On Monday, I plan on starting the Bill Starr Intermediate 5x5 program, since my weakest lifts are the bench, deadlift, military press, and squat.
Here is today's workout:

Thanks, my current goal is to improve my Military Press, and also to get my BSD over 900.

Hi Sampson,

I'm a log junkie, and was looking over yours. I noticed that your squat and bench weights are almost the same! Have you been benching longer than squatting?

As for the calves, I wouldn't worry about not working them with all the squatting. Go up a little on the toes when you go up on the squats and you'll feel it!

Looks good!

I've only been lifting for 2 years, and that's just how the relative muscle strength is right now.
