Or flu.

I’m guessing he would be bed bound and really unwell if he had the flu. Could just be a common cold-like viral infection or something. Working out 3 days in a row as well as a (I’m guessing) fairly physically demanding job can have toll on immune system and made him more susceptible to germs flying around at this time of the year. 

Too much too soon, dude.

3x a week, Monday-Wednesday-Friday kinda routine for strength training is all you need.

Yeah I mean, I do on avg 7 miles a day walking in here, so maybe my body just needs a wee rest. Was following advice of day 1 lower half, day 2 upper half, day 3 cycle and row, day 4 rest. Its the work gym I go to and my rota and days off can be different every week so it's hard to lock things in for certain.

Oh well, I'm breaking my no fizzy juice rule for some lucozade, drinking gallons of water and taking ibuprofen, should be fine by Monday to get back after it. I've been taken off patient movement and doing pharmacy deliveries so it ain't that bad, I'll survive.

Cheers chaps.

Vitamin C. And take it easy. Remember, your body needs recovery time / days. As has been said, 3 times a week for strength training is enough (unless you're going for competitions).

People that don’t use the spray when they’ve finished on a machine. Eurgh.

10Kg total. Pretty light for doing bent-rows, that.

Also any recommendations for dumbbells, curl bar stuff. Don't want to spend a fortune.

They're to stabilise his secondary chain or whatever its called to stop him hurting his joints because they weren't strong enough to maintain a stability during exercise innit.

Also I actually just lift 10kg for my normal exercises so come at my low testosterone noodle armed candy ass etc.

10kg seems about right for physio-rehab work. I just used bands when I did my AC joint in.

17.5kg seems heavy for work set on physio work let alone warm ups! Unless of course you’re massive, dude.

Not really massive for bent-rows. I use 32.5Kgs for my top set.

Bands cables and light dumbbells for rehab is aok. Fast concentric, slow eccentric (like a 5 count).

People wear their shorts over them innit.

Lol yeah I’m wearing shorts. It was also getting them on that was a bit weird/awkward. Suppose there’s a method to lining up the seams etc cos there are some rubbery and stretchy bits that go over the muscle groups or something.

I only wear leggings, no shorts. Wanna see those beautiful legs I work hard for and yes, that glorious wiener of mine. Though when I lived in England I was asked not to come into Sainsbury’s wearing only my leggings.
