Overtraining is fantastic, no?![]()
I forget Iain, are you cutting, bulking, or recomping right now? Are you still in the IM Comp?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Yeah, I hear you Prem. I was bulking but mentally I can't do that for too long! And I don't know how to Recomp. So it's bulk, cut, bulk, cut- look same next year for me![]()

The most dreaded day still to come, for what ever reason I don't mind this workout, it is tough but I can accept that.
8b will be a killer for me, I think it is the Squats, they just drain so much from me mentally, because I suck at them.
Anyway, if I wasn't such a fat ass I think there has been some good changes, weigh and measurements this weekend, will see![]()
Be sure to measure at the end of week 1 phase 2![]()

Just an FYI, that I am pretty happy about
Went shopping last night for some pants. I usually wear a 36" waist, but could fit into a 34" waist ( a little tight however, just a little, At Old Navy) Anyway the last time I fit into a 34" waist pants was when I dieted before educating myself on any of these sites about 3 years ago and weighed around 195. I am now just under 220lbs.
So in other words I am pretty freakin happy![]()

Am I fucked or something, and I was liking the changes I saw![]()


Alright after a few days of thought I retract those statements. I am very happy so far with the progress I have seen in the mirror. And the measurement progress, is decent for a recomp. I forget that I am not currently lean, and that some decreases in measurement will be necessary, ie quads. Start Phase II on TuesdayAfter Reading peoples journals it looks like this will be a fun phase.
I think those changes are normal and it's great that you lost so little size but are happier with the way that you look! The mirror is the best judge, not tape or the scale. Congrats buddy, have fun with Phase II.
