Granted, relative to where I was before surgery, the bench strength is week, but I'll take a 10 pound increase in flat bench every power workout. HELL YEAH. Biceps certainly felt stronger today too.

Endurance: 10/10

Well, workout was low rep, so the endurance factor wasn't huge, but it really helped for PWO cardio.

Other

All is still going well. I've got legs tomorrow, which means I get to see how far my squat has come. Should be FUN!

Well, the workout was great, but it feels like everything else in my life has taken a turn for the worse. My girlfriend of 3 years said she wants to take a break. I've been her only serious boyfriend and she is uneasy about that. I don't know how girls think, but she wants to take a break to see if I am the right person for her. To be honest, I pretty down right now. I really do love that girl, but if she isn't 100% into the relationship, then I am not going to force her to be with me. I only hope that she finds out I am right for her. Until then, the gym will become even more important to me, as its the only stable thing I've got right now.
​

 

[crader]

That sucks!!! I hope it work out for you, but it sounds like you have the right mind-set if it does not.

 

[dsade]

Absolutely...you have your head on pretty straight and no matter what happens, you will prevail.

Your workouts are right on target, and your recovery is impressive, to say the least.

Thank you Dsade and thank you crader. You have both really motivated here and I thank you for that.

It will be rough for a couple weeks I assume, but I'll still have my workouts to keep me on track.

Again, thank you both.

Anytime, my friend....growth comes at times when you least expect it...and sometimes when you least desire it...but it comes anyway.

You are stronger than anything...and you have friends here to lend you support if you need it.

[haiz69]

[size=+2]Day 45, 46, 47, 48[/size]

Training

I am now training with Buffhunk (from AM), as I really wanted to get some more focus on certain things. The basic premise of the program is TUT (Time under tension) along with strength and hypertrophy days. Metabolic Tranining will also be included, which I LOVE.

Anyways, friday was a metabolic strength upper body day. Took Saturday off, sunday was Shoulders/Chest/Bi's and today was Back/Tri's. I LOVE the new program and everything is flowing nicely right now.

Strength: 9/10

Strength keeps climbing. Heath (buffhunk) has me doing some pretty nice circuit style training this week and my strength is still up! YEAH!

Endurance: 10/10

Again, this style of training requires some serious endurance + intensity. I kicked ass...but my PW is out, so I hope endurance doesn't drop off.

Other

Overall, everything is SICK!
​

 

[crader]

What kind of program are you on?

 

[haiz69]

What kind of program are you on?

To be honest, I'm on the "do what heath says program". I've got a new log up over in the workout log section, in which heath can explain it a little better.
