Warm-up:
court jogs
dynamic squat stretching

3x5 low-bar back squat (5x45, 5x95, 3x135, 1x155 then 3x5x165)
3x5 bench press (5x45, 3x65, 1x95 then 3x5x115)

Slowly realizing that I've lost a lot of strength since I last lifted regularly (last summer) - jury's still out on whether it's due to the long layoff or just getting older. Squats felt heavy but mostly in the lower back, which is feeling tweaky after a busy week of climbing/lifting. Hopefully weekend rest and a little foam rolling will help. Bench went up fine but the last rep or two of the last set were close to limit.
