DIET — Don’t be a pansy (Day 55 of 60)
It’s official……..made it thru June with no cheats. I took some progress pics this morning. I’m leaner than May 8, which was my wake-up call date after getting lax on diet January to April. That was the start date of the No-Pansy Zone for diet. I’m realizing from the pics that with my wide obliques, I’ll never have a very narrow waist. But I’m still going to stay tight on diet to get the abs to show……before the end of this decade. 
I’m back down to the weight I was at before the end of 2008, but I think I’m a little leaner & with just a tad more lean mass. The heavy cycles have truly helped, as I have never been very successful at gaining muscle (just looking at my 1988 & 1990 pics proves that).
WORKOUT THIS MORNING — BACK:
(5-8 reps, 90 sec’s rest on pullups, 45-60 sec’s rest on weights)
– Pullups (20, 12, 8, 6, 5. Last set superset w/ bentover barbell rows). Stamina is improving after the 1st set.
– Close grip cable pulldowns (4 sets, last set superset w/ cable rows)
– Bentover barbell rows (4 sets, last set superset w/ bentover DB rows)
– Wide grip cable pulldowns (4 sets, last set superset w/ cable rows)
CARDIO: 20 min’s HIIT on elliptical. Heartrate 165-175. Followed by 10 min’s LIIT on elliptical. Heartrate 150-155.
ABS: Situps on decline bench w/ 10 lb wt (5 sets, last 2 sets w/ dropset)
Just getting to the gym IS a successful workout!
