This was a shitty day. I still felt tired and got super winded doing the lifts.

Not bad so far. 160 was very heavy. Went for 165 and failed. Came back tonight and did:

Back Squat 160/3 165/2, 165 x fail

Stretch hamstrings, groin

This is an improvement over the last few squat sessions because I could lift 160/3 for several sets at least. Today is the best I've felt since I got back. I can finally strain hard and not feel like shit. I don't think the disease is hampering my training anymore, but I still lost a depressingly large amount of strength (I mean, I did 170 x 5...). Today was good because I didn't have a day of rest before, which may have made some different even though I don't think it was alot (I felt pretty damn good today). Saturday I go heavy on Snatch and kinda heavy on clean and jerk. I'm hoping I hit 105 (praying..) on snatch and my clean and jerks feel good. I'm still undecided on whether or not I want to finish out the program as it is or repeat at least 3 weeks of the preparatory phase to get some strength back. I can feel it coming back now I just don't know if it will return and improve significantly more if I redo the prep phase. I guess I'll be able to answer better on Saturday.
