I have started to do Interval training again after reading Mike Boyle's book whereby he explains that in terms of conditioning / metabolic / muscular benefits HIIT wins hands down over steady state cardio + walking on an incline is boring! The reason I stopped doing it was because I was to sore for workouts, but now with extra Kcals am thinking this shouldn't be an issue.
I stopped drinking for the last few days of my holiday to get rid of any alcohol bloat and am now focused solely on growing.
Weight - I feel that because I used to weigh 18+ stone I have found the last few months mentally difficult as although I know I need to put on mass in order to get stronger I spend far to much time worrying about putting on excess body fat which is incredibly counter productive. At the end of the day in order to reach the numbers I want to hit in the gym (for myself but also in terms of a future career in S&C I need a respectable level of strength to be taken seriously) I am going to have to go up to at least 185-190lbs and yes some of that will be fat but I just need to deal with it.
Although walking around in everyday life I may look like I lift compared to others I am reminded every time I step in the gym just how much stronger I can be if I want...
