I am stronger than yesterday

There is always a fear about going back to the gym when you are not 100%, but I did not want to delay longer than I had to.  I started my bench press plan again and managed to finish Day 1.  I substituted the floor press and performed them on a normal bench but left my legs straight in front to try to replicate the floor press better.  I am sore, but feeling good.  Though I injured myself in April, I knew I was going to come back stronger.  One point last week I did some pushups and managed to do 60 consecutive pushups with energy to do a little more.  That is a PR for me by far and I was thoroughly pleased with that set.  I did a set of 50 just prior to that one.  All my efforts are paying off slowly, but surely.  I am looking forward to this summer.

Working my way back

It's been about a month since I took off.  Since then, I just sporadically played volleyball and/or did light lifting, pushups, situps at home.  Though I wasn't 100%, decided to hit the gym again.  Started off light with 95lbs and just did some wide, normal, and narrow grip sets and feel like the healing process strengthened those muscles.  Hoping to get back into the swing of things regularly.  Should be back tomorrow unless I have to ref volleyball, which is just as productive.
