I was at the gym last night working out with some of my friends.  I notice a big difference in my strength level.  I don’t know if it’s the encouragement from one of my friend (he use to compete in amateurs) or not.  I usually workout alone.  But I was lifting & pulling more weight than usual.  Up to 20-25lbs in some things.  It was very encouraging.  I’ve gained 5.5 lbs in 5 weeks of training & haven’t been able to tell a difference in my physique but last night boosted my confidence a lot.  But I still have ways to go to meet my goal.  But now I have a new found confidence & I will get there.

I started working out in mid-December after a 3.5 year absence from the gym with a goal to gain/bulk 25-30lbs.  I went into this guessing I was about 14-15% BF but I found out I was actually 20% this past Thursday (1/18).  This was a little discouraging but I know from talking with friends that this may not be so bad.  That my goal of 165 lean muscle wt with 9% BF should be easily obtainable.  I guess only time will tell.  I will succeed!!
