Whilst I know it's kind of possible, I realised that I had a priority, and that was adding muscle mass. Training to run long(ish) distances isn't really conducive to that aim, so that got knocked on the head. After a while, I found that keeping up with football, Taekwondo and weights wasn't really possible - no matter how much I tried mentally arranging it I couldn't find day number 8. I'd already dropped football one season in favour of TKD and didn't want to again. So, regrettably, I finished TKD. I still intend to take up fighting again as I do really miss it.
I got really interested in exactly how to build muscle - what to eat, when to eat, when to work out, for how long and how frequently. When to rest, what supplements to take and which not to.
There is a lot of conflicting information available and I read through a tonne of it. I've put together plenty of different plans to follow to keep mixing things up and the result was around 21lbs of muscle gain, going

I'm still a novice at this stuff but I'm enjoying learning and I think this might end up being a dumping ground for all the stuff I have learned/find out in the future...
It's slow progress, but it's progress...
