Week6 – Day14B

Squats:  5x5x70

Press:  5x5x50

Deadlift:  1x5x105

Back from travelling overseas. Surprisingly, it's been almost a whole month since I've been to the gym. The new StrongLifts5x5 app was kind enough to let me know that I had been away for some time and suggested I deload the weight on the bars down by 30%. It's good to be back. I'm hoping I don't encounter another long hiatus on lifting, but who knows what the future has in store.

Weights were all pretty light. I'm glad I went through with the deload. I was thinking of continuing where I left off, but I'm sure that would not have gone so well.

Didn't perform any accessories today, I wanted to get into work earlier today than my usual check in. Usually, I get to work a little after 10am. Decided to drive in by 8:30am. Managed to be the first one to arrive! Usually the manager checks in around 8am so it was a bit unusual getting there before him.
