Then did similar on the bench press. 3 sets of about 8-10 at 50kg, before dropping down to 40kg and 4 sets of 15.
Then finished off with sets to failure of pressups with legs raised up on a bench, to hit the shoulders as well as the chest.... managed 4 reps of about 12, and i was really struggling on the final one.
These aren't groundbreaking weights by any means, but its a cautious return to weights, and i had done a 75 minute uphill run just before, and 10mins of XC Skiing, so pushing myself mentally for another big effort on the weights is quite tough.
