Faster Equals Stronger

I’ve been busy with work stuff and haven’t posted recently, but it’s been a crazy end o’ the week. The workouts have been going very well. On Saturday, I met with my buddy who’s a personal trainer and he about killed me.

The pace was much quicker than what I was used to, so it really wore me out. However, it made me realize that Saturday’s session needs to be my new standard — and on both Monday and today, I’m proud to say I met that standard.  

Monday, I concentrated on triceps and, today, I focused on my back. In fact, I did dead lifts for the first time in forever (because they can screw up one’s back if done wrong, I quit doing squats and dead lifts a long, long time ago — but I’m trying to re-introduce them into my training).

I’ve also done a good job getting my cardio a minimum of four days a week.

On the negative side, I haven’t lost a pound in the past week — nor has my waist gone down any, which is discouraging. Still, I’m a firm believer that hard work isn’t wasted. At some point, I have to lose the fat.
