I'm feeling a tiny bit better today. Still pretty sick, but not dying, so I'm going to try to make up yesterday's workout. It probably won't be spectactular though.
Deadlifts 170 lbs x14, x13, x12 Improvement while sick. Nice. Might be cuz its my cheat day and I had a pretty big omelette for breakfast with a lemon-poppy seed muffin. ;P
Shrugs 170 lbs x18, x15 Strengths seem unaffected by this cold, but my endurance is crap. I can barely breathe. Not really unexpected, since its all upper respiratory crud.
Pull ups x10 (+6 Assisted), x6 (+6 assisted)
One Arm Dumbell Rows 40 lbs x15 each side, x13 each side, x12 each Forearms are still holding me back, but less than last week. They'll catch up.
Nice back workout, especially for being sick. I'll be back in a few to do biceps.

Chin ups x10 (+6 assisted), x6 (+5 Assisted)
ez curls 45 lbs x14, -Sickness fatigue is really setting in. sigh.
@ 40 lbs x11, x9 This more what I expected today. I guess I can't complain; I'm sure it will go better when I'm not sick
DB curls 30 lbs (2x 15) x16, x14, x13 Considering how the barrbell curls went, I decided to use lower weight.
Hammer curls 30 lbs x14, x14
I was disappointed at first, but it was only because back went way better than expected and raised my expectations for biceps. On reflection, this was pretty good workout considering how sick I am.

Sounds like you're on the mend! Good for you for working through it, though. I'm doing the same, and hoping for the best. Smiles 
Thanks for the props Gettinthere. I'm still a little sick, so I expect some weakness, but I'll just push through.
Pushups x41 (+3 on knees)
BB Bench Press 100 lbs x14,
@90 x12
@80 lbs x11, x10 Slightly better than that travesty last week, but still not great.
Incline bench 80 lbs x13, x9 That averaged out to the same as before I was sick, so no complaints.
DB Flies80 lbs (2x 40) x13
@70 (2x 35) x11
Incline DB Flies 70 lbs x12, x10 No loss from two weeks ago is a bonus with how I feel.
Close Grip BB Bench 80 lbs x14, x12
@ 75 lbs x10 In the grand scheme that was actually a little better than two weeks ago.
Skull Crushers 25 lbs x13,
@ 20 lbs x13, x10 Same. Good
Bench Dips 25 lb plate x21, x17
Pretty well back where I was before I got sick. Sounds like I'm over the worst of it; I just need to cough and hack out the dregs.

I hurt my back this weekend. It's a weird pain. I don't know if it'll affect this workout or not. I'll find out in a minute.
Squats 130 lbs, x13, x8 Almost fell on that one. I'm taking the weight down for the last set.
@100 lbs x11 dunno if its this upper respiratory infection or just going light last week, but that about killed me. ;P
Stiff Legged Dead Lifts 165 lbs x15, x14, x13 Same as before, except my heart is nearly beating out of my chest and I'm fighting back vomit. Must be sicker than I thought.
Standing Calf Raises 165 lbs x15, x12, x12 Using a steeper step for better range of motion. It makes a huge difference.
I'll be back for shoulders. I don't know how that will go, I'm beat.

Shoulder time. Legs left me with a hell of a headache, but I don't think it will hold me back.
DB Military Press 70 lbs (2x 35) x15, x14, x11, x10 Nice!
Lateral DB Raises 40 lbs (2x 20 lbs) x15, x14, x14 Awesome.
Reverse Flies 50 lbs (2x 25) x15, x14, x14
That was really good. I don't know why I felt so bad during legs, but fine for shoulders. Oh well.

Time for back. I'm still having that weird lower back pain, but it didn't affect my stiff-legged deadlifts, so I doubt it will slow me down today.
Deadlifts 170 lbs x14, x14, x13 More improvement, though it leaves me positively breathless! Time for more weight next week
Shrugs 170 lbs x18, x15 Same
Pull ups x10 (+6 Assisted), x6 (+6 assisted) Same
One Arm Dumbell Rows 40 lbs x15 each side, x13 each side, x13 Only one rep better overall, but I feel like my forearms are holding me back less and less, so its a win.
Not bad. I'll be back for biceps later. I hope they go as well.

Back for some biceps action, yo!
Chin ups x11 (+5 assisted), x7 (+4 Assisted) Nice!
ez curls 45 lbs x15, x13, x13 Much better than last week.
DB curls 40 lbs (2x 20) x14, x12, x11
Hammer curls 30 lbs (2x 15) x16, x14 Gonna have to bite the bullet and move up the weight on these.
That went quite well. Fridays make it feel all worth while. As my legs and chest suffer, my back and bis nearly always improve.

I've lost 10 lbs since my last picture update, so I thought I'd post another. No comparisons this time, you can click back a few pages if you need to see the befores. It's coming along nicely. Just a little more belly to kill and there is a distinct taper to my waist.

Thats awesome Doc............... you're making huge changes. Lookin' great! GFY!
Thanks! I'm working hard. I can't wait to finish off this gut, so I can work on some bulking. I was 174 when I joined the army at 22 years old and I didn't have any belly then, so I believe I'm close. Damn belly fat is stubborn as hell though. ;D

He has been a big help to me too! All the support and encouragement is greatly appreciated. I'd throw rep points at him too, if I could!
Time for chest and tris. I really hope this goes well. It's been a bit of a disappointment for a while now.
Pushups x41 (+3 on knees)
BB Bench Press 100 lbs x14, x9
@85 lbs x11, x 9 Well I tried a little more weight, it didn't go great, but not terrible.
Incline bench 80 lbs x12, x10 That averaged out to the same again.
DB Flies80 lbs (2x 40) x14, x12 That went very well
Incline DB Flies 70 lbs (2x 35) x12, x11 One more rep!
Close Grip BB Bench 80 lbs x14, x8 Shitty. My strength just gave out. Much worse than last week.
@ 70 lbs x10 So bad. I hate when it goes like this.
Skull Crushers 25 lbs x14, x10
@ 20 lbs x11 That actually went a little better than last week, though it doesn't make up for those abysmal close-grip benches.
Bench Dips 25 lb plate x23, x18 These at least always go well.
Well another somewhat disappointing chest and triceps workout. Man I can't wait until I can start eating to gain muscle!

Thanks, for that man. As for you KoS, modesty is unbecoming.
You gave me some damn good advice earlier and I appreciate it.leg time. No spotter today, so I'll be doing dumbbell squats. Probably for the best, since my right lower lumbar is still hurting me.
DB Squats 100 lbs, x15, x11
@ 90 lbs x12
Stiff Legged Dead Lifts 170 lbs x15, x14, x13 More weight, same numbers. Nice.
Standing Calf Raises 150 lbs x17, x13, x12
Not bad. I can't figure out why my back hurts most of the time and badly if I brush something hard against it (like my knuckles when tucking in my shirt), but stiff-legged deads don't aggravate it at all. Weird.

Reverse Flies 50 lbs (2x 25) x15, x15, x14
Not bad. A good night overall.
