Day 15:
**Tactical Barbell Pre-Base Building W3D??**
Short on time, so I just went for a run.
5 min warmup walk
10 rounds of:
* 60s run
* 90s walk
A pleasant run overall. Felt great, but then I slept poorly the night after. Woke up feeling *worse* than when I went to bed. Limbs kind of sore.

Day 16:
**Tactical Barbell Pre-Base Building W3D1 (take two)**
Empty bar (45lbs) for all, except sit-ups (bodyweight only). 90s rest between each set.
3 circuits of:
* OHP x30
* Bent-over row x30
* Squat x30
* RDL x30
You'll notice the situps are missing. I in the first circuit, I felt a spasm(?) in my abs around rep 25. I kept going, and felt it again with rep 29. It didn't feel good. So, I decided to just drop the situps and finish the rest. It was a long workout, and tiring, but I felt good afterwards. Endorphins?

Day 18:
**Tactical Barbell Pre-Base Building W3D3**

3 circuits of:
* OHP x30
* Bent-over row x30
* Squat x30
* RDL x30
* Situps x10
Abs still felt a bit iffy when doing situps, so I kept the reps low. Otherwise, it was OK. Just kind of grinded my way through the workout.

Still playing it safe with the situps, but trying to progress as well. Overall, it was an OK workout. I wouldn't say it was easy, but I also wouldn't call it grueling either.

It went well overall. Felt kind of reluctant starting out, but got into the flow of things by the mid-point, and the rest of the run just flew by.

Back after a few days out of the gym. Felt good to return to things. Workout went smoothly, so I guess my gains (such as they are) didn't evaporate.
