Hey, good to see your log here, Siren!

I wasn't suggesting a log where you post everyday, i think that's tedious, i just thought you could share your experiences with your program with us. Post the program and the results, what you changed in the program, diet, and so on.

It's great to read other logs for motivation and inspiration!

Keep up the good work!

Love and peace,
Daywalker

I was doing just fine, but have come down something that's been going around, about 4 days now. Seems to be a two week bug (according to others). Won't keep me from working, I just pardon my self on occasion to go throw up and then I am fine. More of a nusciance than anything else.

Anyway, because I am a bit weak, I have reduced all the weights I am working with, and if I am really bad that day reduce the amount of reps. Hopfully I can come out of this maintaining all I have worked for.

I know what you mean. I hate that feeling when you can't workout because of sickness. Good thing you're taking it easy, I hope you feel better soon!

Well I finally seem to be over the virus that was going around and now have managed to sustain a back injury.

Not sure what is wrong, I know it isn't muscular. The calcification from an over zealous anesthesiologist who missed my spine several years ago is inflamed; maybe I have compressed something, not sure. Stretching seems to help, bending and lifting inflames it more. I'm going to keep lifting, but light and hope it takes care of itself.
