Ceairra — Return to Lifting

Three sessions · working at 70–75% of a training max

Snatch TM
125 lb · 55kg
C&J TM
175 lb · 80kg
Back Squat TM
260 lb · 117.5kg
Deadlift TM
275 lb · 125kg
Your training max (TM) is 80% of your old numbers. Every weight this week is a percentage of that TM, so it's meant to feel easy and fast. Your old numbers came from an app, so the TM keeps a cushion. If a set feels harder than the plan says, drop the weight. If bar speed is great all week, we move up next week.

Stop the lift and tell me if you notice doming or coning of your abs, pressure or heaviness in your pelvic area, leaking, or pain. Exhale on the effort instead of holding your breath, and drop the bar if a lift goes wrong.

Loads show lb with kg in parentheses. Write down your bodyweight and how each lift felt.
