From late August until mid-October , I did German Volume Training. Worked great, put on 15 pounds. Did a new regimen afterwards and gained another 10 by thanksgiving. These were pretty much beginner gains.
Starting around Thanksgiving, I developed a throat infection. It started out viral, stuck around, eventually turned bacterial. Fast forward to December 20th and I’ve got an abscess. I got it drained, but it came back. Had a tonsillectomy, right now I’m on Post-Op day 6. I haven’t worked out since thanksgiving because of the throat infection. Lost 10 pounds because of that. Since the operation, I’ve lost another 10.
I’m pretty sure the 10 I’ve lost since the operation will be put on faily quickly once I can eat again (Only recently have I been able to tolerate shakes). My question is, though, what are all of your thoughts regarding GVT? Think a 4-week stint would be benfeicial? Or pick up where I left off (less volume, more weight)?
Weight before illness: 167
Weight before surger: 157
Weight now: 145
Thanks.
