That's a lot of ab work?

Still need solid nutrition for tissue repair.

If you don't train and eat with a purpose you can't expect to make great gains.

"most of the time" won't get the job done.

Eating BIG + Training BIG + CONSISTENCY = RESULTS

FWIW- Unless you are a genetic freak you can expect that it will take about 3yrs. of solid training and solid eating to see solid results.

It's not a destination. It's a journey!

So you did bench press and pull ups. And bicep curls? Curls for girls?

How about squats? deadlifts? Pendlay rows? weighted dips? power cleans? push presses? How much weight did you add to these lifts? 

1st day back at gym today, I will probably leave when I wake up a little bit more, I'm sort of anxious - 2 weeks feels like 2 years. I can only do bike machine though, but still, fun fun fun.

100 reps of 5kg bicep curl (will increase probably 2.5 each week) - before operation I was curling 17.5kg each hand.

100?!?!?!

Okay so I am back to full motion of my body in regard to weights and other, I have decided to just do chinups, dips, pullups, pushups and ab crunches - with very minimal wieght lifting. My whole training program has been 80 percent cardio and I am feeling like x100000 times better, my serotonin has just gone through the roof tantamount to being injected cocaine in my heart.

I go full speed on the treadmill at 20.00 or whatever speed that is (I'm basically sprinting as hard as I can) for about 30-40 seconds or until my heart feels like its going to explode out of my chest, I then rest for about a minute with my hands above my head breathing heavily and repeat this 3 times. I then have a 5 minute break wash my face with water get my breath back. I then do this 2 more times and rest/stretch down and yea seriously you have no idea how much better I have been feeling, I am never x countrying again - I never felt this good and I was always fatigued!!!!! Apparently the military train the same way with their sprints HIIT or whatever its called.

Hope this helps

And again, the running continues, although I am starting to get blisters now because I don't have proper running shoes, I chose to spend my xmas money on going out clothes, when I should of bought some new runners. Hopefully my old man hooks me up until I get paid or something. It's annoying running with slip on shoes and my toes hurt aswell. But funnily enough, even though I just came back from the gym + running I still feel like I could run a few more laps, I have a crazy amount of energy which is sort of freaking me out a bit.

Well, I've been at the gym everyday for about a month now and not even close to burning out, it's like whoever said over doing the gym means you won't sustain it long was some fat lazy fool.

I have to give credit to Wldfg who has now transitioned my motivation at the gym to now thirst for that pain and suffering, this morning it was pouring heavily in my area, flash floods (terrential rain) I then went for a jog up my mountain, couldn't see in front of me because the heavy rain was splashing in my eyes, every second I had to wipe my face, coming up there were mudslides, rockslides, mini rivers, had my shins covered in mud and dirty water but I loved every minute of it then later that night I went to the gym, I keep doing my sprinting sessions everyday until I'm close to puking. I had my head over the sinks between breaks haha, it's great fun though I just keep pushing myself harder and harder everyday, I want to seriously just break and push limits which are unbreakable, know what I mean?

As you can tell, I have laid off the serious weight training I only do a little bit of curls, dips, chinups, pushups to maintain my muscle mass (if any that I have) - maybe once I have cut down fully I might bulk up later, but I don't like being fat, I rather be lean with not much muscle, than having muscle and no visible abs.

I hope its pouring down again tomorrow I am so up for round 2 with that treacherous mountain   - Talking about all this is making me pumped and I'm about to sleep, haha.
