Back in it

Warm-up:
2x10 pushups, situps, squats, pullups
dynamic squat stretching

3x5 low-bar back squat (5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 1x155 then 3x5x185)
3x5 bench press (5x45, 5x75, 3x95, 1x115 then 3x5x120)

1x10 plate swing (35)

After a prolonged dinner discussion last night about the all-healing power of squats (and milk, but that's another story, especially for the lactose-intolerant), I went back to squats today for the first time since straining my back. Felt nice and solid, no twinges - actually loaded more than I thought I would.

No pauses during reps but close - go to 190 next time. Bench felt solid.
