  • Notes: Have a consistent gym for about 3 weeks. Doing some experimenting with internal and external torque days as a way to organize my lifts. Internal torque is deadlift/hinge pattern and upper body pressing, while external torque day is squat/jump pattern and upper body pulling. Really like it so far, but mostly it just feels good to get back in the gym.
  • Body: Very rusty, tight, and not very strong. Shaking the cobwebs off after lots of time traveling, sitting, eating and sleeping poorly. Already feel better!
