Re-Cap

Haven't logged my last 2 sessions so here they are:

Other day:

Benched .77.5 x 5, 5, 9. This was fairly easy.

Sunday:

Press: 52.5 x 5, 5, 8. This was pretty easy too.

These were a great couple of sessions. Not because I am anywhere near any sort of PR, but just because they both felt easier than the last and that's what it's all about at this stage.

I'm managing the max rep set which I have learnt is certainly the wise thing to do. For example, after my 75 x 10 max rep bench set a couple of weeks ago, the following press set was markedly more difficult so I did the straight 3x5.


"Manage 4 Results". That's probably a training motto a lot of you guys could do well to go by.

In other news, I didn't squat today because I'm simply too sore from Saturday's game. Figure I may as well get an extra days rest in a capitalise on a better squat performance tomorrow.

Wont be doing max rep sets. Maybe sometimes...if I'm feeling fresh.

Squatting Was Hard

Squat: 130x5 (too heavy) 120x2x5. No way my legs have fully recovered from the Saturday game. Hamstrings and back have been so sore today.

Abs.

'Ole Fashion GSLP Reset

Yep, I've reset. And I'm back on a linear progression. I think this might be the most logical way to go about getting back lost strength.

Press: 50 x 5, 5, 10

Chins: 21.25 x 5 x 3

Light Squat

Bench: 60 x 3 x 10

Slow - But Steady Progress

Squat: 162.5 x 1. Quite hard.

Bench: 95 x 1. Went for 2, almost got it but needed spotter.

Rows

DB Press

Chins.

I am making some progress which in encouraging. However, I just feel like I need more volume on pressing exercises. I think I'll do a couple of back off sets after the top set on bench and press from now on.
