So, quietly back at the weights. Stress is killing me, that viscous cycle of stress, no workout, cortisol, lack of sleep, etc etc etc 
Just trying to limber up and get weight moving again. Started by doing at least twelve minutes on the treadmill nowadays
Squats
2x5x135
2x5x165
2x5x195
2x5x225
Seated rows
2x8x75
2x8x85
2x8x100
Few sets of decline situps and headed home, felt good to be back

Matt I feel your pain. I just moved all the way across an entire country with my life in tow behind me and started a new job, where I'm not king dingaling no more Tons of stress and no sleep equals no gym gains so I just took a break as well.
Ready to get back into it though. Just need to pick a new gym, so many to chose from and all are dirt cheap:thumb:

They are amazing, fit perfect! I was worried they weren't gonna fit since I had to order without trying them on and I've been anti lifters till I wore them. Squatting is so comfortable in them!

Those are some hard bottoms for real!
Picked up a set of Harbinger knock off Versa grips from the local sporting goods store for $25. I'll put them to the test on Sunday.

Bench
225x12
225x2sx10r
260x4 ugh lol
245x5
225x3 super 5 second paused
Shoulder is feeling better still a bit sore but not to bad.
Deadlift
315x2sx10r
cable flys, bent rows, reverse hypers
Not sure if this gym will be the one or not? Has all the power gear I could ever want but the owners/atmosphere isn't to friendly... Might have just been me having an off day

I feel atmosphere is very important. The guy that owns the gym I use is the nicest dude you'll ever meet. He has a strict no Dbag policy.
I said f-it and signed up anyway... I e-mailed Jesse and he asked if I could come down and train on sunday, free card doesn't work on the weekends so... What do ya know I met him signing up just about 30 minutes ago, super nice guy:thumb: Not everyday you get to meet the world record holder in the 198 class
Super excited and nervous to train with him.
Watched his last video on youtube, guy sounds like he is super beat up physically. Low back and shoulder issues. That's awesome you got that 1 on 1. Hear he is a super humble guy

I'm interested to here what his approach from here out will be? He and I are in the same busted condition, the rest not so much lol.
Picked up the front end of my bx2670, what's that weigh? L4 disk is an irrate bastard right now.
Tried straps. 100% Hate them. Setup takes too long. I'm a grip and rip kind of person. Thinking too much screws me all up. Oh well. It's only $25. Maybe hooks would be better.
Versa grips man lol, velcro them around your wrist. When your loading weights you can spin them around backwards so the grip material isn't in your way. All you gotta do is put your hands on the bar like normal and grab the grip strip with your fingers and off you go. I also hate straps I would never buy them.
