i've was feeling bad this morning with a cold, its been working on me all day, face was on fire, runny nose, headache etc and i couldn't face working out, but i thought of all the support i've been getting

and it gave me the strength to get it done.
turns out i had a great workout

i have been trying to focus more on form recently with slightly slower negatives, and a very slow negative on the last rep of presses, looks like it may be working.
i almost got 8 reps in incline too, just fell slightly short.
it also got me thinking, i wonder if the slight fever and raised body temp was to blame for the good workout. i.e. sort of a warmup effect.
i will give this more thought in the future. i knew at some point when the weight got too much i would have to start warming up, perhaps this shows its time now.
i am working two 12 hours shifts the next few days so i will no doubt be heavier with water again when i weigh myself on sunday, so i will take my weight tomorrow morning too, to highlight this effect.
