last night:

BW = 177
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = head, low back (?)
FATIGUE = moderate

- warm up

- DLRVJ x 8
fast but no power. all around 31.5-32, which sucks. but it's good to feel fast even when my head hurts. not sure where the headache came from.

- MR half tuck x 20,20

- squat 305 x 5,5,5
have video, will post later. last reps on second and third sets were slow but not good-morninged, i managed to keep hips from shooting too badly.

- stretch

stopped there because i'm going to check out one of the new gyms tonight that i'm thinking about joining, and so i'll just do upper and core stuff there. no lower back work, though, gotta save that for 310 x 5,5,5 tomorrow.

checked out the fancy new gym tonight. in the gym store (they have a store in the gym) they sell...wait for it...jewelry. this is fucking strange. basically, it's a completely different aesthetic and feel from what i'm used to, and not for the better. still, the court looked super nice. occupied, but nice. and they would give me a cheaper rate than the one quoted online, and i think i could finagle my way out of paying a full penalty if i end up not liking it after 3 months or if the Y opens up near my house and is a better option.

also, i didn't watch any tv tonight. that was not by choice but because my roommate argued with me. but i'm kind of glad he did.

anyway, did get some business done.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = head (very low-grade but there)
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- bench 155 x 10+3+3+3
easy

- DB row 65 x 10e,10e,10e
easy

- SS1: curl 27.5 x 10e
- SS1: toes to bar x 10
- SS1: tricep kickback 27.5 x 10e
- SS1 info: 2 rounds, 60s between exercises, an extra set of TTB at the end.

- cool down

- stretch while looking at a badonk on the treadmill that would have made raptor cum faster than a new adistar workout video.

headache persists and i just generally feel bad. slept in and was late to work but doesn't seem to have helped. debated whether to go to the gym but 48-hour headaches are weird for me. gonna see if it doesn't go away after a night off. will still do some foam rollering/stretching and some light exercise but otherwise will just wait 'til tomorrow.

LBSS · « **Reply #1413 on:** September 27, 2012, 01:48:38 pm »

feel even worse today than yesterday. headache is still there, and general "blech" feeling but since last night i've also had terrible stiffness/soreness in my neck. this sucks.

LBSS · « **Reply #1414 on:** September 27, 2012, 07:16:46 pm »

so it appears that i'm legitimately sick. i feel okay for the most part -- not well enough to have a good workout but well enough to go to the gym -- except my neck is incredibly stiff and in quite a bit of pain. because stiff neck is a hallmark of meningitis, i figured i'd call the doctor. turns out i probably don't have the really bad kind of meningitis (bacterial) because light doesn't bother my eyes. but i might have viral meningitis or west nile virus. sooooo i'm taking another day off, much as i want to go work out. having neck pain (and headache) like this precludes any hard exercise anyway -- can't swing arms, can't do valsalva, can't support anything on shoulders.

will find out more tomorrow, have an appointment to see the doctor at 11:30 just to make sure it's not something serious.

this blows, i'm rarely actually sick -- fatigued sure, food poisoning sure (afghanistan!), headache once in a while sure. but i haven't been sick enough to go to the doctor since i had whooping cough in college.

Good luck with your recovery, man.

Do you speak Arabic?

thanks man. quick update on that: i went to the doctor this morning. threw up about ten minutes after getting to the office, which was new. no nausea the previous few days. she did some tests and i got blood drawn -- won't have the labs back until tomorrow so unsure about that. but she was concerned enough to send me for an immediate CAT scan. ever had one of those? it's kind of cool, very sci-fi. much more fun than an MRI. i realized that i've now had all the main types of medical imaging except a PET scan. fun times.

anyway, the CAT scan was negative. so that's good because:

but i still don't know what's wrong with me.

beyond the arabic phrases that are universal in the muslim world (as salaam u alaykum/u alaykum as salaam, insh'allah, mash'allah, etc.), and a few other greeting-type phrases (ahlan wa sahlan/ahlan bik), nope.

Joe · « **Reply #1417 on:** September 28, 2012, 04:28:49 pm »

I haven't had any major medical procedures like that.

Thanks to that gif I'm imagining your CAT scan went something like Total Recall.

euphoria. still felt like shit this morning but took some ibuprofen and went to the gym anyway. and at the end of the workout, as i was walking out, i felt totally elated. not being able to work out sucks, being able to work out brings joy.

Joe · « **Reply #1419 on:** September 29, 2012, 05:02:37 pm »

Any more word from the doc? Seems like a good sign that you felt solid after this workout and that the headache is reduced.

LBSS · « **Reply #1420 on:** October 01, 2012, 10:17:47 pm »

doc called again this afternoon, just to check in. i feel fine now. i actually felt fucking spectacular this morning but unfortunately it had worn off by the time i got to the gym tonight. still no word on the west nile, i'm supposed to call back on thursday if i haven't heard from them. my roommate is now sick, presumably with the same virus.

BW = 176
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right wrist feels like i jammed it (?)
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

bad, mostly 31-32, one 32.5

- squat 275 x 8,8,8

- SS1: dip x 10

- SS1 info: 5 rounds, minimal rest between exercises, ~30s between rounds. will up reps and decrease sets next time.

- hanging leg raise x 10,10,10

- ab pull down x 30

- stretch

pissed about the jumps, i felt pretty good but the explosiveness was just not there. oh well. squats were very solid.

Nice squat numbers man. Hope everything works out with the doctor. Feel better.

that waiting game sucks especially when you might have something like west nile.

Quote

damn.. west nile can spread like that though? from person to person? or are you all getting bit by mosquitos around there.

florida has hardly seen any mosquitos this year, it's unbelievable.. yet cases of west nile/malaria are up, especially in texas, so i hear.

hope it's def not west nile.

pC

LBSS · « **Reply #1423 on:** October 02, 2012, 01:36:07 pm »

i don't think west nile is person-to-person contagious, either, and it's been cool here the last couple of weeks so mosquitos are way down. so my guess is it's some other kind of virus.

anyway, i feel better now so whatever, we'll see what they say when the blood work comes back.

BW = 177
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = right wrist a little but barely noticeable
FATIGUE = low to moderate

- warm up

- DLRVJ x 5
fuck crossfit. was all set to jump at my normal rim and then they decided they needed the area RIGHT UNDER THE FUCKING RIM to do their shitty power snatches. went to other rim but it's harder for me to jump there for some reason. maybe it's higher but that'd be weird as it's a regulation high school gym.

- MR half tuck x 15
- SL bound x 7e -- just for fun
- MR half tuck x 30

- squat 280 x 8,8,8
still solid but need to concentrate better at end of sets

- SS1: dip x 10
- SS1: inverted row x 10
- SS1 info: 5 rounds. did inverted rows on rings and very close to parallel. later sets were hard.

- ab pull down x 30,30,30

- stretch
