Glad to hear you're doing well and you will be getting back to a more normal routine. Keep me posted on how you're doing. I have just posted my 60 day pics. I can certainly see the differences from day 1 and from day 30. I am generally very impatient when it comes to my results so I am really forcing myself to stay the course and be patient.
Hey Andy how goes the come back routine? I bet it feels good to be back at the iron. Well I am in the middle of week 7 of the Max-OT program and I must say I feel stronger and see progress in the mirror as well. I will be up for my 60 day progress pics in a few days so we will see then when I can compare side by side.
That's great that you will begin to workout starting next week. I know how badly it sucks to not be able to workout due to injury or surgery and I know how anxious one can get to be back on the iron. Are you gonna do the Max-OT or are you gonna start out light and work your way back into things? The latter would be the safest bet to prevent undue injuries after a layoff like that.
Andy, how goes the recovery? Have you been able to get back to your normal routine? I am making great strides with this Max-OT. I already reached my goal of 400lb squat in a manor of 6 weeks so now I had set a new goal of 500lbs.
hey there..Yes they do have shows in Dallas.The Europa is pretty big.And I did Fitness America Texas.Im not sure whats next Im just starting to think about it.Prolly spring time.How are you?
Hey Andy, how goes the recovery? Hope you are doing well. I am on week 3 of the Max-OT training and each workout I am loading just a little more weight especially on the big compound moves like squat, bench, and deadlift. I know how aggrivating it is when you are laid up and can't workout. Keep the faith brother!
I know exactly what you mean. I was used to doing more exercises and more sets. Tomorrow will be the close of week 1 for me and my son. I don't know if this will make sense but, I can tell the difference between muscle fatigue and muscle stimulation. It is a different kind of soreness after the routine. This one certainly provides the muscle stimulation. Sorry to hear about the knee. I had a co-worker sprain his ankle playing dodgeball of all things and now he is out of the gym for a while too.
Did you have a chance to check out that Max-OT Training Program yet. I started it this past Monday and man can I tell a difference in the way my muscles feel and react to it.
Trust me, I know my body does not reflect my knowledge and that is soley due to previously poor eating habits. I dropped like 40-45 lbs in 3 months at the beginning of this year and then i tapered off because I got lax again and caused me to gain back 10 lbs. I have a renewed conviction to make my body reflect what I know and preach.
Yeah you might be interested in this program too. It is specifically designed for gaining muscle mass & strength I could send you a copy of it if you would like. It changed my perspective on a lot of things and reinforced alot of what I already knew. I eat a few servings of almonds, unsalted peanuts or cashews, yogurt, & cheese for my fats.
Thanks for the reply. I do eat 6 meals a day all high in protein and low in carbs & fat. I hit the eliptical 3 times a week (sometimes more)using a HIIT (High Impact Interval Training)method for 20-25 minutes. I also use the BodyBugg for tracking calorie intake & burn. My biggest down fall I think is I tend to fall off my nutrition on the weekends. I have a renewed commitment though and I am stoked to start this new Max-OT training program.
