Friday: 11/21/08 - Week 1
Squat:
215x5
215x5
215x5

My last set was my best. Seems my body is starting to memorize the movement again.

Bench Press:
160x5
165x5
175x5

Now this was weird. I was almost struggling with 155 for all 3 sets last Monday, and today I was able to push 175 on the last set.

Deadlift:
245x5

Easy peasy.. just trying to be careful, ya know? I bet I could do 265lbs next Wednesday easily. 245 just seemed like I wasn't even being worked.

Thus ends the first week of my comeback. So far going strong. Plus quitting smoking is f'ing hard, but it's having its physical benefits for sure.

I'm feeling good, real good. Getting back into working out is making me feel better about myself. What I plan on doing probably is once I reach my short-term goal of 1000lbs total on the 3 main lifts I'll do some sculpting. I know I lack some chest compared to my shoulders and arms. Either way, as of right now I still lack everything.
