Good session. Though I puked, loads, in my garden, after my drive home. Maybe I'm ill.... On the positive side, I'm leaning out still.
you're a f
king worry, DD 
Thankfully too early for the neighbours to be up to witness me projectile vomit as soon as I'm out of the car, then run into my garden to expel the rest.....
I’ve never puked from exercise, but I do have a far more embarrassing problem. After I do heavy deadlifts (like this afternoon), I feel really emotional for a couple of hours, like I might burst into tears of joy or sadness.
It would be more manly to puke, I accept.
Today:
TB deadlifts: 5 x 175kg; 3 x 185kg (4 wouldn’t budge)
Pull ups: 15kg x 5; 20kg x 3
Landmine press: 55kg x 8 (PR)
Curls and hamstring curls to finish.
Decent workout.

I've studied.
your body is probably saying, stop fking moving!
Temporary cessation of movement was 100% soon as I got through my garden gate, but fairly rapid from my car to that point.your body is probably saying, stop f
king moving!I still feel s
t, not been able to eat apart from a shake, and even that made me feel worse....
Some good sessions in the gym still smashing the pull ups at home. Did some bench work last night not having done any since Xmas topped out at 155kgs didn’t feel the explosive power that I did the last time I did them, maybe the slightly down on body weight so maybe that’s why. Pretty good separation starting to show in my upper back/ chest.

How's the leg, Ben? You appear to be on the mend. Any leg work in the routine?
It's not bad TBH- started some light quad work, and some very light ham curls. Left leg has lost a bit of mass, but should be easy enough to recover it with a bit of additional 1 leg work. It's still miles form recovered though- standing on my left leg only still isn't easy.....zero stability. Nothings firing as it should, but I'm sure it will in time. Getting some walking in at lunch time, and whilst it's still tight/soreish, it's coming on well.Today>
BB row: 7x 170kg, 20x 140kg, 30x 100kg
Cable row, CG: 4 sets
1 arm cable row: 4 sets
Preacher DB: 4 sets
DB hammers: 3 sets
Decent. Sick again half way through..... not feeling ill, more exertion. Probably should back off a bit until I'm recovered. Maybe.
My routine has been terrible since mid last week. I have so much on my mind it has been very difficult to concentrate fully on my workouts. I know that when you train at or near your limits, it is just as exhausting mentally as it is physically, and if you fk up the former, you simply cannot train at or even near your limit. For me, anyway.
With that in mind, I have changed my routine for this week, cutting out a set from 5 to 4, and dropping the weight slightly, but giving myself 60 seconds between sets. This isn't ideal, but I figured it's better than no training at all, and I did feel a lot better after each session, which lasted no longer than 50 minutes. Hopefully, this is just a blip...

as you say there’s a fine line between smashing it and getting smashed, any external stresses can have a huge impact and can take a very long time to recover from.I myself have been through the ringer for the last year so I know how hard it can be, but I treat my gym sessions as therapy so for those 55 minutes I think of absolutely nothing but achieving maximum return for my efforts.k up the former, you simply cannot train at or even near your limit.
