HITT Rower Intervals - 20/140 8 intervals.
A lot of my liberal friend/family members esp. on FB, are now posting admonitions about lockdowns and their harms. They are all slllllooowwwwly turning around and hollering this at the people who've been saying this a month or two out from the lockdowns.
I've also noticed family/friends who have NO comorbidities but live in NJ or NY are getting sick and flat out panicking! Running around to find tests, to go to urgent care, to go to the hospital. wth?? Here, we all had it. Apparently I had it during my peak/taper (thought it was a result of the training) got all dizzy yesterday after training; and my SO was down with it all week; none of us became hysterical. CDC is also admitting people died because they were already sick so there IS a with covid and a not from covid???!!
And so now my liberals are telling me, the problem is, no one KNOWS they have comorbidities.
And also, that I have a comorbidity - age is a comorbidity. WTH?
POSITIVE COVID TEST.
So, yeah. I guess that's what went wrong with the peak/taper etc. go figure.
For me it was a headache that wouldn't go away for almost a week, a few sniffles, a sore throat (very slight but annoyingly there - bc I don't have a throat, the guy cut it all out when he tried to remove my 6yo tonsils), and a lot of fatigue, one day where I just laid around dozing all day. And the weird dizzy/passing out thing yesterday (but I had none of that doing HIIT intervals today, so ?).
I saw some bullshit article that exercise is a huge covid risk. What horseshit.
Where and how you are most likely to catch COVID
Life goes on I guess.

It looks like a home gym is still a great investment for many reasons.
I really have no room; left all of my stuff in VA - two bars (Olympic womens and a Texas power bar - wah!) metal plates all my bumpers.
It’s really too warm and sticky in FL I think to build an outdoor gym. I’m not sure it’d be permitted; fl has no basements (it’s why garages here are so messy or people have sheds - my neighborhood the larger properties [hard to find - no more 3 acres for us] have large quonset huts) and my house has no garage. I already have the frame of a structure my so built next to the shed but would have to take it much further. It’s not bad in the gym, I see my influence; yes they look at me like a bug, but I see guys/girls “squatting” and deadlifting and power cleaning now that told me “I can’t” when I arrived. I wish I could have a stack of the blue book when I work to hand out.
Skipped yesterday, felt really really bad (exploding head, unable to really move) and now - I am busy kicking the shit out of Covid. Hopefully I crush it like a Cheeto.
Feeling crap. BW 174, wth?
Felt surprisingly strong with the day off & so much napping, considering I can barely speak and still so congested with cough, stayed way low on DL.

Holy Moly, that sure is workout!
Its just different; it is all very light, so a big break from what I was doing. Probably needed, a lot of niggles seem to be less stressful.
I skipped last Friday bc I was ill, will see how I feel after this Friday (some more pulling); I still can't taste or smell anything, trying to maintain my weight.
