Tale(s) of the Tape!
This last month is one of the busiest of the year for me at work. I have the NAB trade show which puts me in Vegas for 11 days and then a corporate sales convention which takes me out for another week. So I was on the road for basically 3 of the 4 weeks. The hours at these two events get stupid so training gets sporatic.
I had semed to hit a plateau of the past 2-3 months. Tape measure and weight kinda stuck around the same places for quite some time. So today I was very pleased to find that masurements had changed for my chest and for my quads by almost 3/4" over the last 6 weeks (applaud if you want to … i thought someone stole my mojo!).
I don’t know if I just managed to get a good rest and recovery during the month (kinda felt i had been burning the candle at both ends) or what. My strength has gone up during this period and my workouts I thought were nicely varied and challenging. I know I was putting everything I had into them. So I was quite frustrated by the scale and the tape.
Last thought was I managed to catch a gastro this week. "Holy cwap" as my 6 year old would say! Completely out commission for about 36 hours and only 70% yesterday in the gym. However it has passed and I’m rarin to go!
