I was moving along steadily with 5BX—into the second ladder and climbing without much trouble—until about a week ago when I got hit with a chest infection, the worst I’ve had in a while. For me it usually follows the same pattern: sore throat → runny nose → chesty cough. In the past, a quick course of antibiotics would sort me out, but this time it feels like it’s taking forever to clear my lungs.
Because of that, I’ve pressed pause on both 5BX and the gym. Part of me wonders if I was overdoing it—but at the same time, there’s this urgency in the back of my mind: build muscle while I still have the health, energy, and youth to do it.
For now, it’s recovery first. I’ll restart once my breathing feels solid again. The plan is to pick up where I left off and not lose the consistency I’ve built.
