak. So, in the spirit of growth and renewal, strength and wisdom, I’m starting a new log to chronicle my new exploits, such as they are.

In the long term, I want to keep improving my numbers on these lifts, and I want to improve my body composition. My circumstances are a bit restrictive (not an excuse, just a factor to be considered). I’m in the third year of a PhD program, and I have access to the campus gym, but it is prohibitively far away for me to make extensive use of it (1-1.5 hr. round trip). So, my plan for now is to use that gym once a week and to supplement that with 2-3 workouts at home. I have a pull up bar in the garage, as well as two kettle bells: one 80 lb. and one 50 lb. I’m trying to set realistic short term goals and optimistic long term goals.
