Right before my cyst I experimented with getting my volume on the main lifts in by performing ramp-up sets at the same reps but it wasn’t as enjoyable. In the past I’ve enjoyed autoregulation going for Rep maxes with an RPE around followed by backoff work starting around RPE and continuing until I feel a set I also enjoy rotating main lifts (typically keeping the main lifts close to competition style lifts and performing variations I suck at). When I hit all of the PRs I sat between 191 and 198. Rebuilding now sitting around a soft 200 lbs. I hit all time PRs before the cyst (430 wrapped squat, 405 squat no wraps, 275 pause Bench, and 435 deadlift) as well as several rep PRs in the squat. Not as bad as my last lay-off from the flu, pneumonia and other infections early 2018 that put me out for 12+ weeks or costochondritis that put me out from August 2017 to November 2017 but this time recovery from surgery was still bad enough to hit my strength hard. Had a good stretch from this time last year to March this year but had a pilonidal cyst that needed surgery so I was out for about 8 weeks.
