Starting to feel recovered, but still fatigued, from the food poisoning. Decided to push through and train today, and see what happened. Warmed up with some band dislocates, bodyweight squatting, light pressing, and then dug in.
Axle Press (bands): 1x4x75,75,125,135/10,130/10
Not terrible. I'm starting to feel like I'm getting a bit better with drive.
Zerchers: 1x10x135,225/10;1x1x185,135,135
Weird progression, huh? The backstory: 225 was easy weight, but hurt. A lot. In my low back/SI region. I mean really hurt. Gutted it out, but wow - and didn't make sense. Dropped to 185; same pain. Dropped to 135 - yeah, same pain. This made no sense. My setup was the same, feet positioned the same, same...wait a minute. I moved my belt up a couple inches prior to the first set at 225. Moved it back down, and immediately, much better. But after having that much pain, I decided to just consider this a lesson learned for next time.
3.0.3.0 tempo seated military: 1x6x45,45,95,135/9,130/9
Man, these still kick my butt.
Quick session, not the best, but I learned something, so not all bad.
Update: got out for a 2 mile hike. Sometimes slow - trails were icy, but good for my ankle proprioceptive development - and sometimes fast, when we found a stretch of close to 3/4 mile where the trail was relatively ice-free.

It's amazing what a minor adjustment can mean. I'm learning it with bar placement on the squat. The bar can be just out of the sweet spot on my back and it feels ridiculously heavy. It's not even enough to be obvious when I look but I feel it as soon as I go to unrack the bar.
