This was my first workout going back to dynamic and max effort days for the lower body. Will be easing into the “max” part of this day for a few weeks. Then I guess get crazy after that.

Thoughts:

Today I switched back to doing dynamic and max effort days for my lower body. I am going to have to ease into the true nature of these days. I am still rebuilding off my big layoff and lack a lot of qualities. I can’t really strain all that well, and I can’t move all that fast. It will take time to really be able to put something into my lifts, right now I’m just going through motions.

Today was a good first step forward on the max effort front. I strained a little, but nothing too crazy. Even with that consideration I loaded up the safety squat bar within like 10 pounds of my lifetime record with that bar. These pleases me because I know when I get all the components of my workout program working well, then I’ll be able to really move some good weight.

I am taking everything really slow with the progress with my lower body lifts because I didn’t with my upper body lifts. My reward for going fast with my bench press was tendonitis and a shoulder I can’t hardly move, I should have moved slow.

Overall the return to doing some more maximal efforts looked good and now its time to start doing that weekly and having fun.
