Readiness
Push. Readiness 72, HRV 83ms — below your ~102ms threshold (1 SD under baseline), but you're day 26 of a ~24-day average cycle: late luteal, period likely imminent. That's exactly where HRV drops and sleep softens (79 last night vs mid-80s) — expected, not overtraining. RHR normal (47bpm). No Oura tags (no alcohol/travel/illness) muddying this. Train Day 3 as planned; expect legs to feel heavier than the numbers suggest.
Watch For
Late-luteal heaviness is real today — high RPE on the bumped lifts isn't a red flag. Separately: Tuesday's Day 2 session (squat/shoulders) had heavy skips and 5 lifts now flagged plateau (Back Squat, Hack Squat, DB Lateral Raise, Seated DB Press, Cable Front Raise) — not today's problem, revisit variant swaps next Wednesday.
Nutrition
Late luteal + lift day: lean into protein (130g floor) and a bit more carb than usual — appetite bump is physiological (Stacy Sims), not a signal to fight; save GI caution for tomorrow's run fueling, not today's lift.
