So, it’s been a while since I was in the gym. Last time it was around the 9th of June. I was preparing to go on a little vacation with my brother to Amsterdam, so the period before the trip was pretty hectic and also I was coming home late after my psychiatry clinics. So, the gym never happened. After I came back from Amsterdamn, I just was finishing up my final week of my psychiatry elective and yet again, I kept getting home late. Also started doing a binge of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies with my brother, as I spend time with him before he leaves to return back home. So, I preferred to do that than to go to the gym. But, I have gone to the gym for the 2 days of this weekend. The break seemed to really help with strength at least. So I am pretty happy with the break. I was able to do the 135 lb bench press with a lot of ease and no effort at all. I did 155 lbs for a few reps. So my strength did go up, as I noticed yet again the lightness of the 135 lb bench press. So I am pretty happy with the break.
