Update - My back feels fine now, but I hurt it at the worst possible time because it's finals week now and I don't have time to train :( I won't be able to get back to the gym until Saturday and I'm going to go light on the squats and deadlifts to make sure my back is 100%.

Decided to go in today and just go light, want to make sure my back is OK.

12/10/08

Deadlift:

2 x 1 x 405 lbs

Just went light, didn't want to push it. Felt fine.

Squat:

2 x 5 x 275 lbs

Went light here too, felt fine.

DB bench press:

5 x 75 lbs

Pretty sure this is a new 5RM with the DBs for me.

8 x 50 lbs
10 x 50 lbs

My chest and triceps are already sore, and I just got home from the gym.

Thanks guys.

It's all relative. I remember when I first did 225 lbs and thought that was heavy. I saw a guy do 625 lbs for a single a couple months ago at the gym :eek:

Haven’t done any serious training in almost 2 months, have to get back into it. My conditioning is terrible and I'm weak, but I know it will come back quickly. I resume my MMA training tomorrow :)

I went to the doctor a few days ago and my blood pressure was 117/44 and my heart rate was 59 bpm :)

Squat:

2 x 5 x 275 lbs

Overhead press:

3 x 5 x 115 lbs

Deadlift:

1 x 3 x 365 lbs

I'm a little scared of deadlifts now but my back felt fine.

1.5 hours BJJ practice

First training in a looong time. Conditioning was terrible, skills were bad but not as bad as I thought they'd be. I am sore as hell now, feel like I've been hit by a truck. Need to get back into it.

God damn it, I shouldn't have taken so much time off. My legs are spectacularly sore. I can barely walk up and down the stairs :cry: I wanted to keep training BJJ these last couple of days but I wouldn't even make it thru the warm-ups in this condition.

Your bench is pretty good, and consistent with the rest of your numbers. I'd be more worried about bringing your deadlift up :D

I got strep throat, and couldn't train for a week and a half :( All these setbacks are starting to get really annoying :mad:

Squat:

3 x 5 x 275 lbs

This was a lot harder than it should have been.

Bench press:

3 x 165 (Was going for 5 but I could tell that I wouldn't get the 4th rep)
5 x 155
3 x 155 (Failed on 4th rep... lame :( )

My roommate came to the gym with me, and this is the first time I've benched with a spotter instead of doing it in the rack. It was nice not to have to worry about crashing into the pins or anything during the eccentric.

Deadlift:

3 x 365
2 x 365

Had to take a little break after the 1st 3 reps.

It's so depressing how weak I've gotten :(
