Every time I think about getting into bodybuilding again I get motivated like I used to be about triathlon. So today I started body building again. I'm starting out with a short stint of anatomical adaptation, once I feel like my body is ready I'll start two 6 week phases of hypertrophy, which is the time when the serious muscle gain happens.
Today I also went to the UNM physiology lab & got my body fat tested. The results that I got were really bad! I am back up to 222.2 pounds at 19 percent body fat. Aahh! But I'm not that upset about the results because I know this is my starting point. I'll start dropping fat gradually from this point on. & I'll be packing on muscle quickly- I have a great metabolism for bulking up. My short term goal is 220 pounds at 10 percent body fat. I'll be continuing biking & running a few times a week for fun & to be able to finish any triathlons I may enter later on next year, but my main focus will be on muscle gain! I'll keep you informed on my progress. Thanks for tuning in!

Good luck Cody. I completely understand the burnout and agree with your tri buddies that it maybe time for me to "step away from the training" log and just get out there and have some fun. That's why we started this in the first place, right? The unfortunate part is that it sounds easier than it is since we both are competitive at heart.
I wish you luck in your weight training and hope that you can get to that "ideal" weight and stick with it. I'm praying for some peace with that for your brother, I know that it's tough. (BTDT but have managed to stay @ 168 for over a year now)
Take Care,
Chris
