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.

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.

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.

Chins: 21.25 x 5 x 3
Light Squat
Bench: 60 x 3 x 10
Press: 50 x 5, 5, 10
Chins: 21.25 x 5 x 3

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.
