HRV was 75 this morning, highest ever!

Previously two days of swinging 100-120 reps 16kg. HR dropped to 49 on the exhale which was cool.

5min rest

2x205 DL + sprint x2 -- this time felt quicker acceleration, worked on using quads to start

practice a few vertical jumps, good vert but R shoulder not liking to go overhead that much
a few squat jumps

50, 52

L side TFL / SI / lumbar area mild meh better today.

HRV back up to 69 seated / legs up. 52 bpm average, seems to go up to 60 inhale, down to 50 on exhale (!).

52.1bpm is lowest so far for summer, second lowest was 8-11, day after 112 swings.

yesterday though was 5x20 rather than 6x8 + 8x8, so more consecutive swings per set and more sets in a row. practice tonight!

--

still feeling meh (above neck that is), so decided no practice :-/

6x20 16kg swings before dinner tho, felt pretty good.

hands getting a little callus-y esp on the middle digit. maybe start using gloves

2x15 wall pushup

asymmetry

foam roll, L/R TFL/quad lat tightest

shoulderstand squat still no go. also noticed same mild pain during neck flexion while butt & heels on ground. hm. glute med R only slightly tight.

TRX assisted single-leg squat, 4x5. left side notably weaker than right side.

2x5 low pull
2x5 Y -- this is good?

superset
knee tucks
3x25
bat wings
4x5 15lb

single leg deadlift practice,
R ham still notably tighter than left side.

shoulder+foot elevated hip thrust 45lb
3x8 -- left glute not contracting as hard as right

5x225 hip thrust -- not easy, didn't get to full range?
2x225 hip thrust -- too much weight bump compared to last time

torture twist
3x{3+3} 4s 30s rest

farmer's walk 50lb+50lb DB
racked 45+45lb plate walk
45+45lb fwd+backward lunge

update! hip flexor stretches actually seem to address shoulderstand squat pain? kind of unexpected but hey no pain!
