Notes:

Reading my recent journals, I noticed I've been mentioning how hard my workouts have been. Broken record. Of course they're hard, it should go without saying. It's hard work and you all know it, so I'm not going to mention it anymore.

I decided to post my warm-up routine this time to be sure I'm on track.

Question: In the Starting Strength program, is it OK to carry over a weight to the next workout and not increase the load even if I didn't miss any reps the workout before? The reason I ask is do not use a spotter and if I lift to failure, I'll need help. I know I have the safety bars on the squat rack, but I'm not comfortable using them except for an emergency. I think some of my motivation for my squats has been to get the rep done so I don't need the safety bars. But that can't go on for ever and I know I'm real close to not finishing a squat rep.
