30412 Sunday #260 182. Started LG sessions, all teenies, 'cept me. Realizing I may have bitten off more than i can handle, or maybe it's that I wasn't 100%, still fighting the war and all. I lack bouyancy, treading with arms is tough enough, without, nearly impossible for me. Guess I could practice more. My toes were cramping, got to start the sea salt water stuff again, esp. with the BSR coming. I was wiped out afterwards, plus the cold made for an interesting night.
30512 Monday #261 180 - is normally rock bottom for me, today was just going back and forth between bed, the floor and the tub (hot baths/soaks) and the kitchen. The first thing I do once I can stand is wash dishes. I like having my hands in hot water, i noticed there was very little if any sweating with this war. Not many chills either... a lot of dehydration, dry mouth, taste distortion, cramping. I went thru many coconut waters 17 oz each. Coming out of it now. No lifting today and luckily GX sessions are on Spring Break. Thinkin' i might take an extra night off from the job, just b/c I can - plus that place is NOT conducive to healing. I'll go in when I'm sick already, but not when I'm getting better.
Can't bring myself to exercise, still rebuilding and planning. Legs tomorrow at Temple??
30612 Tuesday #262 180 - Sleep was weird, I felt strong in my dreams and tangled up in my sheet. Woke up easily like 3-4am Ate hearty, turkey canadian bacon, red potato fries mushrooms and onions, seemed to burn it off in my sleep.
So here's the deal.. to the IBC for legs, shoulders and a run if I can hang, then dinner then work. Day Uno is always legs
(no records today) Squats - Leg Slide Press - seated calf raise + shin flex (shin flex doesn't work well due to the type of wts there. Leg extensions, standing lef curl. calf machine presses.
Shoulders - Military press, Shoulder lat-flies, bent flies, front raises, shoulder machine (tough).
30712 - Wednesday #263 182: Resume Oxy-E today after a recovery lay off. BSR training ran (run/walk) 4 miles down prkwy, which brough on coughing and made illness stronger.. or so it seems.
30812 Thursday #264 183: Legs are sore rt ankle playing up again. Suspension training - I can feel the body adapting, more control, more strength "new" muscles are getting used to doing this at work. This is awesome.
YMCA good session, sore ankle, no voice, stronger than last week and I'm still stronger than I ever was when I've been sick.
30912 Friday #265 181.5: Suspension training for the last 3 nites, lift therapy later today, maybe legs and vanity. Still coughing since 30812 AM @ work. Woke up slow and leisurely coughed myself to sleep, nose runny, going to Y for lift therapy. Decided to go heavy today and the theme was barbell work...
Deadlifts - progresses to 305 (4 sets total; started at 245) felt strong even tho sick.
Shrugs - went to 315 3 short sets 6 or less.
Row rev grip - came close to body wt... about 160-185 can't quite remember.
Military Press - 3 sets of 10, note to start with 15 lbs on each side.
Incline Press - small sets 115.. my barbell benching is weak. Is that the price of body wt training?
Curls... think i had 7 lbs on each side.
31012 - Saturday #266 - 183.5 up at 3am, off the previous night; did chores. Back and forth to bed all day... doing battle some very lite abs work in the eve/night. Coughing and bringing up phlegm so at least it's getting out of there. Haven't been sick like this in so long, maybe 12 years now. Gotta start at zero again. Hope it doesn't become a habit.
Some of the characteristics of this virus I've noticed: No stuffy nose, nose often seems to run for no reason and without warning, changing from outside to inside triggers it. There was no coughing until the day I ran, then all kinds of "coughing fits" especially at night or lying on my back. Also no fever and the energy drain only seems to come... or I only succumb to it when I don't have anything important to do. The coughing makes for a sore throat, bit no swelling-type sore throat. Been throwing back the vitamin C's; sea salt in my water and drinking lots, esp at work. Coconut water, tea and elixir (ginger, clove, cinnamon.) And protein drinks too.
