Yikes!

So Friday marked the "2 week" period for this training. I put it in quotes because it isn't technically 2 weeks. 2 days short of it, but my trainer asked I report to him every other Friday with a food log, and a quick questionnaire. Anyway, for you guys I'd rather not spill my details just yet... but I will leave it like this, I got stronger, lost a small bit of weight, and I think I fucked up my measurements when I did them 2 weeks ago as everything was kinda fubared this week. I trust these measurements since I had help, so they're more accurate, and therefore, probably closer to the truth.

I just came back from a gym session and holy cow, am I getting stronger. Last week, when I did the barbell bench press... I got up 185 for 3 sets of 5 reps. The last set was tough, but I got everything up. So I figured this time I'd be ok to move up to 195 and expect the same results. But what actually happened was that I went through all 3 sets preeeeeety easily. (at 195). That was a little freaky in a way. Now, back when I was lifting regularly, I think my max was 255lbs on the bench, which I got 2 good clean reps on. I guess that's eventually my goal, but right now, getting 2 plates for 3x5 seems reasonable.

I also started doing this thing called "complex" which is very P90Xish. I take a barbell with no weights on it. And in order, do 6 reps of the following, with no break inbetween- Deadlifts, Straight Leg Deadlifts, Bent Over Rows, Hang Cleans, Front Squats, Push Press, Back Squats, Good mornings. And that is ONE set. I did that 3 times! That is one fucking pain in the ass, but I can tell it's going to work. Anyway, that's really it, enjoy the Nice weather today and for those who care.... Ravens, Cowboys, Chargers and Card's this weekend.
