I would get moving, warm up and see how the first couple of exercises feel. I would guess you will feel ok once you get going.

Headed over to Mirafit HQ today for a meet and greet/VIP event. Got there early to get my pressing session done before spending a couple of hours chatting to people, doing a q&a and a super quick deadlift tutorial. Awesome to meet loads of people with great questions about training.

Bodyweight moving up nicely. Rest day today. I’ve got an appearance to do tomorrow so I’ve stopped off at my parents house for the night to break up the journey.
Push session tomorrow morning before the meet and greet.

Rest day. Got my walking in and ate all my meals. Evening mobility session as I’m down a little on shoulder Rom above head.
Back in the gym tomorrow for some speed pulls and back.

Yep you definitely want to breathe – a very good way to avoid death haha
Take a breath at the top of the lift, hold it for the lift then breathe out during the concentric and repeat each rep. Always take the breath when it’s easiest – while standing at the top of a squat for example. Don’t try and breathe when the body is being compressed. Simple.

I’ve had over 10 years experience looking at HRV from my previous job working with professional athletes from simple apps to expensive systems and I’m not confident in HRV’s reliability. I personally don’t look at it and just focus first and foremost on how I feel when I wake up then use my whoop band data to track trends with sleep and resting HR. I find resting HR a much better indicator of fitness and general health.
My advice to you would be to hold off looking at your Fitbit until the evening after you’ve trained. Far too many people wake up and look at the data straight away which influences how the feel and train for the day. Much better to see how you feel and how your session goes before looking at the data IMO.

Had a good time at the wedding reception last night. Up early to take the dogs for a walk before heading back to Elevate gym for my push session. Used the Prime Pec Dec – very impressed.

Only use them when you need them. There are there to offer support when needed. If you are pain free in your joints then I see no reason to spend money on kit yet.
A decent belt on the other hand can help with bracing however it will take some time to learn how to use properly. I’d hold off for a while hearing where you’re at currently

Physio session this morning. Managed to annoy my left QL on one of my squat reps so it’s been pretty stiff. Treatment helped it massively as well as helping my know which is swollen again. QL was not 100% for the pull session but I pulled my big boy pants and got on with it. Felt safe enough to deadlift so cracked on.
