After two weeks of silence finally I got time for a new post. While January mainly consisted of lying around due to my one week stomach bug adventure and my one week of (unexplainable) fever, and February started with a nice cough, my gym decided to close its doors for a week for hmm… redecoration?

However, they decided to replace all the good oldschool barbells and benches with some new equipment which sucks big time. I’m more focusing on not killing my wrists while bench pressing than the exercise itself. Great stuff, guys. OK, they also replaced some machines by better ones. But in my opinion, barbells and dumbbells are the most important tools when it comes to “bodybuilding”.

I also noticed that I lost another 10 pounds although I started working out again and could manage to return to my regular food intake (actually, my scale tells me I lost something between 5 and 15 pounds - I love it). I decided to increase calorie intake a bit. I’m also trying to provide more glucose after my workouts (to trigger that insulin peak to open the cells for the postworkout whey protein) by drinking grape juice. 12 weeks to go…
