Back To The Gym After 6 Day Break
That summer headcold was really frustrating. I carried on with most of my daily activities but with little energy and having to stop frequently to sneeze and deal with my runny nose. I am about 90% back to normal today and feel well enough to get back to the gym tonight. It was hard to stay away but I know it was for the best. It’s been my first break longer than 3 days in almost a year. All muscles are recovered and rested, I may ease back into it though by using moderate weights. I’ll see how I feel when the time comes. I’ll finish this post after the workout….
…Decided to do an upper body workout to get back into the swing of things. I did 3 exercises x 3 sets for each of chest, shoulders, back, triceps and biceps - 45 sets in all. I kept the weight moderate and did mostly 12 rep sets. My cough bothered me a little but that’s small potatoes. A great ‘home-coming’ workout! Next time I’ll get back to my 12 week program with lower body including heavy deadlifts.

Hope the gunk clears out Tony. I’ve had the remnants of a headcold for almost 2 wks. Feel OK, just plenty of congestion. I’ll bet you have some killer w/o’s coming up with all the rest.
