Nice jump from last week's deadlift, and a good amount of volume!

So we've switched up our focus (on Austin's advice). As I'm having issues with my strength regressing due to the cancer treatments, we're trying new/novel movements that I can't measure against competition lifts. Mission accomplished as I have no idea how to correlate today's work to a competition Squat.
Anything to keep me out of my head for the next few months.
Additionally, it was fun.

Dumbbell Bench - 50llbs 10*4

Trying to do more on Bench day, as it's not a "stressful" as Squat and Dead days.
Everyone in the gym is either competing this weekend at a local meet, or peaking for The Arnold. I feel "left out" of the fun. Everyone is being really supportive about me not being able to get on the platform. It's like being a racehorse that just been scratched from a race, standing in the stall and hearing the starters bell go off. I'm ready to run, but I can't.

Would have liked to have waited another day before training, but the gym is closed Friday afternoon, and all day Saturday and Sunday for Mustache Mayhem: Weightlifting / Powerlifting / SuperTotal
Gonna watch both days to support teammates and my former training partner who's gone to the dark side (weightlifting).

Cycle 3
HB Paused Squat - 95kg 5*5
Tempo SBS - 75kg 6*4
Goblet Squat - 24kg 15*4
Sledding - 75kg *4 up and backs
Cable Flys - #5 10*4
Not bad for being off for 5 days...didn't think it was that long until I looked at my log book. Mustache Mayhem was a rousing success, even if I couldn't compete.
Fvcking Sled pushes really blow. I'm definitely not in aerobic shape these days.

I came down with a bug middle of last week that has cut the legs out from under me. Today was the first day back, and it was a struggle.
I had to keep repeating the mantra of training while being treated for cancer: do what you can, with what you have, on that particular day.
Still, it's very hard mentally to be giving up so much ground.
Radiation treatments start tomorrow: 28 days / 5+ weeks
Lord give me strength!

Numbers mean nothing now. The mantra is #anyrepsaregoodreps
