So, I was naive enough to think that moving to a new place wouldn't disrupt my training. Turns ou it's been about six days that I either sleep poorly or not enough. No more paying rent though. 295 on bench and 176 on press felt lighter than I expected, specially since I friend of mine saw me from across the gym and could tell how tired I was just from my appearance...

So, I got the kung flu and had to take a couple of days off of training. Nothing serious, just light fever and some coughing. Lost some weight a strength tough.

Got a press and power clean PR this week. Don't know what happened yesterday, I almost passed out on the last set of press and decided to skip the deadlift. Not sure how I'm going with the program next week... Bench will switch to 3's, I may retry the 3x5 press though.
