Chest workout
I’m steadily increasing my weight every week by at least 5 lbs. I’m not really sure if I’m supposed to be increasing this quickly or not but I’m getting a little impatient. I was alot stronger when I was 30 when I started lifting with Sam. He pushed me to the max but I have no one to push me but myself and his voice in my head. He seriously gets me through every workout.
Well I actually benched the most I’ve every benched. Might not sound like alot but it is for me. I benched 100 lbs, 3 reps. Had to find a spotter though. I just started working out steady at the Y so I don’t know anyone. So everyday when I go in I scan the joint to see who I’m going to ask to spot me. Has to be someone who knows what they’re doing and that really narrows it down. Don’t want some young dude, don’t want someone who’s wife is there (in case she wants to try and kick my ass) so I usually end up finding some old guy or some real ugly guy…lol. There really aren’t that many bodybuilders in Wichita and they certainly don’t work out at the Y so finding someone with experience to help me out is out of the question.
I think I’m finally over my weight thing. I weigh myself every morning and at first I was losing weight like crazy. So I lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks and then started taking Creatine last Friday and gained 3 lbs and lost it again a few days later but haven’t lost anything since last week. I’m not going to worry about it because I know I’m gaining muscle. There’s no doubt about that. I haven’t changed my diet or my workout so it’s not something I’m doing wrong. I was going to stop taking the Creatine this weekend to see if I lost anything but now I’m kind of addicted to the fact that I can lift heavier every week plus I find that I’m not as sore after my workouts since I’ve been taking it. So I’m going to try it for another week and if I haven’t lost any inches I’m going to have to add more cardio, which I’m doing this week anyhow. I don’t usually do cardio on the weekends but I’m going to add in two more sessions to see if it makes a difference.
So tonight I’m off to do legs and 45 min of cardio. I only got 5 hrs sleeps last night so I’m not feeling 100% and I really wanted to try some heavier squats. But we’ll see how it goes.
One other thing. My diet is up to around 1400 calories a day now since I’ve increased my protein intake. My ratio is around 53/28/19 (P/C/F)
