    Sunday 5/28/17, 2:05pm, BW=183.0lb, Waist=31.5in, Kcal/day (7 day average)=3021

    Press: 120x1, 120x2, 120x2 [This was supposed to be 2,2,2. My last warmup set was 105x2; probably should have added a 115x1 into there.]
    Chins: BWx6, (BW+25)x5, (BW+45)x2, (BW+45)x2
    Bench (narrower): 95x5, 155x5, 155x5, 155x6
    BB curls: 95x5, 95x6 [Made an interesting discovery: the short bar is not 35lb. Today I couldn't find it so I used the standard 45lb bar and 95lb with it was heavier than "95lb" with the short bar.]
    Rev curls: 75x10, 80x10
    Dips: BWx5, (BW+45)x4, (BW+35)x5

    Thursday afternoon I started to get a cough; by night I had chills and a barking, burning type cough. When I woke up Friday I had full-blown flu symptoms. Yes, I dutifully got my flu shot last October despite questioning the efficacy of this particular annual ritual. Fever is gone today and although I still don't feel 100%, I went in to the gym. Surprisingly it was a very good session; the rest seemed to do me good. Maybe I should consider spreading my four days out by only doing three sessions a week.

    After Monday's successful training session I relapsed into sickness Tuesday peaking Wed night/Thurs morning with a fever of >100F. Temp was fine by Thursday evening but not to take any chances, I waited until today to get back into the gym. Not a stellar session because I wanted (315x2)x3 on my squats but a success because I actually made it in.

    I am wondering if my foray into 8/5/2 just wore me down, especially 3 sets of 8 on deadlifts. Within 3 weeks, I had my first bad cold in two years and first flu in 11 years. I actually enjoy the 8's in a masochistic sort of way but I am not sure they are sustainable in the long run.

    Monday 6/12/17, 1:30pm, BW=183.8lb, Waist=32.0in, Kcal/day (7 day average)=2949

    Squats: (275x5)x3
    Deadlifts: 225x5, 275x3, 315x8
    SGDL [straps]: (275x5)x2

    I decided that on the 8s week I would only do one top set of deadlifts. I think the three sets across on deadlifts is what dug me a hole and got me my first flu in 11 years. On the 5's week I will do two top sets and on the 2's week I will do three top sets (I found 2,2,2 to be the easiest week even though it was the heaviest.
