Todays lift felt great in many ways. I went into the workout alittle tired but just kept pushing through and by the time I finshed half my bench pressing I was fine. All the benching felt good and especially my last set. Every rep on that set felt explosive and strong.

My first set of pull-ups was suprising. I managed 6 full reps with 25lbs - last year I was struggling to earn 1 rep. After finishing those out I decided to build up my DB presses alittle slower than the last time I had recorded them. Last time I worked the 50s, and then ended with 3 sets of 60s with help from my spotter. This week I managed the 50s, smoked the 60s, and locked out all 6 with the 65s so I was jacked about that.

It feels great to get back in the gym and get some good quality work done. I think the break I had was needed - I wish I would have gotten MORE activity done than just not lifintg at all but I feel fresh and ready to take these last 3 weeks to continue my progress and compete at the end of March. Bring it on!

Remember, sometimes/a lot of times progress can be hindered by over training. And training while sick is something I wouldn't recommend. It will not be the end of the world and you don't need to emotionally beat yourself up for missing some workouts. It is very important that as soon as your feeling better that you get back in the habit and keep working out and keep working hard. Consistancy and determination are necessary for success but even God rested!
