51 y/o
Former military
IT professional
Diabetes (under diet control (Keto and IF)
Was 320 lbs Dec 2017
Now 255 as of this AM
Bad shoulder (surgery suggested), neck (same), knees, ankles
Other issues I'd rather not say
Program chosen: Simple and sinister + steel Mace + later programming TBA (SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!!!)
Why: Want to finally achieve all SF certs but need to start smart and slow. I feel like accomplishing these eventually will help my outlook and self image, change my ailing system to something strong and viable.
First Workout: 8/14/2018
Warmup as described in book, prying squats are kinda painful!
Swings 20kg

TGU 11kg (felt safe on shoulder)
5 L to arch only

Shoulder pain low enough to tolerate, and strong enough to control with good packing. Strict breathing and concentrated hard on form.
Today: Lats sore (very)! But sore. Did RIS and SJ through workday. Felt pretty good.
I know my weights are sissy, but am being cautious. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
