Working it Out!
The purpose of this blog is to document, in a very public way, my endeavor to gain about 30 lbs and some muscle mass. Since my surgeries in the early 2000's and the abuse my body has gone through over the past few years have taken their toll. It is my hope to regain some of "what I used to have." Presently, I am 5'11", 161 lbs.,

Well, 6 weeks of Androgel and a whole lot of good food and exercise and I'm a solid 174# Yeah! I think I've reached my goal.
Additionally, I can now do 3 sets of 15 dumbell chest presses aat 20# each. (My highest weights) (I'll have to go get some 25's and 30's. But 3 sets. Yippee! Stronger by the day.
I also look pretty damn good for 51 too.

I must have been Dreaming
171 didn't last for long and I'm back at 166.8. Oh welll. I have continually increased pressing weight and had been consistant on that.
Yesterday, I accidentally shaved my entire face so today, I am struggling at looking in the mirror and seeing a lack of facial hair (read: masculinity) It kind of makes me want to do drag!
So - tomorrow more food, more calories and more iron. I'll get there. I've got to because winter is coming and my long pants are two sizes bigger than I am right now. Summer has been great becuase I bought a bunch of new shorts in 32 waistline but I have only 34's for falll and winter.
It's time to get a butt!

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY ONE POINDS!
YES!
Gleefully, I eat my oatmeal with fresh wild blackberries, brown sugar and butter. That butter is awfully helpful in weight gain. Also, on Saturday, I had a Sourdough Jack from Jack's Box (I knew that woulld do the trick).
So now I miust really pump up the pumping up or I might turn into a plump old man. Not pretty.

Finally!
Today the weight went up. Yes, today I hit 169lbs. I think I may have broken through the tough part. I seem to think that water weight kinda plays around with you for awhile until finally, it gets used to being there and decides to become permanent.
Anyway, great news, now let's not go back to 166 tomorrow.

I just don't get it.
I keep fluctuating between 163.5 and 166. Back and forth, back and forth. I've been eating really well, trying to incorporate more meals into the day. Any thoughts?

Weight Down!
Hmmm, Tuesday my weight was 163.7# down from where it was. I wonder what happened. Anyway, I just finished a semi-chest/bicep workout. First time I was able to do 3 sets of 12 at 20# each. Yeah! (Boy, do I have a long way to come back.)
I finished each set with flyes and then did some seated dumbell curls, 3 sets, 12 ea.
I think about 1999, training with KC at Gold's everymorning and can't believe I actually did all that. Where did it go in 10 years?
Ah well.
