Not a bad session.

In physiology today we measured our bodyfat using a variety of methods – mine ranged from 6% to 33%. Funny to see just how inaccurate various methods are.
I also found out that bathroom bioimepdence scales only measure bodyfat for your lower body and the hand held ones only do upper body. You can get ones that do both (it has a stand with handles on it) though but it’s still probably inaccurate.

I also found out that my weight is now 86kg. Which does make the fact that I’ve maintained most of my strength while losing 10kg quite impressive but it also means that I’ve lost a heck of a lot of weight due to my endocrine problems and my arms are down to 16″ from 17″

Ruined my entire day.

Chest and Triceps – I need to get my strength back

Had to test out my strength today so I gave flat bench a go.

Back Training – Felt Good Being in the Gym For a Change

Haven’t really trained much in the last 2 weeks, medical problems and what not demotivating me. Today I forced myself to do it and it turned out to be quite a good session.
