August 3rd-6th Progress is showing.

Here's another post...I can feel the progress at this point, my reps are increasing and my weights are increasing, this is a danger point however, since on the 4th I pushed the weight up a little too much on bench and ended up having to skip the 5th, since my shoulder was sore...lesson learned for the 42 year old lifter...progress slower, don't get cocky.
