The one is dead. I remember seeing it on the news.

Thank you
Saturday 5/27 squats n deads
Holiday weekend stuff going on at home. This was all I had time for. Annnd my HRV app had told me to limit intensity so I stuck with the basics so even without the time limit I would have stuck with just bascs anyway.
dynamic warmup
Squats:
bar x 5
65 x 5
85 x 5
105 x 5
125 x 3
135 x 3
3 x 140 x 3 - FINALLY got my squats moving upward again! (but still 35 lbs below my best triple, ugh)
Sumo deads:
135 x 1
155 x 1
175 x 1
10 x 187 x 1 - with about 60 sec between pulls (even though the program I'm using gives me as much as 90 sec rests if I need it). All of these pulls felt GREAT, meaning solid and no wincing (ie, hip pain) as I broke the floor! It's about time I got some Saturday deads off the floor again!
30 min walk
Next week's plan is to bring up the squat/dead weights next week a bit. Hopefully this upward trend will continue through the summer and I can get my numbers back to where they were by the fall.
Apps are all well & good, but don't let them run your life.

Certainly not. Using it as a guide for programming/recovery, and to see how well it correlates with how I'm feeling. I don't have the funds for a coach to help me with powerlifting programming so I'm forced to teach myself how to do these lifts snd how to program it in a way that works for my chronic ailments and the unpredictable family schedule.
