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.
Don't bet on it coming back. When you are getting old and you get hurt or sick you never get back to where you were before no matter how hard you try.---ken
