Something is better than nothing

So now Mrs and Mini are better and I have the sinus cold Felt like crap so did what I could and got out.

Speed pulls
Warmed up to 150kgs x 1 raw
Then Metal deadlift suit and belt on for:
6 sets of 3 with 150kgs

Was meant to be 8 sets but my head was killing me from sinus and suit pressure combined.

Snatch Grip Block Pulls
95kgs for 3 sets of 12

Skipped squats as my head was killing me

Lat pulldowns
60kgs for 3 sets of 10

Tried back raises, was meant to do 50, managed 20, made my head worse so I quit and came home.

Positives from the session:

- I did it
- The speed pulls were the fastest I've ever pulled that weight. My suit is the nuts even if it does make my head explode with this cold.

Negatives:

- I am sicker than I thought and need rest.
- No benching for me until Friday but I may have a work function I need to attend so I may end up doubling squats and bench at the weekend. Will see how I get on.

Great work Al! Glad I'm not over there to get the plague ! Rest up, get better, SMASH!!!

[Squatter]

Your a warrior for just walking in the door and suiting up Al!

Glad to see there were at leans some positives with those pulls!

Man, you guys have had more than your fair share of sickness. Seems to be a viscious circle of illness over there. IO wish I could pack up some of my immune system and send it over.

[LtL]

Thanks guys. Off to bed now. Hoping to be able to breathe out of my nose by morning.

Oh and deadlift suit + sinus cold = burst blood vessels in face.

[Hazzard]

Awesome work tonight man despite the illness, although there was definitely something wrong with your face. I'm glad we didn't bro-hug, I really don't want to catch what you have.

Strong work LtL ... what matters is that you trained despite not being 100% fit ... keep going brother ...

Nice going considering the less than satisfactory circumstances….

That would lock up my sinuses good.

Keep cubing it up.

[LtL]

So the sinus headache had become full blown manflu by Wednesday and took me out completely. I currently sound horrendous thanks to a lovely cough but actually don't feel too bad. May even make it back in the gym this weekend...

[Hunterace]

Hope you feel better soon Al!

[LtL]

I feel better just not lifting fit yet

This morning I thought I would have to wait until next week to get back under the bar, now I think I might make my squat session on Sunday.
