Today was my first workout since the strongman contest on Sunday. I am still a little sore but wanted to get back in the habit of hitting the iron as soon as possible. I biked to the gym, did some front squats, bench pressing and rows, then biked back. Here is the actual workout I did:

• bike to gym
• 20 minutes nice and easy
• front squat
• worked up to a max single
• added 50lbs and did a stand and hold to get used to heavier weight than I can handle at the moment
• narrow grip bench press
• worked up to a heavy 5 reps
• cable row
• this was supersetted with the bench press
• 5 x 15
• bike back hom
• nice and easy again

Since I am still a little beat up I didn’t want to destroy myself with a brutal training session. I took it easy on everything except the front squats because that was my main focus today.
