caveman goes for 5/3/1 for 300/400/500

Prep for the move has started. Garage was out of commission for a couple of days. Cleared out a spot yesterday.

Bench - 275 x 1, 295 x 2. 275 was my litmus test to decide if 315 would go for a ride, both in terms of elbow pain and bar speed. Not much pain wise, but not much bar speed either. The double at 295 was RPE 10, so that was a little disappointing.

OHP - 135 for 5 and 5. Just wasn't feeling that good today. Called it there, no accessories, nothing...

Bench - 225 for 13! New rep record for 225. Previous best was 11.

OHP - 135 for 11. i think that is also a rep record. Arms were already fried from bench.

Tricep rope - 50 for 30
Hammer curls - 20 for 30

Just trying to get in some work for maintenance, but with a very small chance of injury. Moving starts next week!

First time back since moving, vacationing, unpacking (partially...) and hosting visitors.

My new reintroduction routine is to start super duper light. then super duper light with more reps, and then repeat for a while until these old bones get with the program.

First time lifting in new garage! I'd like to say that I have more space, but that's not true. However, it is a more dedicated space.

Squats - 45, 95, 135, and 185 all for 5's. Pretty easy, though my left hip felt a little wonky here and there.

Deads - 135, 185, and 225 all for 5's. Again no issues.

Bench - 45, 95, and 135 for 5, 5, 8. These felt surprisingly awkward. So I didn't go up to my usual 185 for the first time return.

OHP - 45 and 95 for 5's. Easy.

Now we get to wait and see how sore I get. Hopefully, in 2 days I can repeat.
