I ended up getting sick towards the end of this week, but I decided to push my luck and complete all my scheduled workouts anyway. The workouts are definitely much harder when your airways are clogged and finishing each set means feeling your heart beat in your head. This was also the first "extra" week where I extended the protocol listed on Hundredpushups.com, so there were some big numbers that I had to hit.
The pull-up workouts are starting to get tough as well, but I have noticed a big improvement in my "elasticity". Without losing too much integrity in my form, I feel like I can speed the movement up just a bit and "bounce" through quite a few pull-ups. Functionally, I think this is to be expected as I would need a huge increase in muscle mass to get through them "slow and controlled".
Next week looks like it will be a beast, so I am pounding "green" smoothies left and right and trying to get myself well again.
