Brutal.
Probably related to the 5 hours I spent chiseling off some glued-on artwork from the downstairs bathroom door. And replacing the faucet and drain pipe, and painting...

Lost about 45min of sleep from the 2yo coughing. Good session anyways. Taking the morning off, need to hide the kid from the cleaners or they won't work but still expect us to pay them. Want to take him to the zoo but it doesn't open until 10, kindergarden drop off is at 8:20 so I have an hour between them...

Think a deload week is in order. Perhaps a "4 steps forward, 2 steps back" kind of thing. Also probably fighting off whatever virus the 2yo has, which might not help. Still, overall increases in this session, but also felt the RPE getting up there.

Both kids might be staying home sick today. 2yo seemed a little better yesterday than Fri/Sat, but 5yo seemed to be coughing a little more.

Woke up coughing a little, but was PTFO all night. Not sure I even work up to flip the pillow. Easy conditioning, hard weight training.

Awesome. E1RM up over 500, which is lol but a 455 is probably in the bag at least. Pretty sure I'm down another hole in the Pioneer cut also, so things are going pretty good despite super high stress with kids and being sorta sick.

80min? Not sure. Long.
Echo was brutal, max and average speeds were really low.

Shortly after going to bed, got some really bad stomach pain and spent an eternity voiding my bowels while trying not to also throw up. Felt better eventually, though during the workout a few farts made me kind of nervous.

Legs highly uncooperative this morning. Just garbage. Also weight shot up a bunch. I blame the housewarming/bounce house/tailgate/college town night on Saturday and all the driving Sunday. Or missing a day of my BP meds.

Also less than helpful was the 5yo waking up 30min early at 6:15 and standing at the garage door shouting at me during the last DL set, then wanting to come out and chat nonstop and play with equipment and stuff.

Got an extra rep with 170. Will repeat these weights until I get 12. Might alternate it with some higher volume @7 sets? I think that might be a good way to go, top set @9 then alternate days with volume @5-6+AMAP and days with volume @7.

New possible distance PR on the sprints? I think .88mi was my previous best. But I also feel like I might have cheated a little, letting it spin more at the end of the 10s sprints. Max watts was way lower, probably only hit 9XX, but I was hitting 8-900 for almost all 8 instead of 10XX the first one or two then 700s the rest of the way.

Re-wore my shorts from yesterday, thinking since I had tights on under the shorts I could wear them again today. The smell once I started sweating indicated that was a mistake.

Smell is funny- at (almost) 39, those times where I develop that "teenage boy testosterone funk" when my workouts, diet, and sleep are on point (almost never) are kind of exciting?

Weight not going back down from the weekend.

Some good increases on DL. Drank my pre- a little later than usual and had to run inside during DL warmups, tried going no rest on the OHP and it bit me. Oh well, 135 has been @10 for a few weeks anyways, about time I feel the consequences of adding volume to all my other pressing.

Mouse is back, time to set the trap.

[Allentown]

The doors in most of the house are old mortise locks- possibly original from the 20s based on the amount of rust there is in the ones I have taken apart. 5yo has already broken one because he refuses to turn a knob to close a door, just repeatedly slamming the door over and over until it latches. The mini-bathroom downstairs has gotten a little difficult so it is currently taking the brunt of the slamming, and man is it frustrating.
