This is an active recovery week for me...so everything is light and just moving blood around. Since it is a recovery week...I got some weird stares from some gym bros when benching. My weights are so reduced during this week, I only had 185lbs on the bench.
These 3 guys kept watching me from one side of the room like I was a pussy! I stay covered up for the most part in the gym.
I felt like just pitching the bar up in the air on my last few reps just to see how they would react. 
But next week starts the heavy shit again...and then I will slowly start reverse dieting and see how much weight I can gain before my abs start to blur. Last time it was about the 205lb range. I think I may push the envelope this year, be real strict, and see if I can get back to around 220lbs which is what I normally walked around at 4-5 years ago! |
8lbs thats not bad at all, you'll have that down this week for sure. I never pay my surroundings any attention. Always in my own little world in the gym. 220 would be wild!
On a seperate note, It was leg day yesterday and at the end of my workout I realized I was completely drenched in sweat. I could literally wring out my shirt. Shorts were completely soaked as well, everything but the lower half of the front of them. Need to start bringing a towel to sit on afterwards, always feel so bad hoping in my car following the workout haha. Other than that it was a wild leg day, surprised I am not too sore today.
