Update:
Hey guys, been a little while, so I'm here with an update.
Kind of in a funk today. The Mazda I just got and posted up here was tinted yesterday, looked awesome, then was hit by an 18-wheeler just 3 hours later. It's not terrible, but I'm pretty mad about it. His trailer crossed over into my lane (single, city lane on each side), and I was pinned with no where to go but to accept my fate. Bumper, fender, wheel, and my steering is messed up too. I'm okay at least, just down in the dumps as I've had the car for a mere 2-3 weeks.. Ugh.
Tried to channel some of my anger at the gym today. Woke up a bit drowsy, Hypermax wasn't really kicking me into groove, but I went with it. Did front squats and overhead press as the primaries today, with it being the first time doing OHP since June. I've just been itching to do it since my left shoulder is feeling 70-80% better, and just testing some lifts before I hop on a new training cycle (hopefully by October).
Front squats went okay. I intentionally didn't shoot for anything crazy, but the power/form was there.
OHP's went..surprisingly really well. Started very light at just the bar (1RM is 140-145lb) and felt good. Moved to 75lbs, then 95lbs, both of which moved like nothing. Moved to 110lbs, shoulder felt fine and weight moved fast. Moved to 125lbs and again, shoulder felt good, weight moved nice. 135lbs I hit for 5 reps.. What the.. Best I've done is a rough single (140-145 was also "meh" when I hit it), and now I just did 5 clean, fairly strict reps. Moving along, I forget what I did prior, but ended with a 165 1RM. Easily could've done 170-175, but I was cooked by this point. I'm absolutely shocked because I haven't touched OHP since June. I'm guessing with my bench where it's at, it's been supplementing my OHP since they're similar movements, which is pretty cool to see. When I did the 140-145lb or so OHP in June, my bench then was also only 210-215lbs, where it's 245lb 1RM now. It's neat how that works and definitely good to know.
As for nolva, I'm just over a week in, feel fine. Lethargy is much, much lower. I've been sleeping good, no ill effects otherwise. I'll be checking weight/waist on Wednesday and report back then.
Dude that is a massive bummer. Hopefully insurance is squared away and taking care of it. Freaks me out a bit cuz I have been planning on getting a new truck soon.
