Week 1: 13 - 17 August

A slight change to the plan. Included some 5x5 and dropped Press, as my left shoulder is unhappy with it.
Tired of always having one shoulder or the other complaining. I must be getting old or soft. Possibly both.
With the current split some exercises will be done twice a week. Once 531, and once 5x5.

Missing In Action

Blink and you‘ve lost a month.
Bueller said it best: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don‘t stop and look around every once in a while, you just might miss it.“
The truth of that statement continues to apply all these years later. In fact, I think life moves even faster now than old Ferris could have imagined. Which is why I keep having periods of MIA on my blog.
In an attempt to fix this I have procured a blogging app for my phone. Hopefully this means that I will be able to be more frequent with my posts. When I look at all my posts at the end of the year, I want to be able to check my progress on 531, without having gaps.
So, first I need to post my missing weeks, and then get ack on the blogging saddle.

Food for thought: There is very little that is truly new in the weight lifting game. Why do people spend so much time ad effort chasing the latest fad. Where could you be, and what could you achieve if you used that time and effort to work hard on the big, basic principles instead?
