Did you take time off? Your strength seems lower?

Your politically correctness made me ... yeah, Summer was shaky, I got a few workouts in here and there (I didn't log them on the site). It was difficult to get in the rhythm of going to the gym this past summer. After I experimented with the diet I lost quite a bit and with summer being so busy I kinda gave up on trying to build it back until I could devote more time. I'm back down to 176 but hopefully will build back up soon enough as I have plenty of time on my hands now. My weight is notorious for easy fluctuations and eating a plant based diet seems to make it fluctuate that much easier. I'm gonna shut up about my training for awhile as it seems that over the past 3-4 months when I start saying that I'm back at the gym something comes up to hamper the progress. Just gonna post my workouts and what not and hopefully make some progress. The numbers I threw up the last couple days were really lite, DOMS is my best buddy and he loves stoppin by to pay me a longggg visit after he hasn't seen me in awhile. I'm trying to sneak by him this first week or so....

I so am in the same boat with the lazy blogger part.

Ease back into it, don't go too heavy too fast. Injury = bad

Last couple weeks have been great. Consistent with training and food. Getting stronger by the week, but not quite back to what I peaked at last year. Throwin the 90s around again which feels good. Goal is to get the 125s up for 3 before my birthday. I haven't been writing my progress as of late but I told my training partner that we need to start logging, so maybe we'll start next week...

Sure I'm not alone, when I say:

Are you still as strict as you used to be with diet?

bringing your shakes to work in mason jars to reduce oxidation, etc. etc.. ?

The mason jars and pump-n-seal are still in full effect! ... I'll update my "Eat." log here shortly but the basics are the same. Currently, chlorella/spirulina for breakfast, 1 fruit/protein/grain smoothie, 3 leafy-green/seed/nut/grain smoothies, and a solid dinner. Divided the postworkout nutrition into pre and post now.

So I did a few sets of barbell bench today.... 1st time in like 6 years! Heres how it went down:

Dumbbells Slight Incline 70s x 15
Dumbbells Slight Incline 80s x 12
Dumbbells Slight Incline 90s x 10
Dumbbells Slight Incline 90s x 8
Dumbbells Slight Incline 100s x 6
Barbell Bench 185 x 8
Barbell Bench 225 x 3
Barbell Bench 250 x 1

Kind of freshing to step away from the dumbbells for a minute. I actually surprised myself and didn't think I was gonna get 225. Maybe I'll hit the barbell up again in another 6 years. If anyone is wondering my PR for bench in college (10 years ago) was 225x17 and 315x1, but I don't remember being able to touch the 90s or 100s for dumbbell bench... weird stuff.

Say Troy,
I was just wondering what kind of goals you had and are setting for yourself now. I was reading a little about your min. protein intake and was wondering were you were going with all of this?
