Yeah, pretty much the only reason I’m alive right now is liquid food.

Yeah thats pretty much what I did last time I got sick. I just threw back Metabolic Drive and Superfood shakes any time I could tolerate it. Granted I was only taking in about 1400 calories a day. If nothing else I got some solace in the fact it was good stuff I was taking in. Not to mention I rebounded much better after I got healthy again.

I’ve had 100+ degree fever for 2 days. Sweeeet.

I feel you on that, I tried to train through it the first day and while it was the “manly” and dedicated thing to do it was also really fucking dumb in hindsight cause I feel like a corpse now. =[

Nice work on these bro.

Pr today on Back squats, 505x2 reps. Need to give legs a rest for a few days, and try for new 1RM.

Highlights from last nights legs.

Solid rep and set PR on Squats 405*3,3 (used to be one or two REALLY shakey/unconfident ones)

Strength up on leg curls and one-legged leg press as well. Pretty stoked.

EDIT: Saw H4M’s PR and relegated to feeling small again…F UUUUuuuuu

Don’t worry man, I probably have an advantage in training time over you. Just keep adding weight and reps, only a matter of time.

That’s the plan according to my people.

yesterday was a fucking write off

started by doing push presses and almost injured myself, but even so apparently I can do more overall weight on DBs for more reps than I can on push presses with a bar? what the hell is going on here

I tried BTNs which are… ok, not really a fan. It was a bit hard too since I hurt my back a bit when I failed the push presses, but that soon cleared up.

Shrugs were about the only normal thing in the entire day.
220 x 10
240 x 5-6

had to end the set because I was literally on the verge of passing out

legs on tuesday, nothing special

squats
120 x 4

oh, apparently in single leg extensions my left leg is now stronger than my right even though last week it was far weaker…

anyway, legs was a nice day and I think I’ll be sticking to 2 main exercises per session making sure to do SLDLs first (if I do them), I think that will just work better.

385x3 front squats today, but no meth-head video!

Maybe when I hit 405 for a triple in a week or two…
