As I said you know your body pretty well, I’m nowhere near you, so it’s all long distance thinking.
And if you wants to train, and feel you could hit the weights fine, but don’t do due to illness, well then get that shit out of your body, and let us see some more Mark Badass lifting.
I still think you should do some higher intense cardio to get that heart beating. Moving around at work those a bit, but those sessions where your heart just pounds away and lets the blood flow fast through the veins are equally important.
And I don’t think twice a week high intense running, rowing, biking for 5 minutes will do your lifting any harm.
The only variable that’s different now is that you hit two comps relatively close together.
I can empathize with the lasting infection. I had the same thing last winter. It sounds like your nausea is from the mucous draining from your sinuses into your gut. I get that too.
It’s just a bad stretch. I don’t think you need to do anything drastic; just let your body recover.
Woke looking similar to yesterday. Scale batteries are dead, so no weight.
Did the sleep study, the electrodes on my calf kept getting loose and when I woke up their cable was pulled out of the main box. Hopefully that doesn’t screw the whole study up.
I’ve had some tea and don’t feel like hurling yet, so that’s a good start.
Bench press
Worked up to 25x187 lbs with 10 second rests - 8, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 1
Press
3x4x132 lbs
Chain flys replacing DB flys
2x18 - I saw the chain flys on Josh Bryant’s IG and he mentioned they are very shoulder friendly. My right front delt while better is still touchy so I figured I’d try it. Even though the chains are only around maybe 25 lbs I got a great MMC and stretch. Ten out of 10 would do again.
DB row
3x12x88 lbs
JM press replacing skull crushers
8x88 lbs
2x8x110 lbs
All up an hour and 20 minutes. I think I’m also getting the hang of shoulder distraction.
Woke looking much the same as the last couple of days. The cat managed to get the scale on last night so I hopped on and it came it at 262.1 lbs, so I’m probably sitting around the 258-260 mark on waking. I really need to remember batteries.
Woke looking a bit more bloated than yesterday. I’m going to go ahead and blame the two bowls of pasta I had for dinner. Scale wouldn’t turn on. Again.
