It was my first day back at the gym today after around 3 weeks of inconsistant training (if you can call it that) and a lot of food during the festive season and on holidays around NZ. At the end of last year I needed a break, I was tired and run down and it was fantastic to get away from the gym for a while. Today showed me however, what happens after 3 weeks off. You lose your edge.
The end of last year bought great strength gains for me and I thought that after a bit of a refresher I would still be back where I was. This was not to be however. Imagine my disgust when I lost 20kg off my squat and 30 off my deadlift. My press stayed the same though (?). This was the first of my test days before I start another strength cycle and I was not impressed. On Wed I'm testing front squat, bench press and sumo deadlift and friday will be snatch and clean and jerk. It will be interesting to see what those numbers are.
Workout:
"Crossfit total"
3 attempts at each lift to find you 1 rep max
