Gym Update

I have been busting my ass in gym for past few weeks and been eating good clean food as much as I could, but when I measured my weight I got a shock of my life, I actually gained more weight, a month a go I was 79.5kg and now I am 81.5kg! WTF!
But the good news is, my fat percentage reduced from 33% to 31.5%, and my muscle mass increased as well. So this is good progress (according to the trainer there), meaning that I put on lean muscle, not fat! But some how I still think I should weight around 75kg, that would be ideal and with body fat less than 25% (sigh............)

And there is another shock, there was a new trainer joined in, he is ex bodybuilder, but he going to compete next year and he approached me to be his training partner! He asked me "have you ever compete in competition?" What? are you serious? Me? Competition? Me contesting in any BB competition would be a disgrace to that competition. Anyway I politely told him, nope, I never completed in any BB competition and the thought never crossed my mind before. Later he invited me to train with him for a year and he told me that we can enter competition next year! Wow, I am not sure about competing, but I am all ready to train with him, to be trained by a pro for free? who would decline that?

Had a first session with him last night, he train me on my back (Lat muscles). Oh man... I was all wrong in my technique all thie years, I did two back exercise with him 4-3 reps each and I WAS DONE! He really worked me! I had no energy after that, He didn't use much weight, but the techique is totally new. Now I understand the different in training alone and being trained by a pro. My body is totally aching this morning, and I am looking forward to work on my pecs tonight! What a fun!
