Greetings everyone!!! I've been keeping a little diary of my strength work in kind. Temporarily stopped keeping it in the spring. It had nothing to do with the fact that I stopped working out. I was sent on a long business trip for work. And every quarter I try to change something in my life, particularly in my work. Unfortunately, I have a problem with the language barrier and when I write my thoughts, sometimes it is difficult to optimize them into another language. For you think in a different language. So with the pressure of work, I temporarily did not write. As we notice, it's already summer outside the window. And this is a very different quarter of the year, correspondingly new thoughts. So I decided to bring back journal writing.
I am also trying to make progress in my training process. The progress has not stopped. In my reports, I did only the training program. Didn't talk much about food and tight monitoring. This aspect needs to be corrected. One of the highlights of the training process, I additionally included the use of insulin growth factor 1 unit per training day. This gave me a tremendous impression. It had an effect on my sleep, and afterward the hint of mild muscle soreness after the training process disappeared completely, despite the progress of the regimen. Because of this aspect, I increased my training volume. And in 2 weeks of the training process, I added 4 kg of my own body. The food aspect I didn't change. I started taking measurements and my waist went to -4 centimeters and my hip circumference went to -6 centimeters. So I decided to measure other muscle groups.
At the same time, I was monitoring my cardiovascular system. Through training and introducing additional manipulations I reduced my blood pressure by -10 and my resting heart rate (both high and low) by -8 heartbeats on average. I'll talk about weights and volume in more detail in future posts.
Why did I decide to use IGF? The thing is, it's very hard to train and strive for a high goal without incentive. When I started using something inside something changed that it needed to be plowed through. It's like the fuse was lit up again. It feels like I just started training. The other reason, I need to get back into the competitive ranks. It has to do with the fact that I'm currently involved in organizing competitions at NPC. We're going to have an amateur tournament. It imposes a lot of obligations. One very interesting thing is that the parallel federation, which used to support ELITE PRO, began to scare us with disqualification. We just had a season of both bodybuilding and powerlifting in May, when the students came out. I was not very well aware of the disapproving glances, as a partisan in our field.
I was also greatly influenced by the spring, because of my relationship with my friends. It spurred me to think twice: who am I? What do I do? What will I do next? Unfortunately, a close friend of mine has done a lot of bad things that his case has been going on for a month now. He must go to jail. And for a long period of time. He has no relatives and not many close friends. So at this point, I try to help him. I wondered: what if I had lost that time, what would I have regretted? What would I have had time to do? My significant other also had a problem, he needed a large amount of money to solve the problem. I decided to help him. When I considered this whole situation, it also affected me mentally and gave me a boost.
All in all, I had an unusual spring. I hope the summer brings many surprises and lessons too. I resume the diary. I will try to describe my training process in detail in a couple of days. And a little more about the IGF.
