Well I'm skipping squat day to let my back rest up. Not sure if I should give er' on DLs or rest more. It would be ashame to miss week 3. We'll see when I get there.

Real happy with my OHP.

How do you find your strength has come along over the years ? Or since you started this journal ?

Thursday June 23rd, 2011

Well seeing as I started at 165lb and weak as F I think I've come a long ways...

However, I've recently made another turn for the worse... My appendix decided it didn't not want to be a part of my body anymore on Monday. Spent 3 days in the hospital and have 8 shiny staples to show for it.

So looks like I'll be taking it *really* easy for the next couple of weeks and won't be hard at it again for ~6 weeks I'm told.

What luck I have.

Well 2 weeks since the surgery and this was as hard as I felt I could push it. There was some stretching where the incisions was but not really any pain.

I didn't dare do any squats yet other than just some BW stuff while messing around between sets. Maybe next time I'll play with the bar.

Well everything felt decent today. I've lost a bit of strength but it will come back.

I also played with squats up to 155lb and it felt OK too. I can feel it in my abdomen mostly when I'm right in the hole but no pain to worry about I don't think.

This is my last "recovery" week that I'm giving myself. Next week I'm resetting all my lifts and starting the 5/3/1 ... again. I wish I could stay healthy for more than a few months! Arg.
