Today is 4 days in a row where it was a no go for barbell training. Hrv gives, it takes away. Fighting a sinus infection and workplace stress before vacation. I leave on a Cruise this coming weekend, hoping for one more session under the bar at least before Friday morning. My body is apparently at a point where it wants a break anyway.

Sinus infections are No Bueno! Have a great vacation... Come back fresh

Back from vacation
Prep week after 12 days away from barbell( I did some work on the ship gym but nothing notable.)

Tuesday 19 May 2015. Eze back in.
No TRAC or hrv data need to reestablish baselines.

Squat
45x10,135x5,225x3,315x1
385x6@8
Took off squat shoes and did a couple of sets in skate shoes( walmart "starter" brand)
315x1
225x3
Those were fast.. Can't say it's the shoes because fresh after a heavier set but will play around with some more, I seem to get a better rebound out of the hole, but again, not enough data to be certain it's the lack of heel rise.

Pull-ups.wide grip
3 sets, Numbers not listed, let's just say that I have some work to do and need to practice keeping my shoulders active to keep my shoulder happy at the bottom.

Press
45x5,95x3,115x1,135x1
145x6@7.5

Some band pull aparts.

Waiting for my bodyweight to normalize to assess vacation damage( still losing water) lots of Fun.

Welcome back. Hopefully you got a lot of R&R.

[Lakshmi Meadows]

How's the shoulder?

[Bryan Dobson]

Welcome back. Hopefully you got a lot of R&R.

it was not the best vacation, but it was a vacation which is better than notn having one.

[Bryan Dobson]

How's the shoulder?

Shoulder is held together by ice and ibuprofin. I am starting the scheduling process. Visiting my primary care physician Friday just to talk about it. The fact is I cant make any bench progress with it like this, and the day to day pain is becoming a distraction.

[Walter Palmer]

Welcome back Bryan. Sorry to hear of the day to day discomfort.
