The 6 weeks of doing no other pulls other than beltless Romanian Deadlifts has played a large part in this I feel Cool

Wednesday 27th January 2016 - Classic Squats and Component Deads @ Middlewood

It had to happen, I've finally caught the black death that has been doing the rounds at school / home / work since early November!
I managed to avoid it thus far even though both Mrs Macca and Mini Mac have both been sick (along with half my office) before Christmas, but one of the Guy's in my office came in coughing and spluttering on Monday and has infected me Unhappy

I started with a chesty cough this afternoon and my temperature has been a couple of degree's warmer than normal.
I'm training as it's likely to be the last in this week I'm able (Patient Zero at work has been on his back with a fever for the last 2 days....)

Update - I got ill Grin

I had a fever for 4 days (4 bloody days mind) accompanied by a particularly nasty chest infection.

I ended up having just over a week off training and have dropped a bit of weight Unhappy

The four day fever must have been like being on DNP Grin
I had next to no appetite though so I definitely lost some gainz.

I'm still coughing s**te up off my chest, but I'm just about recovered now.

Time to rebuild!

Ok - the last session did hit me a bit harder than I would have liked and I was pretty wasted yesterday (falling asleep on the sofa at 18:30 wasted) so I'm not too sure what to expect from tonight....

I have recently become addicted to pork scratchings to the point where it is affecting my life. For example I was out somewhere this morning and got an urge so I had to rush home to my pork scratching stash. Iv had 3 packets today

Edit: make that 4 packets

I expect you to start becoming progressively more awesome with each packet consumed
