Overcoming a Set Back

After having a stomach ache & being dehydration last week I have finally gotten back on track. My diet & workouts sucked last week. I was only eating about three samll meals a day & wasn’t drinking many fluids either. I dropped from 154lbs to 151.3lbs last week. Hadn’t been taking my CellTech or NitroTech since then either. Will start back on that stuff this weekend. This morning I was up to 152.8lbs so I’m finally getting back into the swing of things.

Had a great Chest & Tricep w/o last night. Enjoyed the chest part more than the triceps. Just felt like I accomplished more with chest. I went up to 165lb one max rep last night which for me is a big deal because it’s a major improvement from 120lbs 8 wks ago.

Getting Stronger

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.

Quest for Success

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!!
