FatChocobro's Log - Starting Strength & Starting Over

About Me

 

Hello everyone. I've been following the site for the longest time and have posted very minimally in the forums up until now. Let me start by talking a little bit about myself. I discovered my love for weight lifting back in February of 2012 and jumped from program to program. At first, I had no idea what I was doing or even where to being, so I'm choosing Starting Strength as my first weight training program. I want to establish a baseline for myself so after I finish with SS, I will have an idea of where I am strength-wise and will be able to carry what I've learned and how far I've pushed myself into other programs in the future.
