Squat 110 5x6
Deadlift 120 5x5
It has been 2 months since the injury, and the progress since then, has surprised me alot. I am tempted to push a bit, but have to continually remind my myself that it's a long term gain, and it won't be any good if I get another injury. Just went for another maintenance massage session at Chien Chi Dao, which felt really good - have to keep up on the stretching and myofascial release work too.
One of the things that has helped the most is learning to really stretch and warm up the posterior chain. Now I realise how tight by hamstrings were!
Targets for the rest of the year (for squat, add 10 for DL)
- 120 ish for end Oct
- 135 ish for end Nov
- 140/145 or better for a 5x5 by end Dec
Then I'll be back to pre-injury levels ...
