fever back in a big way last night, got up to 102.6/39.2. felt fine earlier in the day, went to class, no problem. but as i was on my way home from campus i started to feel shitty again. pretty sure it’s the flu. which is annoying because my gp clinic offers free shots, which i blew off. last time i make that mistake. temp down to 101/38.3 but i feel awful. rest and hydration, and trying to eat. could not even contemplate dinner last night.

went to the gym yesterday but as soon as i started to run, i felt some weird twinges in my lats (???) and upper abs/lower chest (???). decided that my body was just not recovered yet, did some mobilizations and stretched and foam rollered, and packed it in.

- run 8.21 km in 42:05
struggle bus. legs weak. and i do seem to have strained muscles on the front and back of my ribs. not sure how. maybe i was overzealous with the cat-camels? but then the pain started before i did them the other day. anyway it wasn't severe today, but definitely there.

- stretch

woof.

- warm up run x 2 km

- mobilizations

- squat 85 x 5,5,5
felt much better

~~- bench~~
the gym was slammed, both benches had three-dude rotations on them. need to find a better time to go.

- pull up x 5,5,5

- dip x 5+5

- core circuit x 2
-- prone leg circles x 5/direction
-- hollow body hold with crossing toe touches x 5/side

- stretch

alright, alright.

oh yeah, them sweet newbie gainzzzz. although this is prob the last time i'll jump 10kg from one session to the next.

- bench 65 x 5,5,5

decided to start adding reps to the first set, then second, then third, then back to first. let's see how that goes.

- core circuit x 2
-- plank with alternating arm/leg raises x 10
-- toe touches x 20

- stretch

That's definitely how I would progress it.

legs a bit tired (makes sense) but felt okay. the intercostal thing is still there a little bit, but barely. weirdly it bothers me more on the treadmill than the road, and not at all with lifts or really any other movement.

- stretch

yeah. in retrospect, no idea why i was trying it the other way.

bit of low back tightness meant i took this very carefully. also on the second set i could probably have finished it out but some dipshit started moving weights around on the rack while i was in the middle of the set and i lost focus and reracked at least a rep early. whatever.

- pull up x 6,6,6
wheeee progress

- bench 70 x 5,5,5
not all legal reps, butt was coming off the bench here and there.

- core

- stretch

there was literally no floor space available in the gym to do either of these things. so crowded in there, it's crazy.

Do you go to a chain gym (puregym/gym group etc?). Mines always rammed full at the moment too, super annoying. Hopefully it gets better once days get longer and the weather a bit nicer

university gym. i hope it clears out a bit as the year goes on but there's a strong contingent of apparently committed powerlifting/oly lifting types who are likely to keep the platforms and racks busy. only reason i'm sticking with it is because it's super convenient (on campus, such as it is) and very cheap. once i'm not a student anymore, i'm out.

had a weird experience today. as i was walking to the gym my body was just...resisting. like it didn't even want to go in the building, let alone put on shorts and sneakers and work out. i tried to talk myself into going anyway -- i was walking toward and away from the door, i must have looked like a crazy person to anyone who happened to notice me -- but eventually decided to bail. the last time i pushed through despite feeling weird i ended up with the flu (very different feeling then, and correlation does not equal causation, but still).

the shift to lifting has not been smooth.

It's probably just getting back into the routine but there's nothing wrong with listening to your body, particularly if you sense that your immune system is susceptible.

- warm up run x 2 km

- mobilizations

- pull up x 6,2
