Damn. Well, life does this sometime to you. Soldier on or discontinue. Once it's in the chest, I'd say play it safe. We don't wan't to make it worse.
Health first as I always say!
JlCh Log - 1st Run, better late than never!
Last complete workout I saw was GLP #4. I've got to be honest here... I don't think given your time away its wise to pick back up where you left off.
Do transition to Cruise and do that 5 x 5 justice. You just may be pleasantly surprised by what you find.
These things happen but they are temporary. I suffered some major setbacks myself this week, but I'm not dwelling on it. Neither should you. I can see from your posts the desire is there. Provided your health is good, the gains will be there as well.
One twist to this: At the end of 5 x 5, I'd like you to take your 1RM in the BP and SQ. I have some ideas....

I was doing a 5x5 type deal before I started The BluePrint. Well, if I do 5x5 program, the lifts I wouldn't want to go heavy on would be squats/shoulder exercises (deadlifts as well). I remember seeing you talking about 20 rep squats somewhere (nolinksplease.com I think?), could we modify those lifts to suit my wants?
No, I'd execute as its outlined.
Give that a go. If we run into trouble, I have another plan. I have so many plans... I'm a planner. I have backup plans for my backup plans. Which tells me maybe my Plan A's aren't always that good
But no worries, I have your plan. I am planning my trip for tomorrow... and your plan on the plane. Just in case.

I tried and I failed, lol. I'm down 3 lbs from last Sunday (10th), and that should've been the first clue to go at it gently at first. Didn't lift nearly what I thought I could and ended up hitting a brick wall after benchpress/pullover super set. Will probably redue the workout after 2 more days rest.
As am I, on both accounts.LHockey wrote:hmm interested to see what rob has planned for you!
sorry about getting sick during your BP run that blows
Just thought I'd give a little bit of an update, that I hadn't forgotten about this :p
Still a bit sick. Nose stays stuffed and have a pretty nasty cough still although it isn't nearly as bad as it was last week. I did try to workout as I stated previously, and did 8 clean reps of 215 (9 with help) which was a PR (did 215 6 times for first 5 work outs in the beginning of feast) even with being sick/no strength. Will be hitting the gym Monday come hell or high water. The intensity just gets to me with not being able to breath properly and I really get limited on oxygen due to the nose plugging.
Just to clarify, will these 5 workouts be all of cruise?
