I decided I would like to start doing an Upper/Lower split routine again. I'd been doing more of a full body routine the past few months, concentrating on Bench for the meet and Squatting almost every workout.
Considerations for the new routine:
- My elbow is still bothering me, especially pressing (flat and overhead).
- I want to eventually work on increasing my Bench for a meet in June.
- I want to start Deadlifting again.
- I want to work on posterior chain, especially lower back strength. I've been neglecting this.
I spent the week revisiting some lifts I used to do when I did the Upper/Lower previously. Needless to say, I was sore with DOMS (and still am) the entire week.

Notes:
Didn't have too much energy this workout. It was harder than it should have been. Judging from how my back felt the next day, I think I went way too high on the Good Mornings.
