Week 1. Back at the start of another 8 week cycle. Nice and easy.

In other news I also picked up a Concept 2 rower and did my first session with it yesterday; 2,000m in 10:27. Kept it easy as I wasn't sure how it'd affect me.

Week 6. I picked up one of those NAP mouthpieces today to stop grinding my teeth and maybe prevent some neck pain. It'll take a few sessions to give a good assessment but for now I know it sure increases the spittle production.

DO Deads WU to 355 x 6 x 5r - felt great. Easy.

Morning

Block 1 benching. Still feeling pretty crappy. I think the grandgoober gave me a stomach bug. Yesterday I felt really bad as the day progressed. Took it easy today. Hopefully I can do 3 days in a row here to not mess with my arbitrary schedule.

Week 6 squat. Guts are a bit upset from the holiday food but crapping my pants hasn't kept me from squatting yet. I also brought my stance in to shoulder width or maybe a tad narrower as well. Felt good.
