Good nutrition and sleep this week, but felt like I was dragging a bit this morning. Wasn't too bad though as squats were extra light since I'm on a deload and also making my way back up on dead.

Shifting to Tuesday & Thursday sessions this week due to travel yesterday and later in week. Plan to do heavy bench & squat, followed by heavy press and deads. Then I will be off for a full week on vacation. PR on the bench although the last rep was a mighty struggle. Building back on the squats from deload at 290. Will be interesting to see where I am at when I return from vacation!

So back in the gym after a week away with little more than brief daily trail walks, light yoga/stretching and light eating. Down 6.4 pounds in weight and struggled with both lifts, but lost a significant amount of fat while away (some muscle too for sure). This may be anathema to this board, but I'm going to keep the eating lighter and cleaner and see what I can do with the lifts as I work off more fat. I don't want the lifts to recede too far, but I'm so much more comfortable (physically) in the mid 180's than I was 190+. Tomorrow is heavy press and deadlifts and then back to regular programming on Monday. Curious to see how it goes...

Looks like I underestimated the detrimental impact of the time off...considering deloading across the board and building back up as I'm struggling with the "light" workouts...would rather deload, get the volume in and build back up vs. missing so many reps on the "high" workouts and pushing myself to point of possible injury.
