Flat Bench (60 second rests)
135x25
225x10
315x10,10,10,10,8,8,8,8

Plate Lateral/Front Raises
20x25,25,25,25

Band Tricep Pressdowns (Purple Band)
Purple Band x15, 20, 20, 20

Dips
BW x15,10,10,10

DB Shrugs
120 x25, 25, 25, 25

This was basically the start of my road back from elbow surgery. It's been two months. Obviously my numbers are low and I am a weak as mofo. BUT I just started my BLS Stack. Throw in some Def Con 1 and I will be rolling again. Dips were brutal. The joint felt weak. The soreness set in on the drive home. Notice there won't probably be a rhyme or reason to my training for at least a couple weeks til I get my feet back under me. This is more to just get may ass moving and gain a bit strength back going in the right direction.

I'm doing the 4 week DMZ Blast Stack and will be using Def Con 1 as well. Thank you, Neck for setting me up with a personalized cycle and it's time to get at it. As for the contest, I'm not as worried. This is about redemption and returning to dominating the weight again. I have good peeps in my corner and I can see big things in the future. Contemplating utilizing Josh Bryant for training and maybe John Meadow for nutrition. I cannot wait to get deeper into this stack!!!

Hell yeah hawk, nice work. Sme impressive volume on those presses with tht weight. I know you feel it's low, but that's pushing some weight for reps to me brother. I'm glad you're back at it, hitting it hard. Can't wait to see how this stack turns out for you.

I'm 265. I went of off the wagon on everything. Didn't even do cardio and ate horrible. Suprised I didn't end up weight 300!

Squats (1 minute rests)
135x20
225x10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10

Leg Extensions
100x50,50,50,50

SSB Squats
225x10,10,10,10

Calf Raises
225x50,50,50,50

Not a lot of weight, but a rude awakening. Should have got my mail first. Got some Defcon 1 in the mail. Needed it today. Weight was not a factor today and honestly, it was more about just getting back into squatting and form. Everything right now feels so foreign and my stamina is horrid. Suppose it goes back to sitting on your ass for 2 months and doing nothing. Part of the process.

Looks like some great volume work. Lots of sets. I like your approach of working volume to get back into things.

Mani love hitting volume like that on squats. My legs respond really well to it. Killing it as always hawk. Can't wait to hear about that defcon too!
