Back to the gym after a three weeks break. Thanks to a gastroenteritis, I lost 10 pounds and lowered by BF to 15% (according to the imprecise impedance scale). Christmas hasn’t been too bad on the diet, I’ve been eating plenty of good food, a little more crap but not too much. My BF is up a little, but nothing insane, and partying is pretty much over (only one more to go).

Not too much damage, hopefully. I’ve lost a little strength (back to 70lbs DB on bench press rather than 80lbs, and down on pretty much all lifts), but I guess this is mostly due to my nervous system being on the slow.

After 2 days with a reentry full body routine, and not having time to put up a new one, I decided to give a shot at the 4 weeks routine of Jan 09 M&F. Basically, it’s 4 exercises for chest/back/shoulder, 3 for arms, 2 for abs, with 3×7 and 1×25 (except for abs, 2×20). Pretty intense I must say. I’ll complete week one tomorrow, and I’m still really sore from my training 60 hours ago. Week 2 is pretty much the same thing, but with 4×8 for all, and a drop set at the end. Week 3 involves super sets, and week 4 involves rest-pause. If I’m still alive on week 5, it’ll go for light 3×10.

Dieting is going well, I’m trying to stick to 55C/20P/25F as for the macros. Thanks to mommy, I’ve got a good supply of roasted turkey breast in the fridge, of veal meat balls in the freezer, and I packed a copious amount of oats that was on sale. Sleep is going well too, which is incredible considering that there’s a new girlfriend around. That’s all folks!
