well done mike. for a second there i thought you were using a weighted barbell with your curls. I've been known to do that from time to time. I figure that when i'm curling 50-52.5kg for a few solid reps, it's ok to stand in the power rack to do it. If you do it curling 20-25kg you may get some mean looks!!!

How's it going, Mike?

Hi Katie,

Good pickup. Not so good...

Layed low with a nasty tummy bug. Haven't trained since last Thursday and now feel like absolute crap. Diet is gone, strength is gone. All I can think about is curling up in a ball and waiting for the cramps too pass.

Feeling better today though and the Doc says I should be right to go back to work tomorrow.

Anyone got any ideas on how quickly I should hit the weights again? Should I ease back into it after a few days back on a decent diet. I've been living on water and toast for two days now. Not good at all...

At least I'm well enough today to get out of bed and check AusBB from home.

Just worried all the hard work will be lost.

Cheers,
Mike

Ah gee, that's not good. I would advise easing back into it, you don't want to resume your usual routine of heavy lifting only to exhaust yourself. Particularly when you've only been having water and toast!

Definitely a vote for the slow and steady approach for me

Get better soon!

I agree with Katie. Ease back into it. Slowly get back your normal weight over the course of a week or so taking it as it comes. I think its better to get back to it slowly than try to overdo it and put yourself out for longer.

Get well soon

Hello Mike,

As Katie have said, get back into it slowly. Please do have a look over here if and when you have some time: http://ausbb.com/recipes/10408-high-...html#post91830

Begin with 15ml for a week and eventually increase to the desirable 45 or 60mls.

Fadi.

Been a few weeks. Hopefully your back into it Mike and are rid of that nasty stomach bug. Hope to see some weight posts again soon

Hi Guys,

Just checking back in and, no, I haven't worked out since that tummy bug. I've been on holidays for three weeks travelling through Thailand and Malaysia. Just flew back this morning into Brisbane and had minor surgery an hour ago to have a BCC removed from my nose. Plastic Surgeon carved a scallop of skin off and stitched it back up. Not pleasant. Tears running down my face as I type this as the local hasn't worn off yet. Will go get the dogs from my MIL's house over Easter and hopefully get back to the gym next week. I don't normally take this long off, but there wasn't any gyms near Kata beach in Phuket...

I'll kick back into gear soon and make amends for all those Chang beers and Gang Kiew Wan Gai curries I threw back while in Phuket. Time to pay the fare for all that fun.

Cheers,
Mike
