Notes: Hello! I’m back! After almost a 5month hiatus, I am back at the gym. The reasons for me leaving aren’t important, because at the end of the day, it’s my choice whether or not I hit the gym, regardless of circumstance. That’s what determination, motivation and discipline is all about. Anyways, I’m not here to make excuses for myself, I’m here to get back to where I previously was, and beyond. And as much as it sucks, we have to start somewhere. AND IT REALLY DOES SUCK! Never have I felt so weak, and almost embarrassed in a gym before. I know that time, hard work, and patience will fix all this, but it is very discouraging. The numbers definitely speak for themselves. I am taking a different approach this time around, with more focus on my torso, which was always slightly weaker in proportion to my arms, shoulders and legs. That being said, for about a month or two, I will focus in on gaining some strength in my chest and back, with my secondary muscles (bicep and triceps) being worked to a lesser extent. Starting next week, I will incorporate my shoulders and maybe some leg work in as well, but for the time being, I’m going to try to best to refrain from isolating my arms in any of the exercises I do. Although somewhat painful, it feels absolutely great to be back. The gym is a very therapeutic activity for me, and going back makes me realize how much I missed it. Well, enough talk, give me some time and I’m sure my numbers will increase. IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK.
