Lifting after not lifting

 Last Saturday I got back from two weeks in Florida (for work). No lifting then. Barely any swimming, even, as I had a nasty cold for three days. And was busy. 

Upon returning decided to go back to HLM. The 4-day thing was fun and all, but I need more swimming in my life. And I felt I was losing my 1RMs. So back to HLM it is.

Monday, 8 April:

  • SQ: 1x5 @215#
  • OHP: 2x5 @95#
  • DL: 1x5 @225#
The squat was hard. Been too long. Next Monday 3x5 @215#. The DL also heavy. I'll get back soon, maybe add 10# next week. 

Wednesday, 10 April:
  • SQ: 2x5 @195#
  • OHP: 2x5 @85#
  • Super-set:
    • Curls: 3x10 @45#
    • db triceps extension: 3x10 @30#
The super-set was so much fun. Arms hurt a lot after.

Saturday, 13 April:
  • SQ: 2x5 @205#
  • OHP: 3x3 @95#
  • Super-set:
    • Curls: 3x10 @45#
    • Pull-ups w/bands: 3x8
