Not much of a photo person, it was hard trying to find enough to see the differences over time. Especially right at the start in Apr this year where my weight was down below 70kg but feeling weak AF.... which kickstarted started off this whole strength training since.
Amazed at how fast I was able to pack on the muscles despite age and re-starting so late, but this time around I did do things in a much more scientific manner, after much reading and watching videos...
Decades old knowledge gleaned from college days on gluconeogenesis, fat and protein metabolism.... and more...
Yet I still couldn't wrap my head entirely around the exact "why" until after watching this video below. Then everything made sense when my over half century old neurons connected the dots this time. Trial and error or not-- I think the best thing that happened was stumbling onto my workout and post workout supplement drinks...
It talks about losing fat which I already knew quite a bit but this 2 video contains more. If you have been experimenting with various macro-nutrients and putting in the correct ones in the body, everything will make sense after watching this video.
The medial epicondylytis injury is putting a strain on training after last month's "1000 Pull ups"... had to take more breaks for the whole of Sep and the training log became a sea of "red" with no entries for for many days in the 3 key daily exercises. Expecting progress to decline in the next few weeks and planned more abs and leg works in conjunction with the training to be held in office.
The extra abs work both at home and at work seems to be reaping some benefits. Its a long road but something I am not about to rush albeit the temptation at times to do so is great. Just like the dragon-flag here that started out looking more like a caterpillar in May this year...
