Operation Herculean Update – Week 4

Topic: Operation Herculean

Just a quick update this week. I took off all of last week because my training partner got pretty sick from overheating in Bikram yoga and my upper left back around the shoulder blade was still bothering me from pushing myself too hard in a normal yoga class. I’ve been letting it recover and helping it along the way with self massage. It was starting to feel pretty good, then 12 hours of traveling from Las Vegas back to my hometown in Alaska jacked it up again.

So I’m taking another week to work on it and get it good enough to begin lifting weights seriously beginning on Monday, along with starting my real muscle building diet. This means I’ll start packing on weight from here on. My goal is to add 1 to 2 pounds a week to my frame over the next 4 months.

Currently my official weight stands at 172.2 lbs, only an increase of about 1 ½ pounds this month, but I also lost a couple pounds of fat from my waist. My main focus was to get conditioned to begin lifting weights seriously and besides my strained upper back muscle, I feel my condition is stable enough to begin.

Next week, Operation Herculean truly starts. Time to get rocking.
