So Thanksgiving happened. Let me rephrase: a week long out-of-state Thanksgiving happened. No gym. No calorie tracking.
All of that adds up to not having to worry about not gaining enough weight!
The week before I left I averaged 178.3 for the week (down slightly from the previous week). The first day back from our trip? I weighed in at a whopping 182.6!! Yes, that is indeed 4 pounds heavier than before I left. Fortunately some of this was water weight and my weigh-ins have gotten progressively lower, but right now I'm sitting at an average of 180.5 for the week (2 days left to go).
The first day back at the gym was rough. For whatever reason, doing squats after a week or so of off-time always gives me the worst DOMS ever. Upper body is generally fine, a little sore, but nothing that makes me cringe just moving around. Additionally, I just joined a new gym. Ugh.
It's significantly cheaper, but having to switch from a gym I had belonged to for almost 6 years to a brand new place is intimidating. I suppose I'll be used to it in no time and then it won't really matter. But on Monday it was enough that I almost skipped out altogether! The best part about the new gym is that the wife belongs there as well, so we've been going together and working out. She has a different program than I do so we aren't together the whole time, but we generally have at least one thing that's the same. It's a whole new experience!
On Monday I completed the following lifts:
BP: 215 x4
Squat: 245 x4
Deadlift: 305 x3
It was ridiculously busy so I wasn't able to do OHP. Instead I did incline bench but wasn't really paying attention to the numbers as, while it is similar, the movement is not exactly the same and I hadn't done it in a very long time (6+ months).
