For my past 2 workouts the 30 lb barbell has been in use for my OHP so today instead of picking up Dumbbells I used the 40 lb barbell and only got 3/3/1/1 no 5x5 at all.

Question for Fitbit Blaze Owners
I currently have a charge HR and I'm thinking about upgrading to the blaze because I like that you can see your workout summary on the display. My question is whether the blaze is comfortable to sleep with on because it's so much bigger than my charge HR? For those who use the blaze to track sleep is it uncomfortable?…
