Welcome to my log dude, was this posted in the right place?
Oh man that sounds pretty uncool. Did you get it checked out?
I mean, itās not CoVid, weāve all been testing very regularly. And there arenāt any other illnesses are there?
I suspect the vomiting and coughing are unrelated, except for one triggering the other. The coughs been going on for a long time, getting better and worse. The vomiting was only a few days and passed pretty quickly.

I got pneumonia last spring, despite not being an 80 year old man or having spent too much time in the rain (JK). I never got tested for COVID, since it was just hitting my area at the time and we didnāt really know how to react.
I was coughing to the point of throwing up for a few weeks, and have since then (so going on 2 years later) have found that if I āpushā myself, whether that means physical activity, being out in the cold, or even just laughing too hard, my chest and throat immediately feel ārawā and I go into a coughing fit that I canāt calm down from for several minutes.
No clue what the deal is but Iāve heard about ālong term COVIDā or something along those lines. Doctor hasnāt had any clue. Maybe it stuck with me. Or maybe itās completely unrelated.
Anyway, unasked-for-story over. Maybe you had COVID at some point and youāre still noticing effects of it? Or it could be something else entirely, like you said.
There, that was helpful, right?
Actually though, hope you all feel better soon. I respect you still getting your sh*t done even when Iām sure itās the last thing you feel like doing.

Sorry to hear that, 8 weeks is a long time to have that drag on for, hope that recovery comes any day now!

@jshaving I appreciate the effort to write all that out though man. I honestly think youāve put more thought into me getting better than me. My approach tends to be along the lines of: āIām not dead, therefore I donāt need a doctorā. Iām sure time will do itās thing.
@alex_uk to be honest, Iām not too fussed on the recovery for me. It would be nice to be training again, but Iām more concerned about the family getting some sleep and taking the stress off a little. No-ones really ill anymore, just ill enough to disrupt sleep and make people extra ratty.

If there is one thing I learned from the TRT forum, itās that all doctors are idiots.
If there are 2 things I have learned, itās that it is probably high estrogen

What kind of idiot makes a six figure salary giving medical advice when they can give it away for free on an anonymous internet forum? Idiots.

Thereās some legit merit to this.
On the other hand, go see a doctor. Better safe than sorry.

@kdjohn thatās pretty much it, yeah. Would Churchill go see a doctor? I appreciate the Eddie avatar too.

Work for today:
Press:
5 x 5 @ 60kg
TB shrugs: some
Front Squats: some
Notes:
- Press flew pretty comfortably to start with, but I tired really quickly. Breathing became really heavy, really quickly. This whole workout took me about 40mins, even supersetting everything, because of all the coughing and struggling to catch my breathe.
- Just played around with Shrugs to see how they felt. Seem to instantly fix neck pain, so thatās a winner. More experiments needed, but this could be absolute gold.
- With the Front squats, I was trying to find a heavier exercise to smoke my quads that wouldnāt involve much set up. These felt OK with some focus on TUT, they may get some use. I think Iām slowly moving to the point where I donāt even care that much about my max Squat and Iāll only be squatting for bigger legs and for the hormonal cascade. Iām not sure how I feel about that, as I hate heavy squatting, but I also hate high rep squatting.

How about doing these as a 1.5 rep. Squat down, half way up, back down, back up - 1 rep.

Iām already not locking out. Would the 1.5s add anything to that?
Only one way to know

Work for today:
Rows:
5 x 15 @ 60kg
Curls: some
Wrist roller: some
Diamond pushups: some
Notes:
- This all knackered me right out, and cold air made the coughing much worse. Not my brightest idea. Should have come in with a plan. Or, even better, not come in at all.

Kudos for giving it an honest effort.
