sorry to hear about ur forearm problems, gotta say though, ur strenght is immense man, ur presses stand out, and deadlifts too, and from the videos it looks like ure not a slacker on form, which makes it even more impressive

 

[philosopher]

Hows it going with your arm Mike.?

 

[Mikew]

Update.

Philo: Its getting better, but its not good yet. Gonna rest this weekend and try to be back in the gym on monday. Hopefully I will be recovered.

Bulkboy: Im doing my best : )

Edit: Diet is still on, 88.1kg this morning. Im totally depressed tho, cause I havent been training for the last two weeks so it feels like its muscle being burnt up

 

[Mikew]

Update yet again.

Still no training, and today im getting my final session at the tattoo parlour, so next week im going to start again. The arms are if not perfect, well close enough atleast Im gonna start light, and get a feel for it, casue it feels like I have to start over again. You dont realise how addicted you are to training, until you have to rest several weeks, despite having all the motivation you ever needed I just wanna get back on track and start lifting again.

Good thing tho, my summer vacation is coming up in 2 weeks, then its all out training for me

Sorry for not checking out all of your logs, but I rarely sit at the computer nowadays. I will be back on it, when my training kicks off again.

Take care, and lift heavy!

I was running today : ) It feels just awesome, now that I´m much lighter.

The arm-problem is gone, now I´m just waiting for Thursday, thats when I´m gonna get back and start the weight training again.

Thanks for all the support guys : )

I couldnt help it. I had to go to the gym today, it beckoned me.

I´m very happy to still be doing reasonable weights considering my diet and the injury. My morning weight was 87.7 kg this morning, so I don´t have much left. I´m aiming for +/-85kg, so my abs get that cut look : )
