    If it makes your smile even bigger, my leg day yesterday I did 4x10x568 on leg press, compared to your 589. You go, girl!

    (Of course, now I know I need to increase the weight used next week...lol!)

    Missed doing this last week, but I did remember this conversation at the gym yesterday after work, so when the guy before me asked what weight to leave on the sled when he finished I told him to leave it where it was, and did 4x10x658 (along with 4x15 at the same weight for calf raises).

    Have at thee, @KickassAmazon76! lol

    Well... You're ahead still... My last leg press was 6,6,7 at 639lb lol

    lol Don't worry, I don't intend to get into a continual battle of "who lifted more" scenario. I just wanted to point out how an online conversation made its appearance into my real-life workout, lol.

    Besides, my numbers today pale against my numbers from a few years ago. Even though my squat today is heavier than back then, my leg press back then squashes my numbers today. Not sure how, am guessing it was a combination of doing the leg press all...the...time back then, plus I'm fairly certain my depth wasn't as good then as it is now, but I do know (thanks to a manic dedication to logging workouts) that I was doing sets of 20 with 7 plates, sets of 10 with 10 plates, and have a lifetime 3RM of 1,200# (12 plates per side, plus a 2.5# plate in the center to make the math work out).

    Okey, first session done in the gym again after 4 weeks no gym and only 2 home workouts and recreative cycling

    And i am humbled...

    Was planning on doing 4 sets of 6-8 on Bench, DL and Squats at 60% of my 1RM (which clearly is not my 1RM i am capable off right now)
    Ended up doing Bench at 70% for 3 sets of 8/9/8
    Deadlift at 60% for 3 sets of 5
    And started doing my squat warmups, and when i started doing my first set at 60% it felt so heavy...i was not even able to do more than 2 reps

    Here below is my last warmup set.

    A good thing though, they have a heel elevated tool now, so i used that for my squats, and holy *kitten*, i could notice when doing warmup sets that i got much deeper.

    Here is a screenshot of the video of today:

    To some this may not look much, but i could feel getting past the point i was used to.
    Perhaps that is also a reason my squat felt heavier, dunno.
    I just know, that i am gonna give it time to build up again with my heels elevated, even if that means starting with 1 plate again and slowly building up

    Looks like good form Gus and sounds like you have a good mind set on your approach.

    Thank you Chris.
    I just need to remind myself that it takes time to build up strenght again and being away from lifting for 4 weeks is gonna mess with my strenght.

    Definatly feeling it today though, it's walking funny thursday today

    I wasn't getting into a who lifted more scenario. Though I was proud of crossing 600 for reps.

    At no time have I lifted more than you, nor do I expect to ever lift more. I'm not about pissing contests. You've made it pretty clear that you can lift an elephant.

    Actually, according to my last leg day, I lifted the equivalent of 8 elephants, but who's counting? lol

    Away for 4 weeks, your strength will return in no time. Shouldn't take more than 3-4 weeks before you're back to what you were before the layoff, assuming the injury is healed. If it's still sore, then take your time ramping up, at least until you are no longer sore.

    DOMS is just the body's way of "thanking" you for the time off, lol.

    So, they got a mag row handle (if that is the correct name) in my gym now.
    So much better to do lat pulldowns, since the grip is so much better.
    And even better for my normal rows, since i have my hands rotated, and in a more natural position

    Second week of slo-pitch... We played last night and tonight. I noticed tonight that my knee is swollen, even though its not hurting, nor do I remember hurting it. However, if I go to kneel, it feels like my kneecap is surrounded by fluid.

    I'm really hoping it'll be all better by tomorrow because I need to do my week 4 day 1 squats/total body routine.

    Pray to the iron gods that this is nothing. I have been seeing such good progress!

    Thank you Gus. I’ve been doing the squats barefoot for several months now since you guys mentioned it. It’s my preferred method now. Thanks brother.
