Since it was the first day of summer vacation, I decided to start a newish lifting program.  Because of my class schedule, I was only lifting 3x a week. But now that all I have to do is work, I'll have more time to focus on progressing on my lifts! yay!  So today was Day 1 of my 6-day split.  It was "medium...
