Well it’s been about a month since my last write up and not loads has happened as I’ve been a lazy git! I did my 5 x 5 workout for a few sessions and my numbers started creeping up as I hoped. I managed to hit the 100kg mark on both my squats and deadlifts which I was chuffed about. I also managed to up my dips to bodyweight plus 25kg and my bench and rows improved too.
At this point I was really starting to like my gains and I had noticed a physical improvement to my muscles. However then I took a bit of a dive bomb for some reason! Not quite sure what triggered it but I just stopped going to the gym, and this week has been my first week back after about 4 weeks. I’m not impressed with myself at all since my belly has come back and I’ve lost some muscle mass and strength.
This week I’ve done two sessions so far keeping the weight light to medium to avoid too much DOM’s, still aching like a bitch though today. I’m really hoping I can get back to the higher figures I was at in a couple of weeks but I’ll need to work hard, especially with my eating.
I’ve got another session on Saturday to go this week then I’ll do a short write up next Friday I think to review my progress with getting back on track.
Workout Blog
Welcome to my workout blog! I have created this blog to help me monitor and motivate myself to achieving a decent diet, fat loss and muscle gains. I shall be posting on here fairly regularly with updates on my progress. I tend to do quite a bit of reading on work out related stuff. So if I come across any interesting articles or info I'll link them in the Articles section at the bottom of my blog so others can check them out too.
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave comments or ask any questions. There's a bit more info about me in the section on the left.
