Update.

Friday 14th March 2008

Yesterday (friday) was chest and tri's day but considering I am not training my arms now (for the forseeable) it was just chest for me.

I am still not feeling 100% and I may pay a visit to the docs to get a new pair of lungs next week.

After only training 3x this week I was up for chest big time and was filled with anticipation as to how strong I would be as I hadn't trained chest 'properly' for around 5 weeks due to the show etc.

I suprised myself and Matt so I would rate it as a very good session.

Although we did very little in terms of volume the intensity was there and my chest is SO sore today, so in terms of muscle trauma and fibre destrction it was pretty insane.

Chest

Flat Bench Press

1x15 60kgs
1x8 100kgs
1x6 120kgs
1x5 142.5kgs
1x10 120kgs dropped to 100kgs for 5 (failure)

Incline Flye/Press

1x12 35kgs
1x10 46kgs (failure)

Seated Machine Press

1x15 1/2 stack (failure)

That was it. Over in 30 mins. Matt did 1 warm up on Lying tricep ext and then 1 work set but after talking after the session he may well knock arms on the head too as when he didn't train them they grew even more!!!

I now have the weekend off and will rest and eat (as well as running a few errands)

As for my condition 2 weeks after the show, I am fairly pleased with how its all hung together really considering how much I have been stuffing down my face. I have now calmed down as far as my eating goes but being far more instinctive. I am eating every 2-3 hours and just varying the macros depending on my state of hunger (without overeating)

My weight has stabilised now at 14st 7lbs first thing and has been this weight for the last 5 days or so. As I stated I want to hang around this weight for a few weeks until my body feels really comfortable with it and then take it up a notch to push out another 5-7lbs taking me up to the 15 stone mark or 95kgs. I will get no heavier than this and to be honest I will be lucky to get that heavy whilst trying to maintain my lean condition.

Next session is one I am really looking forward to and will be back on monday and the start of our deadlift programme.:lift:
