Sharing a gym win. 

I recently to the gym recently after a year off and learnt something about building back strength. I’ll use the ever-relatable exercise: Bench!

Prior to my year off I could complete: 
3 set, 6 reps, 95kgs comfortably. I would do this once, maybe twice a week. And I had plateaued.

Memes in the mean time.

I have done this twice a week, for 3 weeks. Now I am starting at 50kgs, peaking at 85kgs and I feel stronger, more dynamic with my lifts. 

I have taken time off before and haven’t been able to return to strength this quickly before.

Upon return I could manage:
3 sets, 6 reps, 70kgs

Combining curiosity and laziness, I started with the following and found great results building back strength. 

Set 1: 12x40kgs
2: 10x50kgs
3: 8x60kgs
4: 6x70kgs
5: 8x60kgs
6: 10x50kgs (I found failure during this set at first)
