SICK N STILL PUMPIN’

shawngie

Yesterday I was sick as hell … I’ve been feeling like crap since thursday evening and I didn’t know if I should go to the doctor or if this was just a little summer cold … When I woke up on friday morning I knew I had something much more than just a little cold … My throat was so sore and dry that I had to call in to work and I slept most of the day … I felt better when I awoke friday afternoon, but I still had a groggy feel … Friday night I loaded up on nightquil, alkaselaza cold plus, and theraflue … Saturday morning I felt pretty good, but I still had congestion in my chest and my nose was still running …

I’m not the kind of person to go to the doctor when I get sick unless I am extremely sick to the point where I can’t function whatsoever … Since I was able to walk around and eat a little, I classified myself as sick, but still pump ready, ya dig … So, I went to the gym to do legs … Friday is my usual legs day and I hate when I miss legs because I feel like I’m discounting my growth … I just recently started doing legs and I’m a firm believer in proportion when it comes to bodybuilding and I don’t want nothing lacking in comparison to something else … For instance, the dudes with the huge upper body, but chicken legs; definitely not cool in my book, so I must hit legs …

Suprisingly, I crushed legs hardcore … I started with the leg press (which is my favorite) and pushed up 1,080lbs four times after working my way up, already completing five sets of 8-10 reps of heavy weight … Then I did some boxing crunches with a 20lbs dumbell in between my feet, five sets of twelve … Very crusial when you’re sick ’cause your energy level isn’t where it’s normally at … Thanks to my wife for motivating through those sets (you’re f***ing awesome, BABY!)

Then my wife and I advanced to the smithmachine squat rack … I always do 5 sets of 20 with 315lbs, which is murder, but when you’re sick its even more gruesome … Snot was coming out of my nose and I was hacking up huge lugies after each set … Talking ’bout taking the life outta you, brother this was it … We finished squats and went to the hammerstrength individual leg curl machine and pumped those out … Completed calf raises, leg extensions, and more abs then went over to the stairmasters for cardio … My wife and I walked a countless amount of flights in 20 minutes on the stairmaster and I was exhausted … We both went and layed in the jacuzzi to get some relief from our trecherous workout … I started feeling a little better after the jacuzzi and I was able to breathe through my nose again … I showered and sat in the sauna and poured the entire bucket of water in the coal and got the most amazing heat rush possible … I breathed in deeply through my nose and exhaled from my mouth trying to meditate to beat this sickness …

Saturday night I followed suit with the cold medicines and sunday when I woke up I still felt worst then I did saturday night … Unf***ing believelable!!! I chilled with my wife and son all that day and watched movies and tru tv, which used to be court tv … (I love forensic files)

Yesterday was chest and I worked yesterday … I felt like crap all day and I didn’t get any sleep whatsoever sunday night … I didn’t put out that hard on the barbell bench, but I destroyed the dumbells … The pec dec known as the seated fly press, I took the weight to the basement (used all the weight) and pumped 12 reps for 3 sets … Finished out with weighted dips and went home and and did shoulders and the perfect pushup …

I don’t care if I’m sick, I will still pump … My wife knows I want my death bed to be a bench … When I’m in my casket I’ll be laying on a bench with dumbells in my hands … I was to put on earth to pump forever … PUMPIRONALL DAY

    Hope you’re feeling better and so glad to hear you’re not aiming for "head rooster" (chicken leg syndrome)…. I soooo hate that.

    What does this comment mean? Is being a dog good or bad?
