Turns out I have pneumonia... I have high dose antibiotics but unless they start working inside of 24 hours (they should do) I will need to go into hospital.... Really hoping it doesn't come to that... I have plans this CHRISTMAS! | ||

I will start training next week again after a good 2 weeks off, weighed myself this morning and despite illness and struggling to eat much I've only dropped 3lbs so happy enough with that. Will attempt to up up protein and food intake now, itching to lift but know I have to be careful. Hearing stories this week of healthy 40 year old dying from what I have had kinda brought it home to me so I will be being very careful. New routine will be very similar to my last but the big 4 will have a lower rep/strength building angle to them before my bodybuilding stuff, i'll run this for a few months as I transition back to a full strength program and blast again. Apologies for not being around your journals lads, hope you are all well and enjoying the holidays, normal service resumed soon. | ||

Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Ok, first session in 2 weeks and after possibly the worst illness I have ever had, still struggling with my eating but feeling improved to what I was, just took things nice and steady.... Upper 1 Paused Bench Press 60kg x 10 80kg x 10 100kg x 5 120kg x 5 140kg x 1 160kg x 1 140kg x 3 140kg x 3 140kg x 3 140kg x 3 Nice and steady, 160kg felt light which I was not expecting but moved easily, left it there and went back down to my triples with 140kg, all moved ok just lacking any explosion which is not unexpected. Felt good and no issues with my lungs. Wide Grip Smith Behind Neck Press 60kg x 8 60kg x 8 60kg x 8 Nice and comfy and minimising total work still, delts pumped nicely and all nicely controlled. Yellow Back Machine 103kg x 12 103kg x 12 103kg x 12 Feeling light and got a good pump. Upright Bench Press Machine 90kg x 8 90kg x 8 90kg x 8 Again down a little from where I was but comfy and moved well and still feeling good in myself. Pec Dec 84kg x 8 84kg x 8 84kg x 8 Slow controlled reps with a big squeeze, felt great. Strict Dumbbell Lateral Raises 13.5kg x 8 13.5kg x 8 13.5kg x 8 Arms straight out with perfect slow controlled form, maybe a smidge light still but being careful and something to build on. Machine Preacher Curls 50kg x 8 50kg x 8 50kg x 8 Solid reps, enjoyed these. Weighted Dips BW + 10kg x 8 BW + 10kg x 8 BW + 10kg x 8 All moving easily and lots more there but being sensible and I can build these easily. And that was that, felt great to be back, I was sensible but got a good session in and most importantly I am feeling ok after, lungs feeling ok, no bad coughing anymore, feels like I am slowly coming back. Just need to get my appetite back. Off tomorrow then paused deads and lower session Thursday. Vid of my 4th set of 3 with 140kg... | ||

 my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | Good to see you well enough to lift mate. Looks like you had a good Christmas despite knocking on deaths door. At least you managed to get some proper rest without concerns of the gym. Are you 100% now or is it still hanging on? | ||

Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Thanks John....it'll be a while before sessions are anything half decent but considering how ill I have been i'll take where I currently am! The slow comeback continues today. Morning BW 106.1kg Lower 1 Deadlifts - Beltless 60kg x 10 100kg x 5 140kg x 5 180kg x 5 225kg x 3 225kg x 3 225kg x 3 225kg x 3 225kg x 3 225kg x 3 225kg x 3 225kg x 3 Very very out of practice and the thing that hrt the most was my hands lol...gone soft while off. Weight felt heavy to start with due to loss of skill but soon clicked back in and they all moved quite easily...as they should really. Really enjoyed pulling again. Hack Squats 120kg x 8 120kg x 8 120kg x 8 Again a slow start back..15kg down on my working weight pre illness but they moved pretty easily and got a nice quad pump going on, they will soon build back. Lying Hamstring Curls 60kg x 10 60kg x 10 60kg x 10 Not lost much on these, very explosive and slow negatives, hams pumped up nicely..a good start. Seated Calf Raises 40kg x 12 40kg x 12 40kg x 12 Feeling comfy enough, made sure to get a good ROM and they were hit nicely. Kneeling Rope Crunch 35kg x 15 35kg x 15 35kg x 15 Nice little ab work to finish off on and got a good burn going, decent reps. And that was that, still low volume and not pushing things but its coming back slowly, appetite is back too so despite weight being down i'm feeling much better. Lungs not hurting now, slight cough after lifting but nothing really. Enjoying being back, I will be one session down this week but not worried, back to normal next week. Vid of one of my light deads today... | ||
