Mid-November 2019 Check-In
Hopefully everyone is doing well. Lots of people have had colds and other things going on. I had a cold.
I've been working at staying at it. Still doing the 100 push-ups a day, and extra for missed days. I had a cold and it slowed me down. I skipped a couple of days of cardio, and went to lift even if I was feeling bad. Figured it is possible that I may not be 100% on the day of the meet and it will be good to be able to lift while feeling crappy.
I've kept things simple. I warm up on the bike for 5 or more minutes every day that I lift. I don't write that below. Here's the last two weeks:
Monday, ran 3 miles on the treadmill, 100 push-ups and stretching.
Tuesday
Squat 135x5, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5, 230x5
Leg Curls 55lbs for 5 sets of 12

Extra stretching
On the deadlifts I'm going up to 205lbs with an overhand grip then alternating grip higher than that. From December 10 until April I'll keep trying to get in more grip and back work. I'll probably continue to work on the extra stretching again.
Saturday and today I pushed hard. I'll probably push hard next week and still work on good form.
KEEP GRINDING!!!

Well done Enrique! Pushing through while sick is not easy, or fun. Hope you get back to 100% soon. I'm impressed by all you do, but the running especially. 3 miles, crazy!
After the body not reacting well to increase amounts of animal protein, I'm attempting to build muscle on more of a plant based diet. I don't think I could go vegetarian or vegan, not now at least, but this feels like the right thing to do right now. The body feels as though it's in muscle building mode. I'm in my second week now, we'll see what happens.
Best of luck in preparing for the meet!
