The Chalkshank Redemption
Haven't trained since early March. Finally able to train again almost 3 months later.
I was supposed to go to a USSF meet this weekend actually, but that was cancelled in April. Hopefully can compete this winter.
Getting back to previous strength (and beyond?) following Rip's advice here: YouTube

So far so good. I feel great.
Sunday and Monday were rough, most soreness I've felt in a long time. And that was just one set of five at 60% of previous volume weights. I'm glad I didn't kill myself on the first day, and was instead able to take 30lb jumps on the next two sessions.
Trying to get back up to my previous bodyweight of 235 lbs. Somehow I lost 10 lbs and gained two inches on my waist.
