This thread is a place for me to record my and track my progress in the gym in 2018, mostly for the purpose of personal accountability. I've been working out semi-seriously for a few years, but I've never had the results I desired due to inconsistent workout frequency, poor diet and booze. That will change this year and posting on this thread will keep me on track.
The core of my workouts will include squats, deadlifts, bench press, shoulder press and pull ups at low reps and high weight. I will also include dumbbell work at higher reps.
If anyone has any comments or suggestions, please feel free to let me know.

Today was my first day back to the gym after about 2 months due to a back injury and traveling, so I eased myself into it with a quick, light squat workout.
