Rest Week (wrist weak)

Took the week off to rest my sore forearm ligament, along with all my other joints and my central nervous system.  My muscles might have needed it, but I didn't really feel any serious soreness after the deload week.  The week off seems to have helped.  My tennis elbow isn't all the way better, but it's a lot better than it was.  I'll need to keep babying it a little outside the gym

This was also my first full week without dairy.  Not lifting means I didn't have anywhere near the appetite I've had lately.  Likely, those two factors combined let me drop 5 lbs this week.  I'm hopeful that it was mostly inflammation and fat lost.  I don't feel any less muscular (i.e. like I've lost muscle), but I've also been deliberately avoiding serious exertion so I could rest as completely as possible.  New 4-week cycle of 5/3/1 starts tomorrow.

Weight (Sunday): 185 lb
