The Arnold..and my training

As I'm sure you know...the Arnold classic is on this weekend in Colombus, Ohio. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the show this year, but I will be watching it on PPV this afternoon. I'm truly looking forward to it :) The women competed yesterday....the results were interesting...my dear friend Desiree Ellis placed third in the lightweight class...and another fellow Canadian, Christine Roth placed fifth in the heavyweight class...both of these ladies looked great. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the 20% reduction in muscle mass/conditioning...it may take some getting used to...the ladies were in great condition, but softer than previous events. The men are on stage today and I'm really curious to see the outcome!
Well, that's enough about the Arnold...

My training went well this week. My weight loss doesn't seem to have affected my strength...atleast, not this past week anyway. My weight is in the mid 150's and yet, I'm progressively getting stronger. You'll definitely see the changes over the next few weeks. As for my strength....my knee injury seems to have subsided, this may be a good indication that it's almost completely healed. I'm back to leg-pressing seven plates/side on the leg press...getting some strength back for squats may take longer though...however, I'm still able to squat 225lbs...so, it's not that bad :) After being sick last week, this week during my chest workout, I still managed to kick up the 70lb dumbbells for incline presses and bench press 205lbs . I was very pleased!
Hope you have a great weekend!
