training life after swine flu

afgan-ali · Jun 26, 2009

i just recovered from swine flue i had it about a month ago. i got back into training this week, during that time i lost 9 kilos. so when i got back into it this week i didnt no exactly where to start.

i have done this full body routine for this week, 3 times a week and am thinkin to do it for a 4 week cycle to see how it goes. what do use think, is this what i should be doing or am i wrong?? any help because i never done full body work outs before??

Superset 1 -
5 x flat dumbell bench press / medium grip pull ups
6 reps

Superset 2 -
5 x squats / deadlifts
6 reps

Triset -
5 x db lateral raises / seated db curls / pressdowns
6 reps

6 x calf raises (2 x feet pointed out / 2 x feet pointed strait / 2 x feet pointed in)

i take about 1-1 and half between sets and no rest in between the excercises. i finish in just under an hour. what do u think???

glad you recovered. i had it too.. lost 9lbs.. go back to gym today hope i pop some good numbers.

i don;t know about the supersets i think its just too exhausting right now.. i think you should start low for a week or two and then rank it up.. just my 2 cents

i wouldnt touch a super set. I would bump my calories up high and lift by how i feel.

I'm not sure if this thread is meant to be a joke or serious. Mainly because it is just a lay-off. Everyone has them. You make it sound like it's a big deal to have had a flu (try relearning to walk again, or having major surgery, or chemotherapy.....).

Just start lifting again as you were before. Use the first few sessions to figure out where you are at. Then go from there.

Of course lay-offs are a great chance to address flaws in your training and physique.
