My Road to Redundancy: a redundant journey on a road

[The Emancipated Freak]

Ok, so in 2014 I cut my fingers off in an industrial accident. What followed was a Hollywood style personal journey through my eyes as I struggled with addiction and having all my fingers. Long story short, everything is great. If I wanted better fingers I shouldn't have squandered them

So flash forward to modern times, very bored so I say fuck it and pick up a gym membership and I've been lifting again for about 2 weeks.

Basically just fucking around, really not to worried about shit beyond looking good being kinda strong and looking good. I weigh in at about 165 these days for reference

Squat: 235 3x5
Really just doing SS style squats because my squats are awesome enough to get plenty out of it

Power clean and jerk: 95 1x3
105 1x3
115 1x3
I'm a pretty big fan of this set up because it really pushes me to get it right as I go up in weight, plus they're so much Damn fun

Dumbbell rows 40 lbs 2x15

Tricep extensions: 2x20
Who cares about the weight? My triceps were knots anyway and It was more than last time

Dips: 1x15, 1x12

Ab bullshit then battle ropes

All in all I thought starting again would suck worse than it did so that's pretty cool. Will need a more specific program later but I'm having fun for now

Oh yea
Dumbbell bench: 40 lbs 3x8

Ok so I just moved apartments and gyms so this has been a pain in my ass. Started training with that fuckin dickhead hamburgerfan again. Asshole.

Squat:275x3, paused the 3rd.
295x2
315x3. Felt real good on this one.

Worked up to 135 with clean and jerks, then switching to press got 135 once.

Dumbbell bench: 45 1x10
1x8. My lefty was a real pain. Been giving me guff lately so I'll have to even things out.

Did some ab work, battle ropes, climbed ropes than did pull ups. Really need to work on the grip on ol' lefty.

Power clean and jerks: 95x3, 115x3. 135x3. negated the jerk here: 155x3, 165x5.
This was pretty fun. Done without knee sleeves so my knees were kinda bothering me so I need to actually remember to put them on next time. Need to invest in some straps because my grip was pretty shit tbh.

Bench: 135 3x5, 155x3.
Pretty wimpy shit. Been a bit since I benched though.

Fat grip tricep pulldowns: 3x15. Mainly did these to work my left am's grip and over all strength. Never really did anything to help it catch up but this was pretty nice so I'm gonna do these pretty often.

Lat pull down: 3x25 @ 70 lbs. Nothing much to say here.

timed battle ropes, and some catch as catch can followed by attempting to play basketball.

Thanks. Shit happens. Not a huge deal these days except when it's cold out.

Still finding out where I'm at for this shit so I've just been playing around with some start points.

Deadlift: 185x5, 225x5, 275x3(put on straps for this one) 315x3, 335x3. Tried for 350 for a single but nothing. funny how these things work.

Fat grip tricep pull downs, curls, basketball, chin ups, and ab work.
