Glad to hear you had a good time in Paris. Just give it a little time and you'll be back on track.
My poor neglected log! I wasn't able to find any place to lift weight in Paris, so I simply enjoyed the city, jogged around the Latin Quarter plenty, and did some BW circuits in my apt. Then last week was a tough week back in the gym-everything felt heavy, I was sick a couple of days, and jet lag as definitely a thing. I managed to get all my training in except a couple of GPP things, but we'll just move on to this week.

Thanks! Coming back is a little tough, but I am crossing my fingers for a decent DL session today. Nothing extraordinary, just good will make me happy.
I know. It was both awful and wonderful. I mean, if I need to jog, doing it along the Seine is one of the best places to do it.

Day 2
Deadlifts
330x1 @8.5
286x5x4 at RPE "why are DLs so hard?"
Deadlifts, the lift that can make me want to cry and give up. But I neither cried nor gave up today.

139x4@8
143x4 @9x3

(That wonderful feeling when you messed up all of last week's training, but tried to squeeze everything in so you just did Tempo RDLs a couple of days ago.)
BUT even though I was doing Tempo RDLs, it was a great moment in my gym-a lifter doing rack pulls on one side of me, one doing paused DLs on the other side, and 10 people arriving to do squats. SO MUCH good lifting.
