i wonder if db bench might be a better "reintroduce" yourself exercise?

Well I think for MP I will definitely have to start there because even the bar seemed like a lot of pain last week.

Squats
bar x 10
135lb x 5
185lb x 5
205lb x 3
225lb x 2
245lb x 1
265lb x 1
275lb x 1

I think I will use 275lb to reset my squats on 5/3/1 next week.

Deadlifts
60kg x 5
80kg x 3
100kg x 1
120kg x 3

Was mostly just testing to see where my pain levels are at. Felt pretty good all the way through.

Military Press
20lb x 10 (db)
45lb x 10 (BB)
55lb x 10
65lb x 8

Bench
45lb x 10
65lb x 10
85lb 3x8

The pain was actually worse on bench than MP which surprised me....

Thoughts

Well squats are going to get started back up next week. Deads are pretty close but I think may have to wait a bit longer yet for an official 5/3/1 start. Bench and MP have a few weeks to go at least... maybe officially start them after a complete 5/3/1 cycle. Play it by ear/feel I guess.
