Week 25
Stayed rather even this week. No significant weight loss or gain, no change in BF%, pinch total was only 2 mm different from last week. The weight is creeping up this weekend, but not sure if it’s my usual weekend water weight gain or what. Have to see what happens during the week. Maybe I am finally getting some muscle weight gain?
I think, though, that my arms are gaining well… I think. Seems like they are bigger, haven’t measured them lately and won’t until about the 25th. I was able to go up a bit on the curls w/o aggravating my right elbow too badly, so perhaps it’s working. I also have been doing Zottman curls for a few weeks now instead of the plain old alternating DB curls and I think that’s been having a positive effect. This was also the second week of going heavier on squats and dead lifts, so that should help the legs. I have posted no pix of my legs… they’re nothing to brag about. I also have few pix of them. I took some back in January, I think. I should take some again.
Came up with a forum sig this week: "I may not be as big/buff/ripped/awesome as many BodySpacers, but I look a whole lot better than 90% of the general population." That came to me earlier in the week when we had some really good weather and lots of folks were outside with not much on for jackets and such for the first time in many months. On my way home from work that day I was noticing the people out and about and was suddenly aware of the multitude of not-so-great body types out there: the beer bellies, the ultra-skinny, the arms with no definition, the immense. I guess having been into the BBing for more than five months now has made me more aware of that. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, perhaps for the first time. It was to the point that most anyone I happened to see it was, "I look better than him, and I look better than him, and oh wow, I sure look better than him," etc. I think I saw one guy with a decent build that afternoon, and even he wasn’t a "10." That night I added the sig line. I guess it doesn’t say much about the general public that me with my still-too-chubby midsection looks better than most anyone else on the street…
I’d like to look even better, so I am still at it!
