Good stuff with the deadlift PR, looks like you might have a little more in ya as well.

Didn't get to the gym at work at my usual time due to pesky work getting in the way, so ended up going at 12:30.....along with the rest of London by the looks of it. Was horrible. Avoided the weights area and instead did some stationary bike for 30 minutes, which was incredibly boring.

Thank goodness for a basic gym setup in the garden so I can get some lifting done when I get home this evening.

Yeah I was kind of pushed for time as I was on my lunchbreak and was already late back. I think I'm good for a little more, I just don't tend to front squat often.

Cycle complete - probably won't be posting much for a while as the hernia op is Friday so will be doing cardio and not much else for a while.
 
Here's to wishing you a speedy recovery, will be looking forward to your return.
 
Hope it all goes well mate and hope you get some hot nurses
 
Operation went well, thanks to those who commented.

I've only been going for walks (both outdoors and indoors) since the operation and recently introduced a little bit of bagwork for variety.

I have had plenty of time over the last 5-6 weeks to plan out what I am going to do programming-wise when I can lift weights again. I was considering "JuggerCube" from CWS's site, but after further thought, I don't think it would be a good idea with my current strength level, as I have no idea where it's at right now, but is probably terrible.

So, I will continue with 5/3/1 but will be lowering my training maxes considerably to begin with, leaving out the joker sets for now but keeping the first set last. I will add a little accessory work each session too.

Will look to do weights 4 days a week, with some kind of conditioning work on the other days.

Today's training: Treadmill walk. Nice easy pace. 40 minutes. 4.39km.

SOHP tomorrow.
