Figured I’d just keep my assistance BBB squat at the 60% number and do a few extra sets. This is the end of my warm-up/deload that I wanted to get through after a month off. I’m still a bit congested, but will be heading into my 5’s week next. Looking forward to it.

Still working through light weights to wake the body up, but feeling great to be back out there. 

 

Also, Ian came out to the garage while I was out there and decided he wanted to deadlift the bar. We set it on a couple plates to get a little foot clearance, then walked through his form. My little man picked up the bar like it was nothing. He wanted to add weight after the 4th lift, but I told him his form has to be perfect before we start adding anything.
