The jam-packed schedule of events through the fall racing season has meant that my weightlifting has taken a back seat. I’ve still been in the weight room here and there, but nothing that could be called a program. But now that the weather’s turning, and the races are nearly over, it’s time to get back at it. Today I did a short, simple upper body routine, just to see what the damage is from so much time off. Happily, it’s not that bad. I was still able to press these 60s on my last set of flat bench, for 10 good reps. I have some work to do to get my strength back to where it was in the spring, but it looks like weeks of work, rather than months. That’s good news.
