Resurrection!
I'm finally done moving every other day and I happen to have access to a pretty spectacular workout facility so it's time to knock the dust off.  I'm weak as hell right now, but 3-4 weeks I should be back up to speed and from there....Bane status.

AM
Clean and Jerk
225 x 1, 1

Clean Pull
275 x 2, 2, 2

KB Snatch
77 x 3, 3, 3 per arm

PM
Back Squat
375 x 1, 1, 1 (v belt)

Bench
280 x 1

DB Bench (EMOM x 5 min)
90 x 5

Weighted Dips
2 chains x 10, 10, 10

I'm upset how depressingly shitty my overall strength is right now.  Before I left I was hitting 375 for triples with no belt or, something like that, and now I'm settling for singles with a belt.  So that sucks.  At the same time I know it's part of the game.  Strength is regained faster than it's gained and every time I've taken an unplanned break like this I've busted through previous numbers so I guess I just need to be patient.  Plus I now have the advantage of an infinite supply of free Myoplex shakes O_o

 On a more positive note my bench strength has inexplicably improved.  A week or two ago I hit 225 for 10 or something like that and today I put up 280 without much struggle.  I should have gone for more probably, but bench is one of those lifts where it's really easy to convince myself to "end on a good one."

Jog 1/2 mile.

*I would like to caveat this jogging thing.  The treadmills in this place are some self propelled deal.  It feels like running uphill with resistance.  It took me about four and a half minutes to run a half mile and it was tough.  So if I post running times and they are astronomically shitty...that's why.  It'll be good training though.

  1. Glorious facilities equals: "all your weights are belong to MT!!!" The TRIAD is back. Joe is getting it in too! Destroy them all (Iron Throne Style). Random, congratulatory post out...NQ
