Started with pause squats. They went awesome. Worked up in smaller jumps, to try and get a bit more practice in, and it felt really good. hit the bar x a few sets of 5, 95 x 5, 135 x 5, 185 x 3, 205 x 2, 225 x 1, 245 x 1, 265 x 1 275 x 2 sets of 1, and finally 285 x 1. Then, I hit 285 for 2 normal singles. Pause squats felt awesome. They really weren't even tough until about 275. Hopefully, these will really help my ability to control weight, help my confidence, and help my strength out of the hole.
Next, decided to strict press up heavy, even though yesterday was shitty. Today went much better though. Felt shitty at first, but then I started to feel better. hit 135 x 2 sets of 3, then 155 was toughish. But then I crushed 165, crushed 170, and got 175. I even tried 180 - got it to the top of my head, bad no shot at it. but THEN, I dropped back to 135, and hit it for a max set. Got 10 reps, which is awesome, a 2 rep PR.
Overall, an actual strong day! It's been a while. Can't wait to start lifting for real monday. the power is coming in the next 9 weeks.
