First week I'm really getting back into it.  Didn't really go to failure on any of my amraps.. left about 2 reps in the tank.  I've still definitely got weaker but my strength will come back fast.

Trying out the back extensions that Pete rubish does with a barbell to really strengthen my posterior chain.  I felt it a lot in my lower back this week.. gonna play around with the technique to try and hit my hamstrings more.  Also put in the deadlift stance leg press to build up the quads.

Squats felt really good this week also.  I tweaked my form a little bit, and put the bar a little bit lower on my back because I've been doing highbar.  The 275 for 10 set was really easy.  I think I was good for 315 for 10 if I wanted to.  I put in pause squats to really work on the form and exploding out of the bottom.  I really think it'll transfer over well.

  All in all it was a good week.  Once I dial in my technique more I can see weights flying.
