I went to the gym today

I had low expectations. I was not disappointed.

I was not able to complete my maintenance goals of warm-up and then four sets of six reps of dead-lifting my bodyweight.

The warm-ups went OK. My warm-up isn't very scientific. It is six reps of 135lbs (the bar + a 45 pound plate on each end) then six reps of 185 (the bar + a 45 and a 20 pound plate on each end).

I managed one set of six reps of my bodyweight and my glutes and hamstrings said "Enough".

I don't think the flu made me weak. I think the inactivity that went along with the flu did.f

I expect the stamina to come back quickly if I lift once every three days and walk on the other two days.
