Tuesday HR: 67.9 HRV: 77.6 – Off Day – Did some light sled dragging to pump some blood in my legs
Today HR: 71.9 HRV 72.3
A low score today. I had a low score last Wednesday too. Two weeks in a row not benching heavy is rough! I typically don’t work up to 315 on a de-load day but I had to move something I didn’t have to be embarrassed about.
Here’s what I did;
Bench: worked up to 315 for 1 set of 5
Incline DB Bench: 80’s for 2×10
Chest Supported Row: 80’s for 2×10
Standing Barbell Triceps Extensions: 75lbs for 2×12
DB Curl: 50’s for 2×8
DB Laterals: 30’s for 2×10
Inverted Rows on Rings: 2×10
My HRV better not be low next Bench day!

About hrvtraining
I hold an MS in Exercise Science and am a CSCS with the NSCA. I"m currently working in the Human Performance Lab at Auburn University (Montgomery) completing several research projects on HRV and exercise. I will be pursuing a PhD in Human Performance this Fall (2014) at the University of Alabama. Formerly, I worked as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Cal U in PA. I have an extensive athletic background including hockey, rugby and collegiate football. I now compete in raw powerlifting and was the 2010 Canadian National Champion (amateur). I am interested in all aspects of strength and conditioning however my research interest pertains to heart rate variability and its application to monitoring the training of athletes.
