GZCL - The Comeback Trail

Training Training Logs
1

Coming back from a disc herniation. Just started hitting the deads and squats again. Working my way back up slowly. “Learning” the movements again.

Basically there’s a main lift, primary assist, and bodybuilder type work.

5-8, 203 at the start.

Numbers I’m using (being very conservative, using a 3RM and low balling those big time on all of the lifts in order I preserve th low back).

Bench: 245
Squat: 255
Dead: 205
Push Press: 185
OHP: 145
Hang Clean: 145

Riveting opening post.

Hang Clean: 6x5 @ 115. These were a lot of fun!
