The day after: First off, my body weight yesterday before breaking the fast was 70.2 kg (154.4 lbs.). Anyhow, I slept pretty well. I did have a small bowl of yoghurt, egg yolks, raw milk, and whey protein an hour after my steak tartare yesterday. Also made sure to load up on extra sodium and drinking a lot more water than I usually do – to help re-hydrate my body as it gets nutrients […]

By / / Personal Blog / Training, Life & Opinions / 3 minutes of reading

Time for an update for the gymrats. In late July I hit 80 kg. Then I cut back and stabilized around 78 kg. A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I would try and reach 85 kg after completing a 3-day fast to ‘reset’ the system. Well, I haven’t really gained that much weight at all. In my last update on August 25, a week after the fast, I had gained back 2.5 kg.

If anyone is interested in what I’m currently doing, here’s a short update for you. In early February, when I got back to the gym after more than three years mostly off from training due to my illnesses, I weighted a measly 62 kg (136 lbs.) Fortunately, I’m used to be between 74 and 78 kg, and due to muscle memory I hit 80 kg (175 lbs.) in late July. Starting August, I’ve been

Although my mother’s passing took a toll on me, I was prepared and at peace with that. We had seen it coming for months. However, being at the hospital for such a prolonged time at my current state (while seeing her wither away) burnt me out. It burnt me out really bad. As I mentioned earlier, I had done too much too soon and I was already on the brink of burning out when

May 3 and May 12, 2020. Training and Recovery Update with Q&A

By / / Personal Blog / Training, Life & Opinions / 3 minutes of reading

Building muscle and shedding body fat. In my last post from April 14, I had re-gained about 7.3 kg (16lbs) since about February. In the last two weeks, although my back and ribcage were busted for 10 days, I gained another 2.2 kg and I’m now at 71.7 kg (158 lbs). Might not sound as much, but my old “bodybuilding” weight was usually between 72 and 76 kg when fairly ripped, and at 80

January 29, 2020. A little update on my recovery

By / / Personal Blog / Training, Life & Opinions / 3 minutes of reading

In my last update, I had just started ‘working’ again in a very limited capacity. I do have access to an office landscape, where I challenge my oversensitivity to external stimulation twice a week (sensitivity to motion, sounds, interactions, flickering lights, etcetera.). This has worked well, actually so well that I’m now back at the gym for about 4 or 5 strength training sessions a week. Although it’s a lot of noise and strength
