24-hour stomach flu has wiped me out! I'm super dehydrated and while today was a key lift day for the week, it won't be happening.
I hit a killer deadlift session on Tuesday, working up to low 500s double-overhand, then finishing off with 4 sets of Romanian pulls for 20 reps each. That really put the hurt on!
So Wednesday, when I got sick, trying to recover from Tuesday, while throwing up and not eating, was beyond rough. I've had no solid food in almost 48 hours, at this point!!
Recapping, otherwise:
Monday was bench where I worked up to 365 x 5
Friday was a lot of squatting with a killer final set of 20 reps that made it hard to walk until Tuesday!
Overall, things are going well. I continue to get stronger, and even when I'm not making sizable gains, can tell I'm cementing strength. It is like on bench, where even with a few months off, I'd almost always be able to get 3 plates. Similarly, certain other lifts are reaching new thresholds that always seem to be reachable, even when I don't perform them, specifically, on a regular basis.
Tomorrow, I should regain a little bit of strength, so hopefully by Saturday I can lift again!
Thanks for reading!
