W3D1 Press

November 24, 2023

W3D1. Lost balance halfway through a set of bench. Got my composure and finished easy-peasy. 

Decided to throw in upright rows again so it's a bit of a "primer" day. I'll make some significant jumps in the coming weeks. 

Also starting to up the dead hang progression with just a barbell on the rack.

DB Bench 105e x 12/11/9

W1D2 Press

November 10, 2023

W1D2. First week back. Presses felt snappy at least. Week 1 weights but still pretty happy. 

Seated Press 190 x 10 x 1r

CG Bench 225 x 10, 9 - noticed I really tracked the weight down rather than over my shoulders on my first reps. Need to fix that.

Squat Acclimation

November 8, 2023

Acclimation. Not sure if it's smart since I haven't squatted in over a month but starting at 70% of my training max as if nothing happened… Feeling heavy. I'll acclimate with some good ol' ladders. 

Also just dropping to the box like a regular squat and wearing my squat shoes. 

SSB Squat 355 x 2/3/4/2/3/4/2/3

Seated CS Row 250 x 5, 275 x 5 x 5r

Naut Curl 130 x 2 x 8r

Grabbed 70% of my old training max and went with some ladders to get back at it. Over a month sin...

W1D1 Press

November 6, 2023

W1D1 restart. It's been about 3.5 weeks since I've gotten to lift so it'll be interesting to see how I feel in the coming days. Definitely feel it creeping in. Lost a few reps and weight on the assistance stuff. I haven't been eating properly for a few weeks either so that doesn't help much.

Seated Press 150 x 5 x 5r

DB Bench 105e x 2 x 8r

Rolling DB Skullcrushers 45e x 2 x 12r
