180 x 1 x 8, floor pushups 35, 32, 27, long head band ext 4 x 15

 Not great sleep but 104 HRV! Felt ok strength wise but poor concentration and bad connection to my body

Misssed sets 4 and 6 just not arched enough at start so bar went out front

Once a week is better for my body I think but harder on the lift

Next week 170 for 12 sets

35 kg five mile ruck 1:12;59, 14:35 ave pace

 Second fastest ever.Off of 5 hours sleep. Good sleep but sciatica woke me up at 1 and couldnt get comfortable again. I think I'll try no pillow under knees tonight

Felt fine from the Beast swings and squats so that is good. Less sore than with the 32 but I thinks thats from everything re aligning again.

I hope

48 kg swings 10 x 5, 40 kg swings 10 x 5, 48 kg belt squats 4 x 7, pullaparts 3 x 30 3 angles

 This went great better than expected. Everything was fine, my back, hips, grip, technique, mind set. All solid for the first 48 kg swings since January

Dont know yet how I'm going to cycle the weights but this big bell did its job of focusing my mind

Sleep was good again. Didnt use the pillow for the first half of the night then put it under for the rest

Bell height was low but that fine

Parallette wt pushups, 20 kg swings 20 x 5, band pushdowns 4 x 15

This went well, better than expected
Shoulders and elbows behaved
Felt stronger than I thought but I'm used to doing then after max effort presses in the past

bw x 8 x 2

25 lbs x 6

32 lbs x 5 x 7

swings went well if I really focused on not losing inside right heel contact

Didnt realize how much I lost connection til just recently
