Shane's Over 35 Shenanigans

Off Day. Woke up in the middle of the night with chest congestion. Test says I am not positive for Covid, so I guess it’s just a cold.

Going to take a day off.

I’ve talked to a lot of people who have that and I think that’s what I’m fighting as well. (My wife has some mild chest congestion) I don’t think we’re planning to test for covid anymore. If we’re sick we’re sick. :joy: Still, the gym may have been a mistake for me this morning as now I feel super run down. You chose wisely.

Yeah my son was sick last week. Problem is when he is sick he gets out of his bed once I leave the house and goes and hops in my bed right on my pillows. I am surprised I am not sick more often than I am. :joy:

I do the at home covid tests. I work with a bunch of older people and I would hate to bring covid in to them and something to happen to them. If I don’t have covid or the flu I will be at work.

Still resting. Feel a lot better today.

My wife urged me to go to urgent care last night. Tested me for strep and flu and I passed.

I basically just have an upper respiratory infection. They are giving me a steroid and an inhaler.

I usually do a 10K row on Thanksgiving. I guess I will see how I feel tomorrow, if I feel ok I will try to do something. I have been thinking about doing a longer ride instead of a row. Riding definitely burns more cals.

That’s it. First workout back. Still a little snotty and a slight cough. Feel much better though. Hopefully everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

I did 2 birds this year. One smoked and one in the oven.

Came out good.

Great session back Shane! A ton of good work in that session. Sorry to hear that the crud hit you so bad last week. Glad you are feeling mostly better now. Those turkeys look amazing. I smoked one once and it came out tasting like ham so I haven’t done it again since. We fried ours. Way to get after it on the turkeys and lifting!

Thanks Trent. I use a Traeger turkey mix that is has a good flavor. Brine for 12 hours, smoke for a couple hours and turn the heat up and cook to temp.

I thought about frying my other turkey until I went to Walmart to grab some peanut oil and it was $54.00. Nope, turkey is going in the oven. LoL

Yeah, I forgot to ask how much my wife spent on the oil. Glad I didn’t. :sunglasses: :joy:

Hell yeah Shane! Nice leg session! 10x225 on squats is no joke. Especially for that many sets. I like how you switch between high bar and low bar. To me that equals “Terrible knee pain” vs “No knee pain.” They joys of getting older I guess… :joy:

Thanks Trent. The highbar on the smith machine doesn’t feel as bad on the knees for some reason. I hear you on the joys of getting older though. :joy:
