In-laws trip got cancelled thank god.

So I restarted my workout today, it actually went well. Again, I'm only on week 6 and I arbitrarily started low on all my weights - started with 25 lb plates for squat and bench and 45s for deadlift. I've been going up by 5 lb plates per week aka 10lb increments. This is the most I've squatted and deadlifted in years.

Goal is just slow and steady. Not in a rush to break PRs or in a rush for a 6 pack - I think thats whats allowed me to be so consistent and not crave anything bad. I made myself eat fatty foods just to stay above maintenance for 1 week .

Yeah, I feel you. I have 1.25 plates and I only went up 2.5/5 upper/lower per workout when I started back up.

I'm 20 weeks in, started doing 115 on deadlifts, squats, and bench, 65 on ohp, all for 3x5 @ 185 bodyweight

My last heavy sets I did 182.5x3 squat, 187.5x3 deadlift, 140x3 bench, and 77.5x5 ohp at 165 bodyweight

I would have been embarrassed back in the day but the only one of those I'm disappointed in is my ohp. But I hurt my shoulder a couple months ago, haven't been wanting to push it too hard.
