100x11. more back arch than i perceived during the set. my abs and glutes were engaged the whole time, though.

Sounds like tonsilitis to me. It will probably soon happen to me too due to the low water temperatures in my room.

fever was over 100 again for most of the day.

zomg, it is a forced deload / higher volume preparation phase, perfect!



Feel better man!

thanks vag, that made me lol. still feverish this morning, ~99.2/37.3. plus i woke up with mad chills/shivers and my neck is killing me. damn it.

summary of the last five days plus this morning:

wednesday: started feeling sick around lunchtime. went home, had fever, did not work out.
thursday: had fever in the morning, which rose throughout the day despite acetaminophen. felt like absolute garbage, no exercise. felt well enough by evening to do some mobility/stretching.
friday: worse than thursday, fever peaked at 102.3. chills followed by sweats, serious aches. difficulty swallowing. zero appetite, only managed some smoothie and a nature valley bar.
saturday: finally no fever, but serious headache and continued weakness. felt okay-ish by afternoon so went for a walk. better as afternoon progressed (well enough to fuck the bo-jesus out of my gf, yeehaw) until evening, when i started to get a headache and my neck got extremely stiff/achy. still little to no appetite -- could only eat half a cheeseburger for dinner, and some salad. took more ibuprofen. had a hard time getting to sleep but slept soundly for the first time since tuesday night once i did.
sunday: much better during the day, near normal. neck stiffness returned in the afternoon along with headache, difficulty swallowing, and, a bit later, lightheadedness. as i was going to bed i felt very cold for about 20 minutes and then very hot. woke up in the night to pee and when i came back to bed it was sweaty as hell (gross) and also i was comfortable with the temperature (yay).
monday: no fever or headache but still stiff neck and mild trouble swallowing.

well that fucking sucked. i'm gonna go to the track today unless it's raining. if it is, i'll go to the gym.

WEIGHT: 174
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: head, kind of badly at points, neck a little, low back a little
MENTAL STATE: annoyed at my headache, otherwise fine

- warm up
ow ow ow ow ow

- paused squat 275 x 2,2,2
easy, very deep.

- DL 185 x 10,10
easy but new, may feel this tomorrow

- OHP 95 x 5,5

- pull ups x 5,5,5

- hanging leg raise x 10,10,10

very easy workout just to try to avoid major DOMs and CNS drain, and to avoid making my headache even worse. this was not fun but it was good to get through it.

so the AM jumps didn't happen. thursday morning i woke to pouring rain and a headache. this morning i woke having not yet packed for the wedding i'm going to this weekend. but the sprints with t0ddday did happen last night.

WEIGHT: 175 in shoes and t-shirt
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right toe after the workout
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- sprint ~20m x 3; sprint ~50m x 5
racing t0ddday. on the longer sprints i got a handicap. he beat me until we moved the handicap out to 11-12m. that puts him about 1s faster, which makes sense.

- intensive tempo 200m x 4 (100m recovery)
30s each. failed on the last rep. these were hard.

- some random natural GHRs, pull ups and ab stuff, including a fun new ab exercise that i will be doing from now on.

- shoot around, some SLRVJ and DLRVJ and SVJ.
soooooo bad, best DLRVJ was 30. time to get a-practicin'. i know, i know.

great workout, so much more fun to do it with a partner. i'm sure i was faster than normal, too. the 200m intervals were humbling.
