now my run times are crap and the strength is hurting...BUT I'm doing pretty good about consistant gains so it's all good.
I don't know about anyone else but I typically try to up the weight about every 3rd week or so...most barbell lifts I don't really notice an extra 5lbs (total) but that adds about 20lbs a year...not too shabby for a skinny white boy! [/qb]

Sounds like a nasty infection! No doubt a long stomach infection like that can take a lot out of you.
Most exercises I cannot make gains like that anymore. I have been gaining in BB Rows while doing BOM, but I really didn't do them that much prior to this program. I always did single-arm DB rows. I don't know whether this is true for most people, but I can single arm row substantially more than 50% of what I can BB row, whereas the opposite is true for DB Bench presses. I can DB bench (per arm) substantially less than 50% of what I can BB bench press.
