Just realised my #squat t-shirt is 10 years old!
Iโ€™m not strong nor big enough to be lifting in a t-shirt that old! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Fantastic night in the gym! I've been grinding bench for months and it took an 11lb jump in my 1 rep max on bench tonight: 128lbs!!! New personal record!!! #Powerlifting

Had fun doing dead lifts today.

I think I've found my way back into lifting. I've had some good sessions lately, less following a plan and more just doing ad hoc conjugate sets (10min to hit a 1-rep max, 10min to do 3x5x80ish%).

More about maintaining strength than really pushing it. I'm still consistently hitting 3x5x225 bench, I did 3x5x135 OHP yesterday, and that has me pretty happy.

I'm hitting legs less specifically (still doing squats) but I've added a bit of bike riding.

Bigger goal for me at this point is weight loss. I need to take some stress off my knees if I want them to work for the next 30+ years.

I started the new year by getting sick. It went on for ~6 weeks, and I didn't have it in me to train in the gym.

I managed to train 5 times in January, and 0 times in February. I got better mid-February and took a couple extra weeks for recovery.

Now we're halfway through March and I've trained 6 times. Trying to keep up the momentum... Reestablishing the habit is always the hardest part of training. Once I'm at the gym, the rest is easy.
