So I was at the gym today during my lunch break from work and the wierdest thing happened… well, maybe not that wierd but it was surprising!
So I’m doing my dumbbell bench press set of 130 pounds on each hand and afrer my second set I notice that I was actually lifting 130 on my left and 135 on my right! At first I thought maybe someone had switched my weights during my water break but then I remembered that something had felt a little funny.
So I said oh what the hell, I’ll just even it out and do 135s on both arms! And to my pleasant surprise I did the set with 4 clean reps! It’s crazy because it’s been a couple of months since I maxed out at 130. Like 2 or 3 months tops. I was NOT expecting or planning on surpassing that mark any time soon. But I did in a very short period of time and so unexpectedly. It’s amazing what our bodies can do. Sometimes we downplay our abilities and limit ourselves unnecessarily.
Wow! I think without a doubt i’ve entered into beast mode. Its official folks

Progress pic. Still in maintenance mode but slowly cutting. I started doing cardio again, once a week. Tonight was the first time working out in half a month but my muscles got enough rest and I destroyed it at the gym too!

On Sunday and Monday I did yoga, 1 hour per session. Tuesday I lifted weights, focusing on pecs, triceps, quads and biceps. Wednesday I’ll take a kickboxing class for one hour and Thursday do weights again. I’ll rest and recover Friday and Saturday and back at it again on Sunday.

That’s the plan
