Gettin Ripped

Well, my Highland Games season was pretty much a wash this year. A couple injuries, and the weight loss really kept me from really performing like I would have liked to, but such is life.

I have completely taken my mind off of Highland Games for no in order to focus all of my energy in the gym, and it is going well. I am almost back to the point where I was before the "Hernia"like injury.
I am still at 220 pounds, and after another appointment with the bod pod, I found out my % of body fat has gone down a good bit, and I am really close to my goal of 18-20% bodyfat. Last October I was at 27.9% (I think) and I am currently at 22.6% bodyfat, a pretty decent change IMHO.
As far as lifting my deadlift is up to 365lbs and my bench is at 210 for 1RM. I have recently started squatting again, but have not attempted a total 1RM yet, but I am very near 300 which is where I left off last time I was seriously in the gym.

My diet slipped a bit this summer, but I am doing well getting it back on track (weekends are brutal though). Within the next couple weeks I should have my diet completely hammered out and I will once again be eating for success.
I am feeling so energized about the gym lately. I feel like I want to go 7 days a week, but I know I need days off in order to rest and so my massive muscles can get shredded. lol So I am there anywhere from 4-5 days a week and I love it, I actually think I am addicted to lifting right now. Let's just hope that I can keep up the moment and start getting some massive PR's again.
I haven't been journaling (is this a word?) my workouts like I should be but I am going to find the trusty workout log tonight and start tracking everything so I can post on here.

I reckon that about sums it up. I am heading to St. Louis this weekend to hang out with some friends and see one of the last Regular season games for the Cardinals before their run to the Series!

also want to give a quick shout out to www.muscle-geeks.com This is my new supplier of dietary supplements (and sweet free t-shirts) If you need any supplements, check these guys out, their prices are great and you will be helping out "the little guy"
