Default my starting strength log

i have been seeing a lot of stuff about the starting strength program so i decided to give it a try for the next two months and see what my results are.

A little bit about me
I used to work out religiously in high school for football and track. i graduated in 04 and have worked out off and on since, nothing really intense like i used to do in high school. I've actually lost weight since high school back then i was about 165-170 now I'm about 150 so i have lost pretty much all the muscle i accumulated. i had been working out for about two weeks straight before i found out about starting strength.

tried two different grips: one thumb back with the bar resting on the but of my palm, and two my thumb warped around the bar. it felt easier to do the second grip
lost count on second set may have done 5 or 6 reps
