It’s official. I’m weak now. After taking 2 and a half weeks off due to my broken jaw, and it being wired shut I’m WEAK! I finally went back to the weight room and wanted to see where my strength was at. I first did some warm-ups and stretches. I’ve been consuming a lot of carbs from the weight gainers I’ve been taking so I really didn’t think that my strength going to suffer. My weight did lower though from 183 to 178. I was hoping that it was all water weight but I knew it wasn’t. Working out twice a day and having a strict diet plan to look good for Halloween was my usual workout regimen. Lately I’ve just been sitting around on the internet researching workout programs and Power Lifting information since I can’t do high rep bodybuilding routines due to the small amount of oxygen I breath because of my wired jaw. So anyways I tried to do my 1 rep max on bench. I started with 295 and couldn’t do it. Then 290, nope, 285, almost got a cramp, and  280, couldn’t do it. Finally I barely put up 275. Man did that suck for me. Freakin I remembered not so long ago lifitng 290 at when I weighed 180. I hate the fact that I’m on all liquid diet, but I didn’t think it would really affect my strength this much. I need to get on a Power Lifting/Strength program now cause I feel so weak. If anyone knows of any good workout routines please let me know. I want to just gain strength now and stop doing my normal body building routines that require a mixture of high reps and low reps. Man hopefully this drop in strength stops quick, cause it took me way longer that 2 weeks and a half to gain 20lbs in strength.
