The Cycle Completed

Last week, I completed my 12 weeks cycle of weight training. It was basically a sort of compound exercise routine to increase some muscle size. I have been quite successful in achieving my mass goal but I haven't yet got there completely to achieve the ultimate goal of having a body half of the size of my gym instructor. I think that's a pretty attainable objective.

I am very tired now of going straight to the gym from office without any chutti. Yesterday, the muscles literally screamed to stop pushing more. I could not even lift a light one for legs (my light one for leg press is 268 lbs). I sat down thinking what to do next. Should I continue pushing myself to finish the day's workout or should I go to Sauna and sit there for a while (but the weather!!) or should I do some quick laps in the pool... My heart was on the iron but the body and mind said "what the fuck are you doing? just go home". But I was still not sure.

I went to the changing area to see myself. Yes, I saw in the mirror and realized that I can still give my gym buddies a run for their money. So, I thought taking a full week rest won't hurt me and reduce my size...

I talked to the instructor to make a plan for me for the next level that would include some good diet and a new routine for bigger muscles..

I have a meeting with him in the afternoon. Let's see. The point is how would I now motivate myself to push for another 12 week program but I will somehow have to....

Sorry for so many I's in this post but it's about me and myself so "I" had to be there.... at all times.......
