Feeling better than last week..I actually practiced BB front squat yesterday
evening in my garage with ~30 lbs. Also practiced correct technique of deadlift.
Went to walk this morn.
I think I could start working out from today..but rememer to take is slow this week. I was feeling bad about having missed about 1-2 weeks of working out --I told myself: Rest of 50 week that count , not just missing 1 or 2 weeks due to being sick.
so, hoping to slowly start working out (mainly 5X5 stronglifts) from this week..
Also, over the weekend I came across a boxer type training routine on exrx, that I would like to try out for few months. I am thinking of doing
5x5 for 2-3 months then switch to boxer routine after that to add variety.
Lets see how it goes..
