Scot's training journal

[Scotsman]

Since I've been asked to start one up again here goes. I'll give a quick preface to what's been going on. In mid december I was involved in a very bad auto accident after a city bus ran a redlight and smashed the truck I was driving. I was just starting to lift again in March when I nearly tore my right foot off during some drunken shenannigens. I pretty much couldn't walk for about a month. This last week makes my eighth week in a row back in the gym. I'll start with this week and keep it going from there.

No the rack didn't break. I'm still a long ways away from where I was last year. I was managing reps with 950 on rack pulls.

The gym is called better bodies, it's more of a pretty boy gym, but they let us deadlift and throw chalk at each other.LOL
