Almost back on track it seems

Hello iron peeps wow it has been an amazing learning curve the past few days again, I started almost from scratch after the flu/neck sprain and a couple of extra days off just to ensure the bod is going to be OK I must say the lungs are suffering the most as if I lost all my fitness but the power is thankfully still there. . .
(I am small so its not that much though) but yeah working on changing that as things go on, I started an old favorite of mine to get the chest work on again (Still suffering from the rotator cuff issue (Its been since January thats insane) but yeah so I have split my session back to three 2 days heavy HST day one Upper body excluding chest and tri's, and then second day lower body with chest and tri's, then on the third day I brought back my old HST based cardio drop set sessions and man I forgot how hard it used to be . . .but I made it (feels great to finish a session like that ) Try it it works wonders on every part I start with about 50% of my general training weights and then in increments of 10Kg drop the sets doing high reps and taking very few breaks whole body for 5 giant sets. . .It will definitely remain in my arsenal for the coming summer readying season in September. . .I have gained quite a bit of flab on the off seasonal thinking and there is still 2 months left to go I dont think I will quite make the illusive goal of reaching 95-100 kgs body weight but still trying and then its back cutting again for January lets see what happens . . .I just hope I can get my chest working 100% again it is currently training on about 35% with little sign of improving but lets see. . .

below is some of the last pics I took to map my progress. . .

biceps are taking shape again shedding some flab and growing slowly but surely and the power is getting better and better on the cambered bar but no luck on the straight bar but will focus on getting out more soon - nothing special yet still needs some serious work

triceps are finally showing some shape and division still needs loads of volume and strenght as they are lacking in both departments the cuff issue has made it slightly troublesome but I think it will now be better the coming months

Shoulder top to say the least is a definite cuff issue but working around it to lift it a bit more and see what happens in time if it gets better I am sure I will be able to drive loads more sets through hit

Traps are probably the best muscle group have had until the neck sprain again but as it heals slowly I am sure it will be back to its position as my best performing muscle

ignore the belly I am gaining some flab but chest is really concerning and with the cuff pain there's not much I can do now but wait and make the joints stronger slowly and lightly. . 

vascularity is slowly returning through the extra carbs which is always a good sign for me 

Unfortunately lats had to be postponed with the neck sprain but in good time They need some massive work and their weight can definitely increase (budget come on I need more discs)

So thats it for tonight, diet wise I am not yet eating as a pig but getting there completely off of the chicken for now and for another 2 months then back to the chicken breasts and weigh checking. . .I have been slacking a bit but that's what the off mentality is all about I suppose. . .taking a slight break from the complete focus. . but getting hungry for some heavy and hard sessions soon, all in good time overall I think there has been a alight improvement from last month although I had almost a month off of training but I will only be able to do a proper assessment in the coming month. . .keep training hard and i will catch up with you again soon. . .

And now to re-engage the machine

So I generally get down the longer I am out of training but sometimes it has an adverse effect on my whole psychology, It starts brewing inside it starts feeding of all I have inside and then when I am almost done I can feel it burning I can feel it building and then I know that when I step up to the plates tomorrow after an almost three week rest from another injury that it is time to ignite the fire and let it burn throughout the reps for I can feel the believe again I can taste the victories undone and again I feel the heart motioning for a massive session coming along tomorrow I relinquish all little notions of squeamish niggles and let the drive take control let the focus unfold to a proper built machine for that is the whole purpose the dream!

Neck feels trainable lungs apart from the constant nicotine influx is burning to be exposed to the oxygen rush muscles are aching fro strain and humiliation and the weights are ready to wage some war tomorrow I start again no holds barred as i believe it is ready for the next level. . .

New niggle more drive

Good evening peeps, well I must say I am rather frustrated with all the new little niggles happening in the muscles the past month maybe its the cold I'm not sure but its getting ridiculous I am going to have a long chat with my body tonight and try and iron out all the problems for long now. . .My shoulder is slowly recovering still not able to bench at all I guess I will have to rework my chest from humble beginnings again. . .but now its the traps again and a little inside the lats right hand side mostly. . . .from the pics you can see it a bit as it starts spasm'ing from compensating for the sore neck. . .

here you cant really see it as I suppose its a little internal but if I flex it it has a painful hard spot that pulls all the way into my brain so i am taking a couple of days off again until its completely sound. . . . 

See how the closer to the cam side is protruding way more and straining all the way up not a nice feeling so rest (Well I'm gonna start cardio tomorrow again in my wanna be off season just to feel like I'm at least doing something

On the off season side well things are still going well I am at the point where I am starting to struggle to eat full all day thats the goal lol

keep up the hardwork keep training and keep your plans in hand and keep at it get over the little hurts and push harder and more when you return thats all I'm currently thinking more and more and more 

yeah getting there

So with the sickness I started slow tonight with minimal pressure on the air system (lungs) It felt amazing I am not quite sure if the shoulder will hold up there where a few moments where it felt strangely powerfull and other moments where it felt like snapping again. . .could be a possible mental issue but yeah power is still there endurance took a massive knock probably back 2 or 3 months with the lung and endurance capacity but me the washers will catch up soon, for now no cardio as everything starts off slowly to rebuild in the possible next three or four weeks. . .lets see

Vascularity returning on the first night slowly but getting in there

Gained some volume with the heavier diet but lost quite a bit of shape and not as tight as before

yeah the belly is starting to push out from the off season heavy weight protein and higher levels of fat Im taking in even doing a bit of sugars the past few weeks . . .yeah its gonna get chunky again soon as I start to switch between chicken and pork in the next few months in stead of the super dried chicken only. . .

but I feel smaller than ever must have been the flu' I am sure I will hopefully gain a 5-10 kilos before September when the mass diet starts to be ultra ripped by December lets see I want to no matter which weight but be ultra ripped by January 2014 and try and possibly see if I look good enough to do some novice competitions . . .

Desire to go further and move harder and harder

So about a week and a bit ago I was pushing new weights and driving myself harder than ever and man it was good and then i got the damn flu again but I must admit it might have just been what my body (shoulder and back needed to fully recover) I am feeling wholesome again and will hopefully be able to do some massive chest work again (please God let it be) so lets see as I start on the training avenue again tomorrow after a hectic relaxing almost 2 weeks off I can already feel that I am feeling better and stronger lung capacity picking up again. . .So yeah back to normal . . .

Here is some pics I did whilst I was suffering the sniffles

Biceps whilst not being trained for a while has lost some definition but gained some flab whilst I am still on a drive to eat more and more in the coming months . . .(you don't want to see my midsection)

This pics looks a bit stretched (being a designer it does bother me but it came of the camera like this so fitness hat on only) shoulders is still OK chest is so flat haven't been that flat in years 

Bi's and vascularity (man that must be a word) still looking Ok but now its time to maximize size and volume I want to get into a perfect shape relatively soon

and again biceps sorry that's all that still feels right for now but in the coming weeks I am almost certain things will start shaping up well again lets see . . .

Until the next post and please beg with me that the shoulder is now functioning OK train well be safe until next time. . .
