Well today was a good day. I realized that some of the machine exercises were being done wrong because the seat was too low and so I was killing my shoulders. As soon as I fixed that my machine press, lat pulldown, pec flyes all got better (the burn was hitting my chest or back as the case may be) I upped the number of reps and weight on my bicep curl and side bends from 20/25 to 25/30. I tried weighted crunches (1o poound plate …..great burn all around.
My cardio is going really well 25-40 minutes a day. the burn during it and the high after makes me fee like I am unstoppable. I have not started using sups yet accept whey protien. The daily high of the cardio and workout is something I am looking forward too each day
Couple of random issues:
1) I weighed myself ( in my underwear) and my weight was 177. I started at 185 . I am thinking it was because previous weighs were in clothes and shoes which add weight.
2) I did a bodyfat test ( a electronic device nopt caliphers) and i found it was 15.2 . now I have been working out hardcore since I started working out (this is day 4) now one of those online bodyfat calculators said I was 19% bodyfat. using this as a base line I was suprised to get a 15.2 % reading. I am gonna get a bodyfat test and fitness work up in the next few days hopefully i can get an accurate reading!
3) I totally had a loss of will power . i was so hungry so i went out for subway .. pretty healthy if you get the right sandwich and go easy on the dressings and stuff) but they closed just as i got there so i got Mc Donalds! I feel really guilty right now . I need to do this all out if I want to get theat body I am working for! I am gonna add 15 minutes of cardio tomorrow to try to catch up for my lapse!
The god news is that as i was getting ready for my shower after my workout I noticed that at rest my stomach is getting flater and the outline of a great six pack is beginning to apprat when I tense my stomach. My obliques are starting to flatten so that the love handles are starting to vanish and that V look is starting to appear!
Its only the beginning but I am psyched to see how I look and feel after a month of 5 workouts a week with 30 minutes of cardio each day!
Good day overall

hey man, keep it up! looks like you’re on track. sometimes those electric BF measurements are inaccuratek especially post workout. Mine read 6.7% but I highly doubt that I’m at that. I’m probably around 10-12% range. Don’t feel guilty about cheating bro, especially if you’re working out hard…
Don’t forget, change is good. Change up your cardio routines. Throw in something different and fun, so you don’t get bored of running on the treadmill. Kickboxing or cycling are killer. Good luck!

don’t beat your self up about eating at McD’s. if you eat fast food, just get grilled chicken like a sandwich or salad. you can eat healthy are any fast food place, but you have to be smart about it.
keep up the hard work, your doing great.
