I’M GOING TO HIT A 405LBS FULL SQUATS! I’VE DONE THIS BEFORE BUT NEVER FULL.MORE LIKE HALF SQUATS…BUT TODAY IS A NEW DAY!

beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!

ON MY WAY TO THE GYM TO HIT THEM SQUATS! I’VE NOTICED THAT ON MY NEW DIET,SINCE I AM EATING LESS CARBS AND CALORIES THAT ITS HARD TO KEEP MY STRENGTH UP! SO I JUST ATE A BOWL OF PASTA WITH LEAN GROUND BEEF AN HOUR AGO AND NOW IM TAKING MY NANO VAPOR AND I’LL SEE HOW MY STRENGTH IS TODAY.I READ THAT ITS BETTER TO CYCLE YOUR CARBS EVERY 2-3 DAYS LIKE THIS LOW CARBS ON OFF DAYS,MEDIUM CARBS AND THEN HIGH CARBS AND KEEP THIS CYCLE SO YOU DON’T BURN MUSCLE AND YOU CAN LEAN OUT! ITS ALL ABOUT LEARNING TO TWEAK YOUR CARBS/DIET TO MEET YOUR GOALS.

TOOK THE WEEK OFF.ITS BEEN OVER THREE MONTHS HARD CORE TRAINING!!I’VE REACHED MY GOAL AND GAINED OVER 15 LBS…A LITTLE FAT.. BUT MOSTLY MUSCLE… NOW TIME TO LEAN OUT….NEW DIET…BURN A FEW LBS… START MONDAY! FOR NOW I WILL ENJOY MY WEEKEND! REMEMBER ALL MEN DIE BUT NOT EVERY MAN REALLY LIVES! PUSH HARD! LIVE HARD!
