Feels good to be in the gym again (vids and footage + reps)

Been about 3 weeks, so am trying to regain some lost strength after not going to a gym since March. Feels good boyos and starting to feel it coming back. Did 130 lbs for OHP for 3x3 and 230 lb squats for 3x8 and they moved really well; but trying to not rush into things and take my time. Hoping maybe I can shoot for a 185 lb OHP and a 4 plate squat in a month or two. Also did 2 sets of dumbbell bench press and dumbbell rows to failure.

Gained a lot of weight though during the lockdown, went from 183 lbs to 200-205 lbs on any given day. It's funny a lot of people say I got more muscular but are surprised when I said all I did was home workouts, LDAR'd and ate junk food lol. Probably because it doesn't that look bad with clothes on. But at 5'9 it's too much weight and my conditioning/cardio has definitely suffered, so looking to include more of that stuff. As well as slowly get back down to around 180-185 over the course of a year.

May do a PL meet when stuff gets back to normal, but for now, mostly recomp my weight slowly downwards. Anyone else back in the gym recently and looking to regain what has been lost? Let's get it boyos! Weakness is only temporary.

Have some exams to write next week, but after that gonna fully commit myself to the process

Did 310 lb squats for 3x3 and 185 lbs bench for 3x8

felt good, might do some rep max testing next week




Think I can maybe do 325 lbs on squat for 5-7 reps maybe

Bench if I did TnG instead of paused maybe 225 for 5-6 reps
