Attempting to come back...

Got nothing in terms of lifting... Treadmill tells me I did a mile in 7:06.

Hopefully better numbers to come...

New wagon? 4/2/11

- Bench 5x135, 5x185, 5x205, 5x215, 3x225
- Chinup 3x12, 3x12, 3x12
- Deadlift 5x300, 1x365

Felt really self-conscious about how fucking loud the plates were when I dropped them, so I stopped after one rep at 365. Was hoping to get up to 405, but it won't be long now.

Comeback trail ends 3/11/11

It's over! The comeback/maintenance period is over. Here's how we ended up...

- Deadlift 5x45, 5x225, 4x315, 1x385, 0.5x435, 1x435

Hell yeah bitches. Low volume means being able to go a decent amount up. Failed on that first 435 attempt, unable to straighten up and maintain the grip. I flipped the grip (left over, right under) for the second opp and nailed it, feeling fine as fuck. Then I loaded it up to 445 and was about to grip and rip when I realized I didn't want to end my trail on what would likely be a failure. Call it mental weakness, but this is a goddamn victory.

Comeback trail 3/10/11

- Bench 5x55, 5x135, 4x195, 3x225, 1x255
- Dip 8xBW, 6xBW+45, 5xBW+50, 5xBW+52.5

Feels good man. No issue with the ass coming off the bench this time either. Last bench-max-effort day for a while, but I think it was a good one.
