Training volume has been low lately due to several reasons. One of them was 10 days of vacation, during which I lifted, but only sporadically. The other one was a mild bout of the plague.
It seems almost like defeat, having avoided getting sick for the past 4+ years. But all it meant is that I took some time off from the gym until my symptoms cleared up and used isometrics/bodyweight movements. Squatted 485x3 and 500x3 on my first day back, so I suppose that worked out all right.
I also moved houses about two weeks ago and my lower back and legs are still beat up from it. All I've been doing since the move are maintenance workouts. On the plus side, I'm finally realizing my lifelong dream of setting up a home gym. Rack, bar, and plates, nothing fancy. Keep your eyes peeled for the headline "man gruesomely mangled by barbell in own home".
