I thought I was last week from an ill colleague opposite me with manflu but managed to duck it by taking a day off, dosing up on paracetamol, and telling him in no uncertain terms what would happen if he coughed in my general direction... and it seemed to work.
I'm aiming to get my 1.5x bodyweight deadlift (91kg) by end of January. It's not going to happen this year. Last thing I need now is an injury to add to my xmas woe. Did 3 sets of 5 reps at 80kg last night, probably my last deadlifts this year. Didn't slip any of them this time, doing a more progressive buildup helped (40, 50, 65, 80)
