Monday I started my regular routine and it went ok. I lost a little strength on my bench, but I’ll get that back pretty quick.

 So here’s how it went.

Bench press worm up 120lbsx10 190lbsx3 170lbsx5 160lbsx5.

Front shoulder raises 2 sets of 10. Side lateral raises 4 sets of 10 all with 10lbs dumbells.

Shulder shrugs with dumbells. 20lbsx10 25lbsx10 30lbsx10 35lbsx10.

Dumbell flys. 20lbsx12 25lbsx12 30lbsx12 35lbsx12.

Pullups 5 sets of 5 with 20 added pounds, then one set of 10 with just body weight.

100 calve raises.

150 situps and crunches.

Well, thursday and friday whent really well. I didn’t strain myself or do anything too intence, just an easy full body workout to get my initial strength going again. I still have to gain back five lbs that I lost from being sick, so I’ll rest saturday and sunday, then start my full routine back up on monday. I’m in a state of high motivation right now to get back to where I was, so hang on for the ride.;)

Well, I’m not sick with malaria any more and my boil is all dried up, so I decided to start my routine back up today. It’s been almost two weeks, so I will probably do a light full body workout. I’ll post pics up sometime next week. Wish me luck.

It’s been a week since I got sick with malaria. I’m all better now and I have gained beck the 5lbs that I lost. Unfortunatly when you get malaria your system can’t fight other sicknesses very well, so I now have a boil in my right eye. I’ve had one in my left eye before and I took some antibiotice, wich I am taking now fo rthis one, so hopefully it will heal soon. I havn’t got much sleep for the past week, r obviously no training and working out, wich ticks me off to no end. I can’t wait to start my training up again, unfortunatly it probably won’t be until next monday.

I spent all day sunday being sick with malaria for the third time in in three years. I took sme chinise herbal medicine called ardasunate, so today I’m feeling much better, but very weak. I hope to be getting back on track with my working out in a few days. I lst a few pounds and a whole inch off my waist from not eating while I was sick (for faster recuperation we don’t eat when we get malaria). Other than that things are going quite well and I hope to put up some new progress pictures in about a week.

On monday I did 190lbs with the 5×5 routine for the first time, at 145lbs I’m pretty excited with the way my bench is going up, 5×5 routine is definatly the way to go. I hope to raise my bench to 250-260 lbs within the next 5 months. After that I did shoulder and trap work, then went on a 7 mile run. My foot is already feeling better.

I’ve been drinking quite a bit of ginger root lately, it definatly improves stamina, enduranc, and strength.
