Sooner or later, the crap floats to the top and gets removed from the tank. Or, using my fish tank as an analogy I'd call it "skimming the scum" off the top. And today that happened and the right people got bumped up. Congrats Mikey Gunz.

Not retired
Just sick like a dog. About 2 days after the last post I came down with a "viral intestinal infection" which I think was a fancy way to say stomach flu. Either way, I hit the motherlode of illness; fever, chills, sweating, aching, headaches, dehydration, nausea, diahrerra. And those were the highlights. I slept for four days at one point. And one month (and twenty-two pounds lighter) I started training again. It was everything I could do just to get out of bed. I had no energy and the smallest effort left me drained. It was so bad at one point that I was "forced" to go to the doctor's office. His good news was I was not dying. The bad news was this crap could linger for several weeks. And it has.
Around the fifth of August, I drug the sled (light) approximately 20 times over 200' using upper and lower body lifts. On the sixth, I got married. (Which someone nameless suggested I should be well prepared for via all the sled dragging I was doing.) That was a wonderful day in the midst of it all. I now have a beautiful bride and an ornery 14 year old! We are quite the crew ;-)
On the ninth I started training again (offically I guess). Sled drags for (upper) conditioning then some jumps, squats and pulls. On the tenth; more sled work (lower), speed bench 45% for seven sets of five reps and chin-ups in between. Some corrective shoulder work with a mini band and band pushdowns to finish it off. On the eleventh, more jumping.
