First time in 2 years, I left the gym half way through my work out.
Do I go in tomorrow or take a few days off?
I would just play it by ear see how you are tomorrow.
No point in going in if you're not up to it.

I felt mentally and physically fine when I left home and started warming up, albeit a little tired and fatigued.I would just play it by ear see how you are tomorrow.

It is a good idea, if I had been regularly swimming.Why not go for a swim instead??

Youre more likely to find me at the bottom of the pool with the way Im feeling.
Normally I like to go for 30min walk after weights. I was too exhausted to even do that.
Good excuse to carbo-load tonight.
There is a pasta with my name on it.
lol.I dont mean do 1500M like Perkins
Just a gentle swim, taking it easy.
Glory be its almost 30 degrees on Tuesday both Adelaide and Melbourne.I'll be hitting the pool big time on Tuesday.
Will take an esky, some cold water + stay there half of the day.

Is there a spa at your swimming center? I definitely would relax in a spa. Unfortunately they are all closed in Adelaide.
I trained but took it easy for 3-4 days after my first jab, just did some easy maintenance at medium weightFirst time in 2 years, I left the gym half way through my work out.
Whats worse is that I was the strongest guy in the gym at the time, as it was empty.
Absolutely gassed and exhausted. I slept and ate well too, so no excuses for that part of my life.
I can only blame the Moderna jab I had on Friday.Right upper arm is very sore too from the jab, but not to any degree to stop me working out.

Thanks for the feedback, thats good to know.I trained but took it easy for 3-4 days after my first jab, just did some easy maintenance at medium weight
Think I benched 110-115kg 5 days after the jab for triples, was the week I got my new rack, then the next week 11-12 days after the jab was my 135kg 1RM, felt good and refreshed for it. 2nd jab I barely noticed anything and went about business as normal, 1st one I had a sore arm and had really deep sleeps for about a week, so I guess that heavy lift came after a period of rest.
Training on my old rack I had to leave reps in the tank and not go that heavy, would normally just bench 90 or 100, no collars as the safeties were too low and only protected my neckThanks for the feedback, thats good to know.
It wouldnt surprise me if youre benching at a reduced capacity the first time was also as result of a new setup at home. Like going to a new gym?
No, the night I had my first jab I jumped on my echo bike and had a trundle on that to get some blood flow in there, just felt like a bruise, didn't bother me, was moreso just mindful of not exerting myself too quickly as some people have struggled in that regard going too hard after the jab and having funny things happen to their cardiovascular/respiratory systemsDid your sore arm, impact OHP or any delts workouts?
Legs early in the week at commercial gyms is always the way to go, guys simply don't train it until Friday or Saturday if they do train it at all. Wednesdays or Fridays or even Saturdays I seemed to find myself benching back then to "escape" the brahs hogging all the benchesDeep sleep I had this morning too, felt good, which is why I was a bit peeved that I stopped early. However, better to stop earlier in my situation then to unnecessarily push too hard, two days after the jab.
Thanks to your "bullshit of leg days on Monday", I cut myself some slack as I did legs again today, so twice in a week was fairly decent. Though I only did squats, dead lifts and pullups.
Your "bullshit" advice, I say in jest, it seems obvious but I would always start every Monday with Chest, by completing every cycle (push pull legs) its been a game changer to my workouts.
They're actually fine if you don't move at all! I got the Xrays and Doc advice that I'm unlikely to injure myself further as there are no sharp bits so it's just painkillers for breakfast and get on with the day. I only have one clean crack which is much easier than mutiple.That's fairly hard core. I'm told broken ribs are extremely painful.
A former colleague fell off her bike, iirc broke 3 or 4.

Honestly it depends on the movement. In the morning if I try to go from lying down to sitting up quickly I get a sharp 7, everything else it's less than that.And the pain out of 10 when you do move??
I'd be the biggest pussy. I wouldnt even be WFH, I'd be on sick leave and in bed lol. I dont do well with pain.
Credit!!I switched to weight exercises before swimming. Even only lighter ones usually too tired doing it the other way around.
