Had the flu all week which was a bummer. Didn’t do much other than walk outside exercise wise. Shot a match Friday night and moved well but made a bunch of mental errors. Felt decent lifting tonight though. Still working through the cough and lack of appetite but just about back to normal.

Sumo deads are so weird. I know I’m not going to crush my toes but the fear persists. Been very inconsistent in the gym lately.

@QuadQueen It’s just so lame haha, hope you’re on the better side too now!

General Update

Hit several workouts that I didn’t bother to log or write down. Mostly main lift and full body assistance or runs.

I need to rediscover dietary and gym discipline, like, now. It’s been a nice mental break but I also don’t need to think hard about what to do any more. So we started today.

The goal is to keep my workouts simple and effective. Going with 3s pro and 5x3 SSL on deads. Hinge, abs, and upper back for assistance work. I’ll cycle them out every three weeks. A little focused cardio to wrap it up.

Comically sore today. Hilarious how gassed I was by the time I got to the hack squats. Figured I’d start with the plate to see where to adjust and after one rep decided it was just the correct amount of weight for today.
