After a pretty stressful week off, and with a (hopefully more relaxing) week off coming up, I reduced volume and intensity to intro week levels.

My low back is also still giving me a smidge of trouble after going a bit HAM on SLDL last week.

All in all, just trying to #gaintain until I get back.  It's looks like I'll have a summer pattern of 1 month of disruptions and 1 month of consistent training.
