19 June 2012

Workout
1600m erg warm up@ 1:58/500m pace
Bench Press
Warm-up: 1x5@55lbs, 1x5@70lbs
Work sets: 1x5@95lbs, 1x5@115lbs, 1x5@120lbs
Ab circuit
3x10 pull-ups
4x20 push-ups

Today was really hard to go light. Bench has always come easy, probably because when I was younger all I thought about was getting my bench press up. I really focused on technique which was easier because it was so light.
I am glad I am doing Wendler's program. I can see how it is going to benefit me getting back into lifting again. The progression is much slower than that of stronglifts or MadCow. I think it is going to be a great program for me to start out with coming off the injury. I am hoping by taking it slow, and starting light, I will be able to better my technique in all the lifts and get stronger later.
I will be adding in some crossfit stuff in the upcoming weeks as soon as I am confident my body can handle the increased load.

Cheers!
