I was sick all week, it started Friday night and I had it while I did the mock meet. Had some kind of stomach virus, I barely ate for 4 days and other things were going on, you don't need the details only that I was dehydrated.

Thursday was my first workout back, I did deads at the U. Worked up to a set of 5 with 365 then did deficits and 45 degree hypers (still felt weak).

Today I felt much better and did benchapalooza on the G Diesel bench program

Bench:

300 x 1
300 x 1
300 x 1

Close grip bench:

5 sets x 5 reps

Lever edge dip machine:

4 sets x 8 reps with the last being a drop set

Sounds like a blast

**_Aggression_** · 06-29-2015, 12:48 PM

I had something similar a few weeks ago. It was like a small, constant stomach ache that was barely noticeable all day and then it would flare up. No appetite and when I would eventually eat, a regular meal would have me feeling like someone blew air into my stomach. Lasted about a week and then it just passed.

**naturalguy** · 06-29-2015, 02:14 PM

G Diesel once told me "Some days you eat the bear and other days the bear eats you". That day was yesterday. Squats felt like total dog ****, everything felt heavy.

Squats:

Worked up to top set of 405, was supposed to get 5 reps but struggled to get 2. I also threw in knee wraps for the first time in a very long time and to be honest I hated it. They are a pain in the ass and just complicate your lift. Yes I know I can squat more weight with them. Maybe it's just that I haven't used them in 6 months and have to get used to them but I am going to have to decide if I want to use them regularly.

Safety bar squats:

5 sets x 5 reps

Shrugs:

4 x 8-10 reps

I was not happy about this workout but it is what it is and I must push forward, it's yesterday's news.

**naturalguy** · 07-06-2015, 07:40 AM

My stomach was still jacked up all week, I barely ate any solid foods so I didn't train until Friday.

Friday - benchapalooza at Powerhouse Gym Staten Island

Bench:

255 x 3 sets x 3 reps

Hammer strength dip machine:

4 x 8-12 reps

Cable tricep extensions:

4 x 8-12 reps

Sunday Squats at Skiba's (I was finally able to eat normal food over the weekend)

Squats:

worked up to a top set of 375 x 3 reps

High bar olympic style pause squats:

3 sets x 5 reps

Shrugs:

3 sets x 10 reps

Abs

prowler flu. Wait, you actually have to use the prowler to get the prowler flu. Maybe he just got sick from seeing it.
