since I last posted / blogged anything. Well I’ve been lifting off and on and I haven’t been AS determined and motivated like I used to be. Well I’m getting back in the game with some new supp’s I just got the other day. Still taking the Animla Pak multi’s and drinking shakes, but the new supp I’m trying out for the first time today is CL’s Blue Gene. My reasons for this is a few. First, I’m looking to increase my TEst level’s, secondly decrease estrogen, thridly, looking to gain my strength back. well, I’ll be on here later this afternoon to let you all know whats up.

Deadlifts 225lbsx12 reps, Assisted pull-ups 8-10, Burpees 12 reps; 3 rounds 1 minute rest between each round

seated db press 10-12 reps, barbell shruggs 15 reps, front delt raises 10 reps 3 rounds 1-2 minute rest between each round

Standing barbell curls 4×10, tate press’ 4×12

 Finished this shish in about 40 minutes. What a session. Havent worked out like this in a while. I hated it, but loved it at the same time (no homo).

I’ve been on a weight loss journey for about 7 weeks now. When I started, I was at 234lbs. Now im down to 222lbs. Eating clean is hell, much props to those who are committed to that. I workout about everyday except for sunday. Cardio on my off days of weight lifting. Still doing some powerlifting sessions here and there, but nothing as serious as it was before this journey. Eventually I will get back into powerlifting once I drop to the weight that I want to be at. I would like to drop down to about 200-210. Hard work and dedication will get me there.

I normally dont workout in the evenings, but since i couldnt do this during the afternoon hours like I normally would, I made time for this.
