Wow, looks like everything is going exactly according to plan... :)

And yes, I occasionally get the same surprises in my strength levels. I'm on the Russian Program right now, and experiencing much the same.

As to the crowded gym situation, try channeling your anger into the weights. For it's here, that it'll bring you benefit.

Great work!!!

GLP 2, Bench workout 11, Sept. 20

Really starting to notice the strength gains, in my bench.

I have been using the eat stop eat diet plan, and have started to see some changes already. I am leaner in my mid section which is what I wanted. My weight has dropped however, I think I am sitting at around 172 now. Not that I am upset with that. Now just to pack on some lean muscle mass on the next run and life will be good.

Getting leaner, yet stronger by the day.

Way to go man! Love it!!

Yeah, i wasn't sure how to look at the weight at first. But looking in the mirror I can see the difference. As long as my strength keeps going up I will be happy.

I was toying with the idea of doing a bulk to put on some serious weight, around 10 pounds then doing a cut to get back down to 175. But I will see where I end up after this run and where my body wants to be.

Strength gains are a great gauge of progress. Muscle comes on in ounces (ounce by ounce - usually). Not as easy to gauge... :)

Well here comes an avalanche of posts. I haven't been on the boards in a while but I have been working out.

I was in Salt Lake City last weekend racing motorcycles, so I had almost a full week off. It was nice to know that with all that rest I didn't loose any strength.

I am starting to feel really good now, and am really liking the way I look in the mirror. Not to mention I am hitting PR's all over the place.

New PR! Way to go man... :)

And you're getting ready to peak, on GLP2!!! Do practice visualizing that 1RM not for a single, but for a triple! Do this no less than 3 times/day prior, with at least 1 of those coming before sleep.

What the mind can conceive, the body will achieve... :)
