back in the gym

I've been back in the gym 2 days now, although my strength is not fully back after that run. Could also be that I am still battling with this cold.

Monday I did my legs up bench work and I pretty well hit my numbers to my chest (fell short by 1 rep at 110 (only got 5), but my target was 108). It was my 2 and 3 bd where my strength really came up short, which is quite odd for me. I guess I just tired out too fast. My accessory work went well, as per normal and I didn't have to trim the weight back on those.

Tuesday I did my high bar squats... I did sets of 6 @ 135,155,175,185 but then did 4 @ 195 with knee sleeves (for mental security... I always thought they provided me with more than they do!!) and then 2 @ 205 with knee sleeves. Way under targets but that was in part because my targets are high, I struggle with high bar, and I didn't have a spot to really push those reps. My accessory work was good again, using 25s for step ups, 165,175,185 for 3x8 stiff leg DLs, 25 for 1 leg glute bridges and a band for hypers. Also tossed in abs because I hadn't done them Monday and finished with 8 min of skipping (20/10).
