Progress for my intensity phase...

OK.

So a wee while back I posted about moving into an Intensity phase.

Here is an update to that.

1. I've not managed to nail the 2 a day exercise. But, I have significantly increased my total exercise time. Mainly by getting to the gym early in the morning for an hour. I've been pushing my legs quite hard on Monday mornings which means by Wed morning I need to aquajog for some active recovery.

2. So that carries on to the more weights. I'm lifting much bigger weights and slightly lower reps. Have dropped back from hitting 20 reps in the 1st set to more like a 15,12,8 set pattern.

3. Supplementing is going well. The Thermogenics took a bit of getting used to again and the creatine has wacked on some serious water weight (like 4 kilos). But, I'm pleased with the supplementing regime. I fell like a million bucks most days and I'm nialing some hard morning gym sessions.

4. My eating has not changed a great deal. Slightly better at making my own lunches (generally Chicken breast and salad sammies). Have been MUCH better at eating fruit. Doing at least 2 pieces a day which is a major change for me- loving apples at the moment. Mmmmm... big juicy apples.

Weight this morning 104.2. Now this is up on pre creatine levels but given that when I started the loading phase I bounced up to almost 106kgs I think I'm still well on target for sub 100kg by Xmas. I really have been stripping it off over the past few weeks.

So, all in all good progress.

My recent training calendar.
