Squat Bench and Deads...nice session

I completed my second session back in the gym following injury and illness and damn it felt good. As most of you know I have had to go back to training in a mainstream gym for convenience and cost, not ideal but I am making do. 

The trade-off training in mainstream gyms is lack of  access to quality equipment and generally an over-abundance of knob jockeys curling in the racks. However I have been fortunate that the facility I have to train at now actually has a power-cage and a platform with bumper plates. In fact Sunday I was silently wishing the owners would put another rack in. Imagine my surprise last night when I arrive to find an additional shiny new Muscle Motion power-cage and squat bar! 

I'm not sure whether I was excited by the new rack or if it was being able to string together 2 session in 3 days but I had a great session. I squatted dead lifted and benched to re-groove the form and prepare for kicking off my the new routine in earnest on Sunday. Squats felt remarkably good, deads were ok with no residual issues from my injury and bench felt good with a good 1 second pause after each rep.

I am feeling the soreness today but a session on the roller and some light bodyweight movements should have me good to go for tomorrow. 

I'll finish with a nice video of Brandon Lilly pulling 347k at Australia's premier meet ProRaw5

2 days to the weekend
