Steve? Have you ever in your life and pneumonia? Even a mild case? If so, you'll probably have trouble every winter. Hang in there!

I had pnemonia during the 7th grade. Thats was 26 years ago. However I have been getting bronchitis once a year (in January) for the last 5-6 years.

Sorry I haven't posted lately, but there has been nothing to post. I did see the doc today. I need to take some inhaler medication to help clear this thing up. She also wants a chest x-ray as well as a pulminary test (since I get the bronchitis so often. Anyway she also wants me to stay away from lifting for another week. This seriously hurts my run up to george's meet. SO it looks like I will have only 7 weeks to prepare. The first week will be speed stuff only to get my conditioning back. Hopefully I can put a good 6 week power cycle to gether and still hits some decent numbers!

Steve! Some killer wo's Bro! NICE LIFTS! Sorry to hear about being sick. I used to get bronchitis in the Fall, as soon as the weather starting getting damp, and it stayed with me until Jan or Feb. I worked in the Steel Mills out of high school, and was exposed to a lot of acid in the air. I worked a metal sheer in a place called the "pickle mill". Suffice it to say, I got a lung infection and it followed me for YEARS!
It wasn't until I started bodybuilding that I seemd to kick it. I take glutamine 2x a day. I make my own ginger tea from fresh ginger roots that knock it right out of me! I also take in some echinachea when it flares up too.
You have lots of time until your meet Bro. Take it slow and rest when your body tells you to.
YOU CAN DO IT!!! ;D

You know the layoff must have done my body some good. My joints feel great!
This should be my heavy day but since its my first week back in the gym, I decided to do a speed day to ease back into it.
Bench (with green bands, each band provides 75 extra pounds at the top).
1x3x120 (270 at the top) 2x3x170 (350 at the top) 2x3x220 (370 at the top) 3x3x270 (420 at the top)
I really like the bands. I was talking to my buddy toolpod and the way I have to run the bands under dumbells to get the proper length, made him comment that I was a candidate for the darwin awards. Well I am still alive and I got a hell of a pump.
high rep bench set 1x24x220
lying tricep dumbell extensions 3x5x50
Hammer curls 3x10x50
done. Upper body extremely pumped and feeling good.
