Quick note on the formatting:
It goes “sets x reps @ weight (in pounds)” so 2 x 5 @ 45 would be 2 sets, 5 reps using 45 lbs in total (weight of the bar included).

SquatÂ
2 x 5 @ 45
1 x 5 @ 80
1 x 3 @ 120
1 x 2 @ 160
3 x 5 @ 205
Shoulder press
2 x 5 @ 45
1 x 5 @ 55
1 x 3 @ 70
3 x 5 @ 100
Power...

Must be [this] tall to ride
Howdy all,
Life has been quite eventful since I last tried to do the blogging thing. I’m now married to the best wife ever - Rhonda and father to beautiful twin girls -Reese and Naia. What more could a guy ask for?
That’s it for now.
It’s feeling kind of good to be back. Please enjoy the ride.
