Not a wall just a dense thickett
Some days or weeks it is like treading through cold molasses. Progress is still constant but I don’t look like a bodybuilder yet. I think I look like a fit older guy. I want to look more than that. As I approach 50 I know I have to really gear up for the body’s "anti push" of fattening and flattening! OK, so I worked out 4 times in the past 2 weeks! That is not how to stay in shape or grow for that matter. Today is the back and Lat attack. After being so laime lately I know in the next 2 days it will feel like I have been filleted-like a Rainbow Trout. But, progress can be sore-painful. I just need to realize there are ups and downs. I need to make sure I do not let ruts turn into graves. Thank the Maker I quit smoking. What bitch that is. It still sucks but I am getting used to it. Maybe that is why I dropped my aggressive training so much. Fortunately the diet did not suffer too much although my chocolate intake did increase dramatically. I rationalized the need for more endorphins which funny enough did seem to help. I did run while eating that stuff though. So I just have to pick up the pace again with increased protein and creatine. Other than that no problems. Lifting is not hard. It is work and my eyeballs pop when I do it but just the same getting motivation back is harder than actually lifting the weights. I have to make sure too that it does not effect the workout or I lift so-so. I really do not want to waste time at the gym if I am not giving it 150%!. So, back to the gym today for a full assault.
