I was still sore from Tuesday, but felt good doing the exercises, weight is not an issue, focusing on correct form and trying to loosen up my hip flexors, so spent a bit of time doing body weight deep squats and lunges before starting the work out.<br><br>
And cheers all for the welcome back -

Saturday<br>
Warm up<br>
5x5 OHP @25kg<br>
5x5 Bench @40kg<br>
1x5 DL @65kg - feels easy, but don't want to jump ahead on the workout, I will try 1RM 100kg on Thursday .<br>
5x5 Squat @45kg<br>
1x2 Squat@80kg - checking my 1RM, plenty left in the tank, probably could do 100kg, will try on Monday. I will work up slowly to 120 kg for 1RM, by the end of the month.<br><br>
Feeling good, back into the rhythm! -
<p>A good opportunity to check or work on form for those heavier lifts, squats, deads and bench. But improving core strength is definitely a good idea for squats!</p>
