I just had my first all-green day of #weightlifting since taking three months off to let my foot heal from surgery. I'm restarting at 30% of my PB to test the waters. Should be able to safely increase from here without aggravating things.
Feels amazing. I missed it very much.
I’ve been following the Stronglifts 5x5 program for the past three months. It’s gone well, but slow because running remains my first priority. I plan to modify towards a Starting Strength-style three sets of five for the next three months.

Just set personal bests on squats, overhead press and deadlifts in one session. Just barely. Feels good!
How my past few weeks of running have gone and what’s planned for the next few weeks.

Failed the overhead press at this weight. Did 5, 5, 3, 4, 3.
I think I'm going to drop the weight on the lat pull down as well, my form isn't great.
Fuck the overhead press, always makes me feel so weak. 😄😭
