Strength, Inconsistently

Still struggling to get into a regular routine of any kind.

Buy-in: 1 round CFWU

WOD: Squat/Bench Press/Deadlift

Squats 3 x 5
Warm-up sets:
  • 1 x 8 x 45
  • 1 x 5 x 65
  • 1 x 5 x 75
Work sets: 3 x 5 x 95

Bench Press 3 x 5
Warm-up sets:
  • 1 x 5 x 45
  • 1 x 5 x 55
  • 1 x 5 x 65
Work sets: 3 x 5 x 75

Deadlift 1 x 5
Warm-up sets:
  • 1 x 5 x 45 RDL
  • 1 x 5 x 65 RDL
  • 1 x 5 x 95
  • 1 x 5 x 115
Work set: 1 x 5 x 125

Yes, I know I can lift more - the bench presses were only lifts that were remotely challenging from a weight standpoint. But I've become a bit of a wimp. The last time I lifted, I had such a crippling case of DOMS that I could hardly walk. It was bad enough that it actually affected my ability to do my job. So I am going to try to slowly build back into the heavier weights.

Cash out:
TGU - 5 each side with a 10# KB
10 x KB situps (2 5# KBs)
20 4-count flutter kicks
2 x free-standing handstands (~10 s each)
