Monday Jan 11th/2010

BW: 184.4lb

Bench
bar x 10
135lb x 5
165lb x 3
185lb x 2
205lb 3x3
205lb x 9 (missed 10)

I thought I would be horribly weak after almost 3 weeks away from the gym and 2 weeks off any form of healthy food. I was surprised to find that my bench was pretty strong coming back.

Squats
bw
bar x 5

Just played around. My flexibility felt good but my foot definitely didn't feel up to the task of handling weight yet.

Chin-Ups
BW x 7,7,6,5

Chest Supported Rows
2 plates per side x 8
3 plates per side 3x5

Thoughts

Well my foot is healing up pretty quickly all things considered but today was one of the first days I could walk without a limp so definitely not a good day for weights. Moving the plates around even made it a little tender so I'm glad I didn't push it.

I'm really surprised I didn't gain more weight over the holidays (and thankful) and also surprised that my strength seems to have mostly stayed in tact. Nice. Hopefully next week I can get some real weight back on my lower workout. I missed squatting today.
