Getting over a cold has always been a bitch. Chest colds especially. The recovery seems to be long and weak.

Getting over a cold has always been a bitch. Chest colds especially. The recovery seems to be long and weak.

Fortunately, this one wasn't a chest cold. Unfortunately, it seems to have come along with what might be a sinus infection. I'm not sure, as I've never had one, but I've had a weird headache most of the week that seems to be slowly going away.

2 minutes rest, beltless.

It's been a month or so since I've done a successful lift above 325, so I'm backing off a bit to build up to it again.

I haven't done these in over a month, so a little bit lighter to get back into it.

Squats:
365x3 -- PR
365x1+f
365x1

On the third rep of the first set, I wasn't fighting to get it up as much as to keep it balanced -- the bar came a little forward. This may have doomed the next set.

I didn't rest after the failure, just unloaded, reracked, and reloaded the bar. I was hoping to get the 2 that I missed, but that wasn't happening.

SLDL:
275x8x2

Rower:
2 minute warmup
6 x :40/1:20
2 minute cooldown
Avg HR: 153
Max HR: 180

On the last one, I kept going to see if I could get my heart rate up to 180. I didn't collapse in utter exhaustion after this, so maybe I can get it higher.

I think I took the "Do your fives" part of the t-shirt the wrong way. Sure, 3+1+1 = 5, but I don't think that's what it meant.
