Day 5:

Morning/Afternoon:

Didn't sleep properly until 430 AM, and had to get up at 10. Throat was very sore. Went to see the doctors and the chemists and i've got enough anti-flu stuff to kill a small horse.

They also advised me to take time off training. Today I will definitely have a day off but no chance i'm gonna miss training due to something little like flu symptoms, so will be training tomorrow.

DOMS from triceps still apparent! Surprising.

Lower back DOMS hasn't set in yet from the back day yesterday.

Evening:

OK, so i decided last minute to go to the gym at 815. Probably a stupid thing to do whilst ill, but i really hate missing it and would rather suffer for longer as long as i can get my sessions in.

I took the stack at 630 thinking that I wasn't going to train, so didn't really get the thermogenic/caffein perking up at the right time for training. Still, ate a protein bar on the way there, and took 4 bcaas and i was set.

Workout wasn't as intense as normal and I was a little weak.

Training was as follows:

Flat Bench Press (barbell):
60kg for 15 quick reps
100kg for 10
120kg for 5,4 (spotted on final 2)
115kg for 4

Incline flies (dumbell):
(all sets super super slow, similar to TUT training (time under tension)
15 kg dumbells for 10
20kg for 10,8

Decline Press (dumbell):
40kg dumbells for 10,8,8

Ended there - a little less volume that what i'd normally do, but still good maintenance amount.

Looking forward to what I think will be a good nights sleep, tomorrow is either a total off day or cardio/abs.
