Update

Training is going OK - I finished up my "intensification" phase and am in a lower intensity phase for the next few weeks. I unfortunately failed at 345 on my 3rd rep, though the fact that I got it for 2 was, in and of itself, a victory, as it's a PR. I also hit 275x3 on bench. The diet is going OK. The scale is, ever so slowly, moving down, and I am, ever so slowly, getting leaner. It's a treacherous process, as the rewards are not immediate, and not a day goes by when I look down and don't think any progress has been made. But I must stick with it and move forward, modifying as necessary going forward. I should upload progress pics sometime soon, and I might.
