Got an exertion headache on Wednesday, took Friday off, felt it again on Saturday on pullover and leg press, but focused on breathing (avoid Valsalva) and it felt much better, so the rest of the workout felt very good. Have been taking a lot more ibuprofen than usual, and really hydrating. I will survive.

I am pleased with my strength gains so far, and will only workout this Tuesday and Thursday, but will ratchet back some weight gradients in order to increase the conditioning component of this HIT regimen. Faster but lighter. Then heavier again.

Saturday and Sunday I did some forearm and ab workouts: mace, ab wheel, 1.5 gripper, 25-35 minutes each, and took a good walk with the family Monday evening.
