Yeh I took quite a bit on board, I have been looking into the p90x routine as well and thought it looked like a good all round program for post strength/size phase. Whats your thoughts on stuff like p90x and the many others out there.
The shoulder is going ok. Still struggling to lift any sort of real weight. I find that I am compensating with other muscles giving me a bit of lower neck pain. So I pobably need to isolate it more and concentrate on building it up a bit more.
Weight gain wise I have put on 15 lbs all in. Mostly good old fat. No abs now but it feels good to be a slob for a while without the constant gym and bike routine. I am actually flying off on Wednesday for 6-8 weeks work so plan to start training military style and cut down 8-10 lbs of that. Get a good base fitness and then hammer the heavy stuff APR through mid JUN then a cutting cycle til about end of July. Should hopfully have gained a good 5lbs+ of lean mass and also have the abs out a bit.
Hey kdub,
Wrote a little piece on weight gain on thread pegasus (not pegasus place).
Used to ride bikes ,tilll I took a flying crash over a station wagon and lost my nerve.
actually before I broke my shoulder I had a shot on a 2004 gen3 CR500AF and I was 3 seconds quicker a lap than on my 450 that was set for me and had been on all year. It has so much power that you can be cruising into and through mid corner. Crack the throttle open and its warp speed. You go past 450's like a 450 would a 125. Strange sensation. Also if you ride it like a 125 by keeping your momentum up through the corners by taking wide lines it actually doesn't tire you out to much.
I have ridden the CR 500 and realized quick that I was never meant to be on such a beast, the power delivery of that engine is incredible. The CRX 450 is a much more manageable bike but I guess that would take the fun out of it all then. The CR 500 will always be a better "Look what I got" bike though. I will stick with the smallbores and leave the bigbores to the pros like you and JP.
