week 3 g2f check in

I had a bad week overall sustained a nasty tailbone injury which made me take it easy for 3 days total, on the plus side I seem to have fully recovered. I had to cut this last workout short due to my wife needing me home so it was only arms and forearms that I got in plus my pre workout warmup run. I was frustrated by it and the injury and the time between sets is what kills me the most I think, 3-4 mins between sets and each set lasting approx 1.5 mins it kind of sheds the gogo mentality of go hard or go home that I have grown accustomed to in the gym. Either way I have steeled my resolve to folllow the program to the letter. I am here monday night post workout and I feel pumped, I am seeing the differences more each week now and feeling that strength increase at each workout. On the weight side of things I hit 172 this morning so finally seeing it go up again when I had stalled at 169 for a bit. I think it was the rest that did it for me personally. Total gym time for the 3 weeks rings in at 4.5 hrs to date, yep that is right 4.5 hrs.
Cal burn wise I am up huge, from a max before the program of 3500 to an average busy day ringing in at 4000+ cals a day. So something is definately going on body wise, I am also hot nost of the time body temp wise. Sleeping in a cooler room has helped with that but it does not help the wife much when she says I am like a sauna when I am sleeping lol. So I will keep you updated and try to get some additional measurements this week. I am also planning to up my cals starting tomorrow for the 4th week to around 4500 to see if that aids in recovery more.
