Thanks for all the comments guys. Squatting 2x a week has been really good to me.

I'm a few days behind schedule, but here is day 2 of Week 8.

225 x 3
275 x 5 x 2 sets
295 x 5 x 3 sets

Pretty easy workout today.

Hai! Workouts looking awesome!

I'm back from the dead. Work, life and just general lack of motivation have kept me out of the gym for a month, but I finally got my lazy ass back today.

Nothing too exciting, but I'm breaking myself back in slowly.

Squat Clean
95 x 5
135 x 5 x 2 sets

Front Squat
185 x 10 x 2 sets

Seated Row
120 x 12
180 x 12

Dips
BW x 12 x 2 sets

I finished with 10 minutes on the elliptical and some stretching and called it a day.

As you can see my workouts have not quite been up to the level that they were before my month long break. I'm slowing building back up and trying to work through some minor knee pain during squats. I'll get back to full speed eventually.
