Woke at 263.5 lbs, looking similar to yesterday. I’m guessing salt? Inflammation? Who the fuck knows…
Got eight hours on the CPAP. Throat is pretty GD sore again, so I’m tossing up between trying to ride it out or go back on the antibiotics and enjoy stomach cramps and the associated bathroom tours.
Do it. It will suck until you are cured. Last time I quit antibiotics early I got twice as sick as the first time around. Doc told me thats why we dont stop the antibiotics early LOL.
Then eat some Yogurt or Sauerkraut and bananas etc for some pro/prebiotics to get the stomach back on track. Antibiotics kill all the good stuff in our guts as well as the bad stuff in our body.
Jesus I’m jealous of your squat… but I got ya in bench, I think 
You might got me in bench but I got you in total 
I may well have to @BOTSLAYER although the throat has calmed down some since I got up and had fluids.
I’m just gonna go ahead and take that as a challenge and accept it 
I was hoping you’d say that
Ok, so today isn’t panning out brilliantly.
I’m tired as shit, which sucks. CPAP seal was fine, so it isn’t that.
My throat and lips are dry as shit, no matter how much I drink. Maybe I’m running a fever again. Who knows?
Throat still sucks, although at least it isn’t that painful.
I’ve got some kind of weird heartburn shit going on that feels like a knot or something right under the top of my sternum.
I can’t tell if I’m hungry or my stomach hurts but my appetite sure isn’t there.
It’s taking a lot of determination not to leave work right now
Mate I’m home cause my daughter had another turn at school yesterday. If you feel that bad, hang up your boots and go home.
It’s tempting, but I’ve got a couple of hours till home time and I seem to be pulling through ok. Trust me though, if tomorrow shapes up similar I’m keeping the bed warm.
How’s your daughter going? Do they know what caused it?
She has a viral chest infection, a bit of fluid in the right lung and is coughing like a 40 a day smoker.
I don’t know why they didn’t pick it up at the hospital on Sunday. If she started antibiotics 4 days ago it would probably be gone now. Never mind she is ok today other than the cough and enjoying a sunny day at home with dad.
Sucks, but at least you know.
They can be funny with that kind of stuff, especially with kids. They took around a day, maybe two, to figure out Mrs KO had fluid on her lungs a while back.
Pulled up better as the day went on. I think @simo74 helped somehow
Either way, figured I may as well train because there’s chance I’ll actually be crook tomorrow but today I’ve got a shot of getting through even if it pushes me over the edge (thinking isn’t always my strong suit)
Todays training
A few side bends with empty barbell (while I’m at it may as well increase injury risk by skipping warmup since training might make me sick)
Deadlift, stiff bar
Worked up to
4x2x490 lbs
6x490 lbs on my AMRAP
So these were actually fine, although after each set my nasal passages closed up a bit
Also, got my belt to its tightest since nationals, when I was eight pounds or so lighter. Wasn’t a struggle either.
Dead stop DL
2x5x418 lbs
Gah
Pendlay row
3x4x264 lbs
Split squats
2x15x66 lbs - used the SSB because. Regretted this, but at least I didnt drop it on my ankle. Also because ankle I leaned forward more and this absolutely molested my glutes.
All up an hour and 20 minutes. Skipping warmups and stretching saves major time.
I appreciated this phrase. Hope you’re feeling better today
Happy to help young man, happy to help ! 
Ahahah the glutes were pretty violated in here
Strong session Mark, great way to stay out of sickness… Hope you’re fine when you wake up.
Woke at 260.4 lbs, looking a bit more bloated. Didn’t eat much yesterday except for dinner, so that makes sense. Throat still hurts a fair bit but I actually feel pretty decent apart from that.
@mortdk not sure how that works, but I’m not complaining.
You doing salt water gargles for your throat? Cheapest, most accessible known home remedy that actually works. Same goes for nasal rinses.
I have done in the past, works a treat for tonsillitis. Not sure if it’ll help swollen glands though. Guess I may as well give it a shot though, can’t hurt right?
