17/5

Notes: I have been sitting down ALOT the last days, and not lifted or exercises at all so todays training felt like a long warmup session. Strength, speed or timin was not there and I was very stiff achy. Still got some good reps in, powercleans were solid but could not get the bar from clean rack into a comfortable press - pressed from mid chest (!). Tried to frontsquat after the back squats but it was just misserable due to inflexibility today. Did some stretching and quad isolation work together with adductors and abductors and called it a day. Tomorrow will be better!

Life is real hectic now. 4 small kids that needs attention together with a fulltime job climbing the career ladder and trying to get big, strong and awesome while. Leaving no or little time for a social life outside family and work. Iam enjoying it but it would be nice to have 36h days =)

That's Awesome.

Regarding powerlifting and workouts, hope you get that worked out. Every think about going more free form and working up to a daily max based on how you feel? Perhaps cutting back on some assistance work so you can fit everything in easier?

Just tossing ideas your way.

I hope you find a balance that suits your needs and works towards your goals soon, Swedemeister.

Still a good day swede, first day back is sometimes the hardest! Just get back in there and smash it next time!

First days back SUCK! Still some good work and you'll get back on it within no time.

I tought about that actually, Ive been working up to a max single on squat/clean/snatch and bench for a while now and then filled in with doubles or tripples afterwards dependent on how I feel. It works very well for the olympic lifts, but for the squat/bench I just think I need a lil more volume, like working in the 5 rep range.
