Today’s workout was very dispiriting. I’ve been out basically since Christmas with various illnesses and now I am apparently weak as a kitten. Not even a baby panda. A fucking kitten. My squat has gone down 50lbs and so has my bench. I cried. Literally.
Warm-Up
3 rounds, nft:
5 diamond push-ups
5 regular push-ups
5 wide push-ups
5 snatch grip pull-ups
5 regular with pull-ups, chest-to-bar
5 close grip chin-ups
All push-ups done elevated on barbell resting on new rack pins in 7th hole. All pull-ups strict green banded.
Here’s where the real shit-show started.
Back Squat
45x5x2
65×5
95×5
115×5
135×5
155×5 highly questionable reps
This did actually constitute a significant back-off from what I was lifting previously. And also would have been the first day of a 5-3-1 cycle, which is supposed to be easy. The first attempt at the 155 set I failed because I literally thought I was going to be crushed under the bar on the first rep. Then I did another set of 5 but most likely did not go low enough.
Bench Press
45x5x2
65×5
85×5
100×3
Was supposed to also do 110. Got trapped under the bar at 100#. A mere month ago I could bench 105×10. Something is severely wrong with me.
I would like to die now please.
