First day back at the gym this morning since pre-covid times - before that I was doing a mix of kettlebells / stronglifts 4x per week so figured i'd most likely be in for a shock...
Decided to stick to the stronglifts exercises to get started again - this morning I stuck to squats & bp, taking it easy with plenty of warmups to see how I felt. Squat was comfortable enough at 5 x 70kg & bench was 5 x 60kg - down from 5 x 100 / 5x 80 in 2019 which was realistically the last time I did any weights, could be worse I suppose.
Tomorrow i'll see how the press / row feel & maybe a couple of deadlifts - i'm aiming to get in Mon-Thur for 45 mins before work, so i'll be repeating twice per week & only increasing the weights after the first couple of weeks:
Mon / Wed - squat / bp
Tue / Thur - row / press (maybe dl too)
Obviously if I roll out of bed tomorrow in tears I may need to rethink the intensity but fuck it, in for a penny & all that.
