Fitness Journal #12 - Reboot

Wow the last fitness journal was so long ago. Anyway I'm back! With more personal updates that noone will read besides myself.

I did gym quite a bit in the US but for some reasons didn't really make much progress. Then I stopped by gym sessions last year during Thanksgiving period, and didn't gym again till February this year. After not gymming for so long, my muscles were all weak again and I had to start from scratch in progressing my lifts :(

Anyway, it's been about 2 months since then, and I've been trying to regain my original weight of 68kg (I actually dropped to below 66kg. The horrors!), and now being fairly close (67.7 for over a week) I'm going to stop trying, and start bulking! The goal is to get rid of my tummy heh. Cardio and diet here I come! Target weight is 65kg before I start eating more again.

As for my weights, here are my improvements: (First number was what I started at)

Bench Press : 45kg -> 55kg

Machine Flies: 27kg -> 41kg

Hammer Curls: 8kg -> 12kg

Forearm Swinging Curls: 10kg -> 12kg

Squats : 40kg -> 45kg (barely did this, will prob do it more since I want more cardio)

Shoulder Press : 22.5kg -> 37.5kg 

Deadlift - 50kg - 65kg - 50kg (I started doing just 1x5, but now I'm switching to a 3x5 routine)

I really want to get my bench press up, with the target weight being my body weight. Will take a while more though, I think I'll take another 2-3 weeks to bring it above 60kg. As for Squats, I think I'll start doing them every session if the gym permits.. I hate waiting for machines and the Squat rack where I go always seems occupied. If have to wait too long I won't.

I have some photos taken too, but I will post them together when I hit 65kg heh. Ok bye
