Training

So I skipped the squats last week...had some plans on Friday and it is getting easy to just not go lift.  However, I did squat Monday.

First, let me say that I haven't squatted since August.  I mean, not at all.  Zero squatting.  That is 3 full months, 90 days.  So, I was expecting the weight to crush me.  135 x 10 was strange feeling.  Usually I have a ton of pop with 135 like it is an empty bar, and it actually felt like a bit of weight.  Not cool.  225 x5.  A little better, some pop.  Loaded it to 315 and did 3 sets of 5.  The weight felt like a ton on my back, but coming up out of the hole was easy money.  Tons of pop, felt like I could have done 10s.  By the 3rd set my ass and hamstrings were cramping with every rep and I knew I was going to be in some pain.  Some pain...yeah.  Here it is Thursday night and my legs hurt so bad I have to drop down to get to the toilet and walk backwards down the stairs!  I am loving it!!!!

Did chest Wednesday, and took today off.  70 today so I couldn't miss out on the last 60 minutes of daylight to ride the bike!  Tomorrow I will pull and do some back.  Good to be back to the gym feeling the iron again.  Baby steps, and I can tell you if we get some great weather again, like today, I will skip again and be right back on the bike. 

Tattoo is healing nicely.  Saturday after Thanksgiving I go in for more work.  Can't wait!
