I kept going back and forth on what my strategy was going to be and if I should go with a day that was more cyclical based to get back into the groove. First off the vacation was amazing, but it was full of activity. I did get in 3 really good sessions. There wasn’t much bad food consumption but a few items that were out of the norm and good poolside adult beverages. So more just out of routine and a lot of time in the sun and pool so defintely was very very active and body pretty drained from that.
So going into this piece today, was trying to decide to game it and just be happy to move or try and push on one of them and see what happens on the rest. I knew that the barbell cycling was going to be the toughest and just needed to think about the overall hspu volume that would happen over the course of the 3 pieces.

56 – 82 and 10:45 – on the first set didn’t want to mess around and be too slow on the bike but didn’t want to go so hot that I would pay for it. Done right around 2 and quick transition and too big of a set out the gate in the hspu. 2nd set pulled back a little on the bike but in reality it was good feel that pulling back a little in this scenario doesn’t lose much time, but didn’t have great hspu strategy and just tried to grab the bar and go. Really wanted to pull back on the bike in the 3rd set and even then still finished around 2:30/2:40 – strategy took longer on hspu and went (3.3.3), rest, (3.3.3) rest, (3.3) rest, (3.3) rest – the small cluster sets were good practice for me as I stayed close to the wall, didn’t rest long and just trusted that I knew I could get 3 more reps, good confidence builder even when I was breathing hard and just knew I would be ok, just started gettting a little pressing fatigue. barbell I rested too long in between sets but at that time I was just more over heated and tired it wasn’t as much breathing. took too long in transition w/bmu but just glad to be back into a regular routine and ready to get sleep/nutrition and balance in my days for the good summer groove of training.
