Nice, guys more info! thanks.

Damn it Spock, making me crack up!

Its been a week and half, I slacked a little Saturday and Sunday with food because of all the celebration, and driving. But its the 2nd time I have weighed myself. Last night I used the gym's professional scale again, I weighed in at 165.4 pounds, with just same shirt and gym shorts I was wearing at the previous measurment, no shoes. So I gained close to 5 pounds!!! I'm sure some of its water and food thats in my stomach, but what the hell at least its more! I also retook my body fat index and it was 5.5%, the same as the first time.

My intial soreness is gone, I'm doing .5 to 1.0 mile on the treadmill when I first get to the gym, about 5 to 10 minutes, slow jog. I feel like it gets my heart rate up a little and pumps me up to go down stairs and start lifting. I have been doing lower rep(6-10), higher weight(until I can't lift anymore). I have been going alone but I ran into an old friend thats now 6'0" and looks like a body builder(Huge!!) so hes been helping me out, little pointers and spotting me. I haven't been using the smith machines. And I'm glad you really do feel like your getting a much more full workout when your using your stabilzer muscles.

I'll keep you guys updated, keep the info coming guys if you have any additional input.
