I don't know what I'm doing. I do know that I'm going to keep tracking calories. My current target is 2350 +/- 50 kcal. According to people I trust this should be the right amount of food for me to maintain my current body weight, and also gain strength via the Starting Strength novice linear progression. I also know that I'm going to continue to run the Starting Strength novice linear progression. I'm couple of weeks into it. I should say that I'm doing what Rip and other SS gurus call "NWTFP". This stands for "Not Working The F#(&!g Program.". I've modified the program by committing the sin of not doing power cleans. Sorry Rip. Except I'm not really sorry. Instaed I'm doing a light deadlifts day, where I do more sets at a lower weight. I think this will serve to improve my deadlifts. Later I'll also add chinups and barbell rows for additional upper back work, per the original program, and also in keeping with the intermediate program I'm working toward. I also have several ongoing projects that will need as much attention as I can devote to them. This includes refinishing my daughter's desk and preparing my basement for drainage work in February. But beyond that, I have no idea what I'm doing.
