07/30 - weights in kg
Beltless high bar: 140x5, 145x5, 150x3 -- speed okay but some back twinge on 3rd and stopped
FS hold: 150x20c,30c -- bothered back too so stopped
Pull ups: bwx8,8,5
Bench: 100x6,4,3

Too much too quickly? Don't think I hurt my back badly but was hoping for 5+ on 150kg for sure. Hopefully good in a few days/one week? Not sure how soreness this time around will be either.

Rougher comeback than I expected though haha. Still happy to be hitting squats and all though.

08/06 - weights in kg
Pause front squat: 100x3, 120x1,1, 130x1, 140x1 -- low back blew up
Bench: 100x7,7,5
Pull ups: bwx8
Low bar: 60x10

What a terrible come back, haha. Bench is creeping back up at least. Not sure really what's going on with my low back, though I could barely walk after 140kg. Felt fine until then. Guess I'm not doing a good job easing back into it eh?

Low back is doing better, going to start loading again. Work is killing me though. I want to go during the week but I can't bring myself to do it.

Creeping back up. Maybe ~80% of peak strength, but also like 90% of peak body weight.
