I gained a solid 10lbs of bloat over my two week break. Weight felt light today but walking lunges and rev hypers felt like a 2 mile run. You know you’re a powerlifter when you get pit sweats before you even get to the gym.

I’m winded just from writing this…

Did above in circuit form. Need to get my reps up on all bodyweight movements in preparation for application to the police force. I’ve been sore since I’m just getting back to regular training, so chest/triceps strength wasn’t at an optimal level today…regardless, 35 push-ups is terrible even for an off day.

Was just shot today, started the workout feeling very sluggish but somehow got through everything. Proof that my body was in rough shape today was my HR during biking after lifting…it was probably at an average of 145 BPM vs. 130 at the same resistance/RPM as other days.

Incline Walking
4.0 for 10 minutes

Worked out in the AM…not used to that yet so squats felt rouuuugh, bench was not quite so bad but I was able to get through everything. First time in suit (straps down) and wraps for 3-4 months so it felt very unnatural. Bodyweight is back down to 207lbs in the AM after peaking at 215 during Christmas break, I’ll be happy around 200-203 or about 10-11% body fat.

Easy session today, chest was just shot after high rep incline BP and push-ups. Not happy with the wg pull-ups at all, my strength just disappeared after the second set today.

GHR
BWx10x4 sets

I certainly didn’t miss shirted benching, reps were all pretty smooth though probably could of handled it down to a 1 board. Time off of the GHR is certainly showing, 10x4 was not easy today–terrible considering I had down 40-45 straight reps at one time a few months back, hopefully that comes back fast.
