Jebus. Strong overhead press, CGBP and bench press! You're a pretty strong guy, im2m.
And what does a British prostitute's body feel like? I would like to find out.

strong workout im-m. I was gonna upgrade you back to im2m because of those heavy presses and bench and cgbp but you skipped half the workout
srsly though, if this is your lifts after a month off then in a week or two your lifts are gona be crazy strong!"Be like water making its way through cracks.

how did all those lifts feel/ how far are they behind your old max? since you took almost a month off.
I also recall you saying you want to weigh 225 i believe? idk if you were being serious or not, but whens your goal to be at that weight?Journal:

225 is the weight I feel would most be ideal for me, but my main goal is just to get a better vertical, be faster and increase athleticism in general since I play a lot of ball (basketball, football, softball). Of course in order to achive that I gotta drop some weight. So while I would like to get there, I can't see myself getting there any time soon since I am not really shooting for it.
The 2nd 345 was a little rough, rougher than I thought it would be. Right before I took a month off my progression was basically:
135 x 8
225 x 6
275 x 3
315 x 3
375 x 3 (really 2.5 as I needed a spotter).
So it is significantly off, but honestly the first 345 felt fine, I honestly could have just done something like this:
135 x 8
225 x 6
275 x 5
315 x 4
355 x 3
When I was doing the 2nd set of 345 I was like "cramping" which just leads me to believe I am not used to having "2 working sets" since I am used to just one, since I don't really consider 315 a working set. Believe it or not, it was your guy's critique about IL's routine and having only one working set that made me alter this and give it a try.
*Edit: I think if I were to Max on Monday I would get 385. Last max was 405, if muscle memory does exists I should be able to gain some weight back in the bench soon.

Yea I prefer only 1 working set, because usually I'd bench 3x a week so it was more important that I bench 375 3x a week then say bench 375 and 365 on monday, 365 on wed, and 365 on friday. But since I am only benching twice a week, I was thinking 2 working sets would be a good idea. I was sweating like a bitch and I was extremely disapointed in everything, I am going to have to reduce volume at the very least till I get used to things. Tomorrow should be interesting as what I have planned I don't think I'll be able to get through considering what happened today.

like jrahe said i would leave it out. i will let you guys know if i fail at something(such as those front SM squats) but if i decide not to do something i just leave it out lol. just weird seeing "skipped" as it gives me an image of a 6'4" 300lb man skipping around the gym lol(no homo)
You would be surprised just how much time I have to waste.

65 X 12 (6 EACH SIDE)
CARDIO:
4 Gear-ups (20 yard jog, 30 yard sprint, 2 gear-ups are continuous so it covers the whole length of the football field)
4 Gear-downs (20 yard sprint from a pause, 30 yard jog, 2 gear-ups are continuous so it covers the whole length of the football field)
LET ME EXPLAIN:
Well, as expected, my numbers are down but my squat should recover pretty quickly. I could tell I hadn't done the front squats in a while as my abs and core and form all together were hit hard. The zercher were easy as shit, but at the same time they hit my posterior chain really well...I would have done more weight if it wasn't for the fact they tore up my arms and I had a lot more exercises to do. I forgot how challenging the one-handed deadlifts are, if anyone wants to really train your grip you should give them a try. The Full Contact Twist (all time fav ab workout) was almost like a freaking cardio session and afterwards my obliques were as sore as STYD's mom. Needless to say I almost said F the carido, but I forced my way through them. I could taste something irony in my throat and sure enough, yours truly puked all other the track (don't worry it was off the track) it was at this point I called it a day. So all in all aside from the squat I am relatively happy with the workout and I can definitely tell my body got worked.
