So im still sick 
this has really set me back i eas hoping to smith machine front squat 100×10 this week and i would have but now itl probably take me two more weeks . I hope I haven’t lost alot of strength. The hardest part is eating food whilst sick but iv been forcing myself to and sticking sticky notes in my room that say eat food to motivate myself to eat.

Have you been eating enough recently? Calorie and vegetable/fruit wise?
Personally I haven’t been sick in three or four years (as far as I remember), and I’d say that has a lot to do with the fact that I’ve been pounding down food
A light walk could help too, just get some fresh air

Yes its just the cold and not covering up properly aka wearing shorts in a shirt when i should some days at least wear pants. The sickness has been going around town though i think

Make sure to cough all over anything your ex left at your place and then return it to her ASAP.

I’m guilty of doing that as well, going out in shorts and a t-shirt when it’s -25℃ outside, never got sick though
Hopefully you get well soon
By the way, it’s astonishing to think that we are actually having a real-time conversation now from different completely different sides of the planet
I got to go now, so the real-time stuff ends for a while

Have you tried it with your chest supported on a low Incline Bench?

I like this row variation from John Meadows. Go light and ensure you initiate the movement with lats and they work great. Normal t bar row is up there as one of my favourites also.
