Snap's Return to PLing?

I’m back after a bit of a hiatus.

I’m 5’4"
Compete in powerlifting (USAPL) at about 110 lb.
48 years young
Married with kids

Today:

Band pullaparts
Cuff rolls
Flat bench
Bentover BB row
Seated facepulls
Overhead tricep cable
Chins with hold at top and at 45 degrees

Got some strength to regain. Understatement.

HAHHA you have no idea!!

:smiley:

Today. Quick in and out. Cause I’m in a wedding later today. A tomboy bridesmaid at almost half a century old in a floor length formal dress.

Squat
RDL
Weighted hypers

I’m not putting my weights down yet. Because they’re so light! But I’m doing pretty much 8-10 reps for core lifts and 8-15 reps for accessory to build a good base.

Not really. I took about a month+ off after my meet in March. Then I ran a 10K on Memorial Day and that took me out of the game for about several weeks afterward because my hip was so bad.

“It’s all right”

According to google translate, those are the meanings. Aside from cerveza and bano* (beer and bathroom, respectively) I sadly don’t comprehend non-english dialects. So, I have to take google translate at face value. Given their application, it appears the translation is correct. Have fun at the wedding! :slight_smile:

The wedding was great. I’m the one on the right.

Today at the gym:
Band pullaparts
Standing cuff rolls

DB flat bench (alternate arms)
