I'll be able to go up about 5lbs a week. I'll be back to repping 225lbs in no time in the bench.

Yet again, regress instead of progress :/

could have been a beast by now if this hasn't happened so many times. For god's sake i was benching 195x6 in high school im pretty sure at one point. I graduated college already.

Whatever. Gonna look and perform crazy good by next summer, that's for sure

Well I took a two week COMPLETE break from any gym work whatsoever, and I came back and squatted 140 kg with ease (while before that I was struggling mildly). You could argue that the recovery I got during those two weeks was better for my squat than any loss of efficiency that might've happened during that time span.

I could definitely argue that, and I could also argue that you could have squatted MORE than 140kg if you were working up to 90% singles 2-3 days a week during that time

fwiw i took 6 weeks off and bench went from 230x5 to 185x6
obviously 6 weeks is too much haha. but in my personal experience, and i have logged this many times, if i take so much as a single week off from lifting, my lifts drop temporarily.

gotta figure out what week im on... bench dropped by like 30 pounds. lifted 2 or 3 times in the past 6 weeks. fuck.

had a sick summer though.
