5x5's: off the wagon

I've been bad. Schedule and exhaustion have prevented me from fulfilling my twice-weekly 5x5 commitment, and I haven't done deadlifts and presses since June 30th. Today it showed.

DL: 210x5
Press: 5@90, 4@90, 5@85, 3@85, 4@85

The deadlifts were actually fine. They felt more or less like they always feel.

The presses, on the other hand, were pretty bad. I did the workout at the Y, where they don't have 1# collars, so I went up to 90# and knew in the first set that I was in trouble. After stalling out in the second set (and nearly falling over backwards), I dropped down to 85 and limped out the rest of the workout. I think it's just been too long since I've done these, and I backslid a little.

Which is frustrating, but it happens. I'll try again on Monday at 85, and try to get back on the horse. Or wagon. Or whatever the appropriate metaphor is.
