Ok, I've been a lazy POS for the past 3 months and havent gone to the gym. I'll spare everyone the excuses and get down to business. I really need to get my ass in shape, Ive done Rippetoes's before and thought it would be a good program to get back into.

Im 30 yrs old
6'3"
195 lbs
20-21 %BF

My goals arent to get huge. Just leaner more muscular and healthy.
I started a calorie deficit about two weeks ago and I plan to stay that way for another two weeks in hopes of losing some winter fat. I eat alot of protein but ive been cutting out carbs. I think this might make my gains more difficult.

I thought Id start off low
So I started today with this:
Friday 3/14
Bench: 115 - 5x5 (it was pretty easy so I did 5 sets)
Squat: 135x10, 155 3x5
DL: 175 3x5

I didnt do any accessories...I was happy i got myself back in the gym.

I'm very motivated now and I think I'll make some good progress.

BTW I did the squats on a Smith machine... Does that suck?
