I use "expecting a bad workout" days as time to test other exercises and variants. Still doing work and learning but not putting myself through the wringer.

I’m convinced that some of my gains from this year came from rehabbing a shoulder injury. I was doing my physiotherapy routine and then just doing what I could with the rest of my body and I’m as strong as ever a year later.
