Most of the weights were down in the exercises, the shear volume of the workout was enough, let alone pushing myself to hit those high weights. BW is down a few pounds hovering around the 170 mark. I'm going to really concentrate on bringing this around and getting back into the 'bodybuilding lifestyle'.

On intense programs like this, it's better to take time off and NOT resume the gym until everything is finished outside the gym. It really won't benefit you going every so often, trying to squeeze in a poor quality workout. Just take all the time you need, then come back with some slightly scaled back weights until your muscles become conditioned again. There's just no way to come back here and there and expect to increase the weights.
