25 Mar Dain Soppelsa’s Training Log for 3/20 and 3/22

I’ve been doing very light workouts for about 2 weeks and after talking with Dan, we decided it was time to start an off-season. He’s writing my program again. We’re trying to improve my start in the squat, my start in the bench and the middle of my deadlift. I’m staying away from the straight bar for a while to give my arms a break. Here’s what it looked like for the first couple training sessions this week.
