Week 1-

Workout 1, Heavy Day-


Squat- 5x 135, 185, 205, 225, 235 <-- missed last rep

Bench- 5x 140, 160, 180, 200, 210

Bent over rows- 5x 95, 115, 135, 145, 160

2 sets weighted hypers

4 sets weightes situps decline

Overall good workout after 2 weeks of being off uncontrollably. My squats were lacking, but I really settled in to the new form I'm using and how low I am going. It felt good and my form stayed true. I will definitely be able to add weight to bench and row, but I will probably use the same weight next week on squats due to missing the last rep. I don't want to get ahead of myself.

Posted a little late, but had a good workout on wednesday. Both my squat and bench felt great. I powered through every rep with a lot to spare. I should add 5 pounds on friday easy. Deadlifts are still extremely weak. Its new to me so I'm assuming its going to take a while. I'm working on it though..
