Do You Work Out While Sick?

Don't Let Sickness Derail Your Progress is a pretty cool article about when to train through sickness, when not, and everything in between.  Everyone around me (including me) seems to have some level of sickness right now, so this article is quite timely!

What I did today...

Warm Up:

- 500m Row

- Band Pull Aparts and Shoulder Dislocates

- Two games of Ping Pong (aka The Ultimate Warm Up, seriously)

- Barbell Thrusters:  45x6, 135x4, 225x2

Strength Work:

Front Squats (3 reps at 70% and 80%, then max reps at 90% of 340):

- 238x3

- 272x3

- 306x4

Shoulder Press (3 reps at 70% and 80%, then max reps at 90% of 220):

- 154x3

- 176x3

- 198x4

1-Arm Kettlebell Press (30 reps in as few sets as possible):

- 62 lbs KB x 11, 10, 9- Finally got it in 3 sets, which means next week I can move up to the 70 lbs KB!

Conditioning:

1:00, :45, :30, and :15 rounds each of the following: 
- Pull Ups 
- Sit Ups 
- Push Ups 
- Squats 
Score: 282 reps.

Between a combination of lingering chest congestion and fatigue from my strength work, my SWAT Circuit score has been going down over the last few weeks.  I test on this in two weeks, so hopefully I can continue to recover from sickness!
