Weird getting sick in the spring. Squat 45 x 4 x 3r 135 x 3 225 x 2 315 x 1 365 x 1 410 x 8 x 2r - less than 30 minutes including bsing on Facebook.

EricMilfeld Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Seems like you've been getting sick frequently, Jason. Are you eating your Wheaties every morning? Work stress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'd been sick since once this winter. Head cold, sinus' stuff. Just checked my journal and it was mid-January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 May 14, 2015 Before Supper Week 2. Still sick with this head cold. At least exercising loosens up the boogies so I can breathe but my lung capacity isn't there. Sweating like crazy too. Good job it's a light day at the beginning of the cycle. Cut it a bit short. Deadlift - DO until the 5th workset 135 x 4 x 3r 225 x 2 315 x 1 335 x 6 x 5r Snatch Grip from Blocks 225 x 2 x 15r BB Row 225 x 5 x 10r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 May 17, 2015 Before Supper Week 2. Still pretty sick and was seriously contemplating not doing anything today. Kept it minimal instead. Probably lost at least 1/4 cup in mucus. Hope I didn't need it for anything.

Shoggoth Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 May 18, 2015 Before Supper Week 3. Still sick. Lots of mucus from my sinuses and lungs. Cardio capacity is really crap now. Kept with a lighter weight with the front squats as the choking was really exasperated today. Back squats went good yet and finished all of my worksets within 18 minutes.

Shoggoth Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Way to hang in there under the circumstances! Thanks man. I think part of getting older and doing this stuff for a while is the understanding of what a guy is capable of when feeling less than stellar. Squats are probably the biggest test of what a guy can do when the brain and body are fighting you. You've tested tested your bodies capabilities a helluva lot more than me but I'm always amazed. Lifting is such a great endeavor to learn about yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Good stuff, Jason. Oddly enough, some of my best workouts have been accomplished feeling like crappola. The first few days of feeling ill seem to be the sweet spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a hormonal change in response to the bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 May 24, 2015 Afternoon Week 3. Feeling good about hitting some good presses later this summer. Strict Press 45 x 3 x 10r 95 x 5 135 x 3 160 x 2 180 x 3 x 8r 95 x 20, 15, 10 Poundstone Curl - First time curling in ages Bar x 3 x 30r 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Impressive pressing! One of my current goals is a 200 pound strict press, which would be huge for me. I doubt I could have done 200 even when I was benching 350. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
