Ship the morning workout! Felt pretty good to get in there this morning since I'm going to be at a bachelor party for the rest of the long weekend.
5/25:
Short foam roll, found some tight spots that weren't there even on Wednesday and I worked them out. Couch stretch
Front Squat: WU+, 8x185
Finally a little bit of WIM, I think I might have been able to get 10 but the bar almost fell off my shoulders due to wrist inflexibility (maybe weird upper arm to forearm ratio ?)
OHP: WU+, 7x130
Yah buddy. I really just wanted to slap plates on there for the final set, but I went with my prescribed weight and it felt good.
Rows: WU+, 7x160
Took 60 secs max rest between each set so I could get out of the gym.

Maxes Week over and here are the training maxes I'll be starting with (90% of Wendler 1RM formula). I'm happy for some of these numbers but I'm really looking forward to increasing my DL so it is much better than my squat.
Lift | Actual | 90% |
SquatMax | 326 | 295 |
BenchMax | 227 | 205 |
PCMax | 175 | 160 |
DLMax | 339 | 305 |
FSMax | 234 | 210 |
OHPMax | 160 | 145 |
RowsMax | 197 | 180 |
It also seems taking a couple months off can really wreck some year long goals. I may need to revise them in early July once I have a better idea of what I can accomplish with this programming. I've only been back in the gym for a little over a month, so it's pretty awesome to see how quickly some strength comes back. I need to make sure to stay motivated for the long haul so I can get ****ing strong.
