Thanks and Yhea I was a bit surprised that my strenght levels had not dropped that much. I am also very happy to be training again, gives lives some more purpose if you know what I mean.

Hows your summer been Mike?

Yeah definitely know what you mean about lifting. I think about lifting and eating too much myself probably but progress in nearly anything feels good.

Summer was long and lazy. Mikemike style. No summer classes so that was cool. It was hot as hell though so I cooled down with cold beer frequently.

How does your class schedule look? Plenty of lifting time available I hope.

Yhea I probably think about training 1000 times the amount I actually train LOL

Sounds like my summer except the hot part, this summer it was to much rain here in the land of ice and snow!

Its classes 2-4 times a week I think, but it is not mandatory to show up, the only thing thats mandatory is to deliver a paper at only 2000 words and a 6 hour exam in the end of the semester, so in summary it will be plenty of time for training this semester :slight_smile:

Thanks for being the first person to check out my log lol! I like what you’ve got going on here.

Diet this first cycle have been a bit unconsistent, some days a good amount of foods, while others have not been that great. Also to much out on the town at night. Will try to get my shit togheter offcourse.

Regarding BW: It have gone up and down during the cycle aka 59-62kg.

Yeah it feels amazing to be back into weights after a break huh. The body craves it.

Haha too much drinking. I know how that feels! I have partied too hard this cycle and it affected my lifts. I’m going No Alcohol for the next month, to see if I can smash some PRs. In one month it is my birthday, so I will be drinking for that!

I still believe you need to really attack your metabolism and crush it with food bro. Crush it!
