Apr. 20th, 2015 07:56 pmSo on the plus side, I'm really busy with good things. On the other, I'm so-so-so tired.
I'm just getting close enough to real weights to be tired and having to be careful on what I do. Minor gym note to point out progress and lack thereof:
Deadlifted 315 for 5 with no real problem. However my grip was not strong enough for more than one overhand grip pull at that weight...maybe 2.
Squatted 225 for 5, and sadly it was not easy. I feel like squats have a lot more moving parts, and I haven't quite regained my stride on them yet. I was doing 275 for 5 when I could hit 315, so with a month to go on the recovery slope perhaps I don't need to rush. Curiously when I did 5x5 at 135 my legs were sore for days afterwards.
My OP and bench are kinda lame, but slowly coming back to life. I guess you really do need to do leg work to get upper body gains.
But it's starting to lightning and thunder outside. I might treat myself to the first storm of the season by standing in the big window to watch the explosions in my olympic wrestling suit.
