Normally when you hear this, it’s because someone is not putting the effort out, or they’re not motivated. For me, its the opposite. I am doing a mass building workout, on a 3 day split, and I have 3 minutes between sets, with high weight. I’m so used to doing a low weight, high rep, low wait time between sets, that I’m going crazy. I feel like I’m not doing enough in the gym, however after my workouts, my muscles are so taxed, its awesome. I’m sure once I get into week 3, I will be used to the wait, and also used to the idea of high weight. I really have noticed a difference in just the first week of my new workout. I hope after my 12 week plan is up, I can see a lot of change. I will take a progress pic tonight, and see if I can tell a difference from the previous week. My slacks fit better though, thats for sure!

Well tonight was the 2nd night of my mass building workout, and its leg night. Previously when I did squats, I always did the squat machine, and never did BB squats. Tonight I put on my big boy pants and just did it. My knees seemed kind of weak, which worried me. I think I need to strengthen them. Also it was very hard to keep my heels down on the floor when going down. My flexibility was bad, or I was squatting with poor form. It kind of sucks because I don’t have anyone at my gym I would feel comfortable asking to give me pointers on squatting. I didn’t do very much weight, but thats ok, I have to start somewhere!

My diet is going well, I actually feel so much better by eating clean foods, and by eating on a more regular basis. Also eating small meals every 3 hours is awesome. I eat less, and I don’t get as hungry. I hope that this is truly a lifestyle change for me.
