The left hip joint issues I started having last year seemed to be flaring up again, albeit at less intensity and currently does not appear to be impacting squats at the moment but I am paying close attention to my form and how they affect my hip.

Updates:

On 3/18/20, I started to get sick with what presumably is COVID-19. It started relatively mild, with a low fever for a few days with some upper respiratory symptoms like congestion. After a few days, I seemed to feel better over the weekend, although I started to notice some itching in the center of my chest (like in my trachea and bronchial tube area). Also noticed some loss of taste and to a lesser extent, smell, although I dismissed it at the time. The trachea itching and and upper repository symptoms seemed to lessen a few days later. However, on the following Monday (3/23/20) I started to get a fever again which lasted for about 4-5 days, along with loss of appetite, fatigue, chills, etc. Resting heartbeat was elevated by like 20-40 bpm. Had a dry (albeit infrequent)cough. Also felt like my breathing was somewhat restricted although it was mild and not too serious. This week was somewhat of an anxious week as I've read up on all the COVID-19 horror stories of people getting mild symptoms and then suddenly escalating into severe symptoms (and then hospitalizing and then maybe death) but fortunately overall it was mild and never got worse. On the following Saturday (3/28/20) my fever ended and my energy levels seemed to be back to normal. Elevated heart rate seemed to come back to normal as well. By this time, however, my chest/trachea felt really raw and breathing seemed to irritate it a lot. Could not take a full deep breath (or a yawn) without coughing. This took another week or two to lessen. Breathing seems to be normal for the most part now.

I'm in NJ and my gym has been closed since 3/16/20 and I have no idea when it will open up again (maybe June/July? Who knows). I initially was going to try some bodyweight training but then decided to build a home gym. I ended up getting a squat stand (with some attachments), barbell, flat bench, and some plates from Rogue. Everything was pretty much out of stock everywhere else and getting stuff from Rogue involved signing up for stock notifications and ordering stuff as fast as I could once those notifications arrived (some stuff literally sold out within 5-10 minutes of notification). I ended up ordering a lot of stuff piecemeal instead of in bulk and ended up paying a fukload more than I wanted in shipping but at this point I don't GAF.

Cliffs:
- Probably got COVID-19, didn't die
- Sick of not being able to lift so built home gym
- Thanks

Not sure if I will be able to do them inside once the weight starts getting heavy, along with deadlifts. Need to look into putting together a mini-platform with some plywood and maybe with some kind of crash pad system as well.
