Fuckaround-itis

I can probably be accused of a bit of fuckaround-itis over the last year.  I was thinking about it, and part of the problem is that I'm mediocre at everything strength related, so whatever I'm playing around with that day is what I want to train for.  Before coming to our weightlifting gym(which has turned into a hard core general strength sports gym) I was a bicyclist, soccer player and whatever else that had to do with not being strong, so I had no base of strength.  Oh I also stabbed myself in the biceps on accident two years ago so my left arm is even weaker.  I came into the gym, and since i'm a pretty fast learner so I hit my strength limits relatively quickly in the Oly lifts and whatever looked cool in the strongman bin of toys, but I never really spent much time developing my base of strength.  Late last year I messed my shoulder up pretty bad, so that was the first time I spent any real time just focusing on getting stronger, because anything quick sent shooting pain through my shoulder.  After a couple of months and a lot of shoulder rehab work, I had become somewhat less weak, and signed up for an Oly meet, so stupidly I stopped doing strength work and just did the quick lifts.  At first it was great, I was stronger and hit new PR's, powering things I could barely full lift before, and I carried it into the meet well.  After the meet though, school got in the way and my strength tanked again.  I tried to pull 365 from an 18'' deadlift yesterday and it wouldn't move and I just wanted to die, because if you cant deadlift theres no reason to be alive right Jon Pall?

Why am I babbling about this?  Because this is my statement of intent.  No more fucking around, trying whatever seems fun that day and bouncing from discipline to discipline.  Today I started the first actual linear progression I've ever actually done, and I'm going to get fucking strong the old fashioned way.  I'm going to squat, deadlift, press and row my fucking face off until I have useful legs and a back that can actually hold position.  I backed the weights off and will be drilling technique like Mike Tuchsherer.  Here is the humbling day 1:

Backsquat: 66kg 3x5 (I backed the squat way off because i'm working on fixing some core control dysfunction)
Benchpress: 75 kg 3x5
Pendlay Row: 44 kg 3x8
Chinups: 3x2 with a band
Curls: 20kg bar 3x15 (yeah, F you, I want to look like I lift and have a biceps injury to overcome, so I'm going to add in bodybuilding stuff)
