Going a lot smoother now. Still have weight at 225. The one leg being weaker was most likely my knee pain I have been having. Seems to be feeling better. Lots of advice, some conflicting.
I hate lifting with shoes. Guess I may need to look into it. I don't think that wearing a really tight lifting belt is the answer. Seems like a band aid for a weaker core. I have been doing more core work. May take a bit to see if it helps. But, I plan on very slowly increasing weight. Like, maybe 5 pounds every 2 weeks. This should give my legs and core enought time to get stronger.
Edit - by the way, I really am not going bald. My wife is just a really bad barber. Have no idea how she manages to color halfy hairs gray either.
