Dude, I went down with it on Tuesday and am maybe feeling 60% today. I still haven’t lifted though. It’s brutal. I hope you fight this faster than I seem to be!

Thank you!
Hopefully you are making your way through it. At least if we get sick now maybe Christmas day will be funk free.

Hope you are feeling better. I don’t think mine is nearly as bad as yours.

Went by Urgent Care, they tested me for all the usual suspects. No flu, no Vid, No strep. Ok so it’s a virus. Went by my pharmacy to pick up what they called in. Z pack. Ok, well a antibiotic isn’t going to do anything to a virus so unless my snot turns green I will bank this for later.
Seems like yesterday morning’s drainage and sore throat was the worst of it. Today is about 50 percent of yesterday’s misery, hopefully that trend continues.

I know few things medical. But I never understood the Z pack strategy for a virus. There might be a legitimate reason?

Yeah, I’ve never understood why they prescribe an antibiotic for a virus. As with many other things that the medical field does…
I touched base with a lot of people from the neighborhood this weekend and almost all of them have had this mild upper respiratory thing where they lose their voice for a day or two. I guess that’s what we have. They all said it is pretty mild but lasts a while. We shall see…

Honestly I don’t know. Pretty sure it’s to help just in case of sinus infection.

That’s pretty much what I got. Sore throat, losing my voice kind of like laryngitis. Still a little stuffy but the sore throat is gone.

Heck yeah! I was wondering if you were going to work out today but would have bet that you would have. 
Great session! Just unbelievable numbers on CGBP… Glad your sore throat is gone and you’re on the mend!

Took yesterday off. Body said it was still needing rest so I listened.
Dropped SLDLs and did some lower impact movements as I am not recovering well right now. Specifically my knees. What I am eating probably has something to do with it too though.

Good looking session Shane! Nice and strong on those squats and some very notable heavy/high rep sets on Leg Press. I hear you on the knee pain. I’ve been having some of that too. I was wondering if it had anything to do with the weather changing back and forth from cold to warm and humid.

Thanks Trent. I think mine is just over use. I always come back to I can do a couple of things heavy, but everything I do can’t be balls to the wall. If I could ever remember that it would probably serve me well.

People keep posting equipment pictures. This makes me want to join a commercial gym. But I do not want to? The gyms in town are charging $60.00 a month.

Just realized I only saw the bottom half of that session. Great job on the chest supported rows as well! Cool looking machine!
