*notes – first day back in about two weeks.  The neurologist told me that although he doesn’t recommend it, I could probably get away with some low to moderate intensity workouts.  I figured this was a good one to try it out.  It went pretty well and I didn’t get the extreme headache I’ve been getting.  I monitored it pretty closely and really worked on breathing/water intake, but it was nice to be able to move some weight again.

Pretty happy with the squat.  The 5th rep of my final set, I rounded my back, but besides that, they went pretty well.  Pleased with this because while on GOMAD I peaked at 340×3x5.  I only did 4 sets for squat and 2 sets for press because it’s just too much volume for me at such maximal loads.

Going forward I may try another WOD or two this week, keeping with the low intensity plan and we’ll see how the MRI/MRA goes on Friday.

**Can’t thank the members/coaches of PCF enough for reaching out to me and asking how I’m doing.  It really means ALOT.
