Haven't lifted since 17 days before this, so I took it easy. Didn't want to get so sore that I can't get be productive next workout (I learned this the hard way from coming back from short breaks).

The squat was a 3RM lol, down from 365 (edit: now I remember I only did 2 reps. wouldnt have gotten the 3rd). The bench was a 6RM, down from 225. I'll get it back quickly though. It's mostly CNS strength.

Also from now on I'm going to plan de-loads into my workouts. Every third week, for the first half of the week I may just work up to a top set on every exercise and that's it. One work set. I lift mon/tue/thu/fri so that should be good.

Damn i'm excited.

Haven't updated. I finished off the last week's Friday workout and it went well.

Took a week off after that. Been getting terrible sleep and stuff. Also lost motivation.

Shoulda lifted yesterday (monday) but i'll lift today. maybe full body, maybe not. idn. will get shit in gear next week. hopefully holidays and stuff dont cut into my lifting.
