Just an update
Haven’t been on this site much lately due to not having as much time as I had before. So I have made actually going to the gym or getting in my runs more of a priority than talking about on the web 
Training is going well and I feel like I’ve made solid strength gains lately. I’m experiencing a little bit with my benchtech to see if I can improve my 1RM. I’ve researched a little on technique and found out that the way I’ve been lifting (formwise) is more "bodybuliding-style" rather than "powerlifting-style". It’s hard though to change something you have done for years, so it’s going to be interesting to see how that works out. I’ve also felt strong doing deadlifts lately, pulling well over 200kgs (440ibs) for 5-6reps. Also very happy with my weighted pullups which I did 3×5 with 30kgs (66ibs) last week. Overall solid strengthwise.
Endurancewise I’m also pretty happy. Ran 7km easily in 31mins. Ran to the gym where I did a solid chest session afterwards. So I’m in better shape than ever overall.
I think I can see some changes in my fat%, but the bellyfat underneath my bellybutton is persistent. I can see more veinaction in my arms and shoulders, more toned out pecs, veins in my calves, but that bellyfat is a little annoying. My diet is overall healthy and I’m not cheating any during the week. I let myself eat some crap during fridays and saturdays since I’m not dieting to get totally ripped. I don’t really consider myself on a diet, just being strict with myself. So since I’m not counting my calories I can’t really expect abs to just suddenly pop out. I think if I keep being overall healthy that bellyfat will eventually slip off. Getting visible abs is no goal in itself, but it definitly would be cool some day. Patience is a virtue and overall I happy with my results in 2009.
