So the pneumonia has past and the sinus difficulty that may or may not be polyps/deviated septum has improved dramatically... so back to lifting heavy!
What will my program be? Not sure yet, but I've been messing around with 2-board pressing and trap bar deadlifts this last 10 days or so. I hadn't done either in well over a year, so I figured it would be a nice change.
I was working in the 240 range for triples on the 2B, and in the 440 range for singles on the trap bar. I feel that that's ok, coming off a serious respiratory problem.
Chins as usual for me were a breeze a couple days ago... 8x3 at +50. Lat soreness but no problem.
I'll give it some more thought, but these will likely be my focus:
2board presses
trap bar deads
single-leg box squats
chins
I also did a few sets of standing ab rollouts... not the smrtest as I was sore for about 5 days. I'd like to include some more, but I should scale back to regular rollouts until I get back up to speed.
Eating? Hell, same as always: 180g protein, shitloads of nuts and fruit. Make sure I get my fish oil, green vegetables and olive oil in there too.
Come May I might go for a little weight gain (I'm 5'10", 175 lbs now), but I always seem to lose interest in 'bulking' pretty fast.
Main goals? This year I want to hit a 500 deadlift and if the shoulders hold up, a 300 bench.
*p.s. Matt (PMDL): feel free to comment in here if you want. I'll try to only delete about half of what you write.
