  • Closed Accounts Posts: 117 ✭✭Raven_Melody


    Breaking toes, wussing out on squats, dodge form on deadlifts, lots of ouchies, catching the plague...

    Are you sure this isn't my old log?! :) What's the story?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    I may or may not have caught training AIDS. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    Turns out I had some sort of stomach flu. Haven't been able to eat much this week and haven't trained either. Dropped 2kg somehow, even though I drank ~5 litres of water a day. So, wasn't water loss.

    Appetite returned late last night and I felt decent this morning. Just did an easy swole day today. Feeling decent. Gonna eat and see what happens with tomorrow.

    First time I've benched that wide in a long time. No shoulder pain - success.
    Back to close grip for 4 weeks then hopefully a PR on that somewhere along the line.

    I think I've caught the menopause - this log has become nothing but complaining and gayness. I'm actually complaining about complaining right now.

    Off work for two weeks, so gonna try get back on track.
