The Plan Continues. I had minor surgery under general anesthesia 8 days ago (I'm fine), which was 2 days after my last heavy day.
Today: BP ladders 3 x 1-2-3-4, 2 x 1-2-3 - first time to 3 ladders of 4 w/ this weight (155 lbs), then DL the first of a new wave after 315 x 8, 5 last week: 325 x 5. I considered continuing with my second set as usual, right up until I tried to break the bar off the ground and it didn't move, so I stopped there - I am still recovering from my surgery and, at some point, giving a hard effort for the main work set is going to mean that any further sets will have to be backoffs or skipped entirely.
As usual on my heavy day, I skipped the dumbbell bench press backoff set, and greatly reduced the 50% speed DL's in order to have energy for the heavy DL sets at the end.
