Herniated disc + impinged radial nerve = 4 months off from actual heavy lifting. In the mean time I decided to give
advanced German volume training a shot. Adjusting to the shortened rest periods and high volume was tough for the first couple of weeks, but my work capacity and recovery are so much better than they used to be. I guess I'm hoping I can get to like 185x5x10 on the bench in the next two months, then return to strength training and smash 225x5.
As far as my back goes I'm just trying to take it slow and steady. Pretty soon I'll add in some light back squats and heavier deadlifts, so my 2 leg workouts will be:
1.
Speed Pulls vs Bands 10x2
Box squats superset with abs 10 rounds of 5
2.
Back squat 5x5
Deadlift 5x5 ramping
