Hickory's Journal: Part II

[Hickory]

I haven't kept up with a journal in a couple of months now, at least since school let out. I've been having motivation/health problems the last couple of weeks and decided it was time to start anew. My current stats are as follows.

age: 18
height: 5'11
weight: 176 lbs.

When I quit my regular workout routine a couple of months back my big 3 maxes were as follows.

bench: 225
squat: 305
deadlift: 308 x 6

and my last pics taken a few months back:
