Strength Assessment
Well, I've lost a bit of my strength. At this point, that wasn't much of a surprise.
I did a test day of 5x5. I lost about 8% on my Squats, almost 10% on my Bench, and a sickening 19% on Rows. I'm not that bothered though...muscle memory and all that.
I used an RI of 2 minutes and a x/x/x/x tempo.
Squat
125 @ 5
155 @ 5
185 @ 5
215 @ 5
245 @ 5 (I really had to push for this)
Bench
80 @ 5
100 @ 5
120 @ 5
140 @ 5
160 @ 4
Row
90 @ 5
110 @ 5
130 @ 5
155 @ 5
174 @ 4
