Operation Strong Like Bull, Day 1, Take 2

That's right. You heard me. We started over. 3 important lessons learned here.
  1. Read the book before starting
  2. Don't read the internet instead of the book.
  3. And don't move weight just to move weight.
So, we started over. At 70% of our 1 RM on ALL movements. We will add 2.5% either each session or each week, both of which are acceptable in the Starting Strength Bible.
Back Squat: 3x5 at 103 (33x5, 33x5, 83x3, work sets)
Bench Press: 3x5 at 63 (33x5, 33x5, 43x5, work sets)
Ring Rows: 3x5 at BW
3x5 TTB, or in my case legs as high as I can get them, slowly, deliberately, with no kip.
3x8 Back extensions


It sucked to start over. But I'd rather fix the issues now, and train the right muscles.
This is a bull



We have a long way to go.....
