Sick w/ flu-like symptoms

Ricci's post prompted me to want to re-post this 70s big article about how to get back into training after you've been sick and why it's so crucial to not train sick: http://70sbig.com/blog/2011/02/dont-train-sick/

I've been sick since last Thursday, so I haven't lifted since Tuesday, Jan. 22.  I haven't been eating anywhere near normal quantities until yesterday.  So based on 70sbig recommendations, I should jump back in with a light-medium workout tomorrow.  I think this will entail going at 90% of my 3x5RM for squat and press.  After that, I'll consider doing the CFFB metcon for the day based on how I'm feeling from the lifting.  Then, I'll rest on Friday and try to get a medium/moderate metcon in on Saturday morning before I leave for New York.  Sunday will be a rest day, and hopefully I'll be able to jump back to my normal schedule on Monday and pick up where I left off squatting what I squatted last Monday (290 3x5).

Drinking this Saturday night may set me back.
