I've been out for the last week due to a flu virus that crashed our house last week. I came down with it late last Sunday. Chills/fever/sweats for 2-3 days, then cough and congestion. Just starting to feel myself again last night. Workout went surprisingly well, despite being a bit out of breath during rows.

lso, lost about 5lbs of bodyweight. AM Bodyweight was 206 - lowest I've been in a while. Maybe some good Christmas eating will fix that

Good workout despite suboptimal diet last night (too much red wine).
Got a 3 plate bench this morning ( barely) for the first time in a long time. Depending on my bodyweight, I'm pretty close to a 1.5xBW bench, which is the goal.
LBBS felt good too - first time I've done a 400+ squat for more than a single in a while.
