That's the kind of PR you should put up on the gym board! Or maybe just put up a board in the bedroom. Looks like I'm buying a chalk board this weekend...

I've been sleeping like crap all week due to fighting whatever my kids brought home from school (cough and congestion).
It is putting up a great counterattack.

Hold the line!! Good on you for training anyway. I love my son, but I sure miss not getting sick every damn time a new kid starts daycare...

I probably would have died if squats were involved. Tomorrow is squats and deadlift. I already feel quite a bit better from yesterday, but I need to sleep through the night tonight.
My wife is a teacher and the kids are 5 and 8, so it is a miracle that one of them has not brought home cancer or aids or something.

Felt decent yesterday and Saturday. Definitely still sick, but chumming with snot all morning at the beach on Saturday seemed to help. Started a cycle of steroids yesterday: Over-the-Counter Allergy Medicine | FLONASEŽ Allergy Relief. I now expect to double all my lifts by June.
Had a horrible morning:
Woke at 3:00 AM because the Mucinex worte off.
Woke at 3:30 because my daughter decided that would be a good time to start crying about wanting to watch cartoons.
Woke at 4:00 because my son pissed his pants.
Woke at 5:00 because my daughter wanted to revisit the "how early is too early for cartoons?" debate.
Of course she fell asleep 15 minutes later and at that point I just told the wife that considering that I was now up in every possible way we might as well naked wrassle a bit. That might have given me 15 minute more sleep afterwards.

Wednesday 5/3 95 Minutes
Volume Squat
Squat 295 x 4 x 5
SLDL 225 x 6 x 2
Chin BW x 5,5,4
Curl 25's x 8
Still sick enough to make these squats suck today. I also somehow forgot to start training at 10AM vs 12PM, which wouldn't make much difference except that my first real meal is post training except for some BCAAs, creatine, and a scoop of Gatorade.
Oh, well. Made it through.

Friday 5/5 75 Minutes
Recovery
Press 120 x 5 x 3
Squat 240 x 5 x 3
Inverted Row BW x 8 x 3
Still a bit sick. Felt like I could have slept a few more hours this morning in spite of around 8 hours of sleep. My right elbow/ brachialis has been bothering me a bit on the descent of presses for about the last three sessions. Today was the worst yet. I realized it is probably me trying to bring my squat grip in too much.
Well that's a bunch of grumpy whining shit.
Probably just pop some ibuprofen this weekend and hope for the best.
Now get off my lawn!
