I've been at it for a month now basically, and I'm down 5 lbs but my shorts are pretty damned loose on me. I'm a belt notch tighter for sure. I've been doing squats on the rack as part of my leg workout that also includes lunges while carrying 35 lb plates in each hand. I don't squat alot. I do three sets of 8-10 with 185 lbs. Just in the past few days, a problem has developed. I've got what I can best describe as a sciatic pain in my lower right "upper glute" that will run down the back and side of my right leg. It hurt so much last night that I had to lay down for an hour on my back on the floor just to make it stop. I do stretch before my workouts, and I do cardio for 30 minutes before lifting, so I think the muscles are nice and warmed up. It feels better today, but it's still there, and I don't want to make it worse. DAmmit!
