The road back...
Strength Training today...
Prep - Z
Pull-up +45# x 3, 3, 3
1 arm Push-up - 3+3, 2+2, 1+1 (one arm/one leg)
Pistol - 3+3, 3+3, 3+3 (+45#)
DL 315 x 5, 5
32 kg Get-up x 5 min.
There was a day (BPL - before powerlifting) when I weighed 175ish and could do a good bit more pull-ups (bodyweight and weighted), DL 3 x bw, etc... One arm push-ups were a warm-up and pistols were fun. Now at the mid 190's and APL (after powerlifting) things look and feel a bit different. Not sure I'll ever see the 175's again but I am on a road back to some of my previous strengths.
Now - I am not blaming powerlifting - it was my application of it and the obsessive nature of my squatting - no KBs and other factors that changed things for me.
As I return to strength training and eventually powerlifting I will do it in a very different way.
Back in the Saddle!
ReplyDeleteWhaddya mean "obsessive nature of squatting?!" I resemble that remark...
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you on the road to sensibility. Maybe one day I'll walk it too. Until then, keep us updated on the scenery.
Adam,
ReplyDeleteThanks - that is the goal.
You do resemble that remark Geoff!
The scenery is pretty good so far.
