Completed Foundation Phase

Recap:
Spent the last 30 days in a basic strength foundation phase. The goal was to get the movement patterns back after a long layoff with from the barbell. This was an extremely productive time and I got between 3-4 workouts in each week hitting all three major powerlifts.

New maxes moving forward are as follows:
Back Squat: 285 (hit 275 for a pretty easy double)
Bench Press: 235
Deadlift: 400

Onward: 
Cycle moving forward will be an easy strength/40 day training plan. The goal will be to accumulate a high weekly volume with most of the workouts happening at home. I will get to the gym when my schedule allows but believe if I grease the movement patterns I can still make some sold strength gains while staying fresh and still having time for my family and work.

Excercises to be used:
Goblet squat / back squat
Band pushup / bench press
2h swing / deadlift

Lots of foundation drills for lower back and joint mobility.
